Manage Fibroids Naturally
with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause discomfort, heavy menstrual bleeding, and other symptoms. For women seeking a natural approach to fibroid management, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) provide holistic solutions to reduce symptoms, shrink fibroids, and restore overall reproductive health. At Acupremier Acupuncture, we offer individualized care to help you manage fibroids, ease discomfort, and improve your quality of life.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Fibroids are benign tumors that develop within or on the walls of the uterus. They can vary in size, number, and location, and many women with fibroids experience no symptoms at all. However, for others, fibroids can cause significant issues such as:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
Pelvic pain or pressure.
Pain during intercourse.
Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder.
Lower back pain or leg pain.
The TCM Perspective on Fibroids
In TCM, fibroids are believed to result from an imbalance of Qi (energy), Blood, and the flow of energy through the body. Specifically, they are often linked to the stagnation of Qi in the Liver and Blood, combined with the accumulation of Dampness or Cold. TCM aims to break up these stagnations, improve circulation, and promote the movement of Blood and Qi to shrink fibroids and reduce their symptoms.
TCM therapies are also focused on nourishing the Kidney and Spleen organs, which play an essential role in reproductive health, and improving overall vitality.
