What is TCM period cramp relief
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), period cramp relief involves a holistic approach that addresses the underlying imbalances in the body's energy (Qi) and the flow of blood. TCM aims to promote harmony and balance within the body to alleviate menstrual cramps.
Common Symptoms of Period Cramp
- Pelvic Pain - Dull, aching pain or cramping in the lower abdomen or pelvis is a hallmark symptom of period cramps.
- Lower Back Pain - Some individuals may experience pain in the lower back, either independently or in conjunction with abdominal discomfort.
- Thigh and Leg Pain - Cramps may radiate to the thighs and legs, causing additional discomfort.
- Sharp or Stabbing Pain - Some individuals may experience sharp or stabbing pains in the pelvic region during cramps.
- Gastrointestinal Symptoms - Cramps can be associated with gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, nausea, and sometimes diarrhea.
- Headache and Fatigue - Some individuals may experience headaches and fatigue during their menstrual period, which can be associated with period cramps.
- Mood Changes - Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation can contribute to mood changes, including irritability, mood swings, and feelings of sadness.
Causes of Period Cramp from TCM Prespective
Cold Womb 宫寒
Exposure to cold weather, living in a cold environment, or over consumption of cold foods may disrupt the normal flow of blood to the uterus and surrounding tissues, resulting in insufficient warmth and circulation in the uterus. This restricted blood flow can cause stagnation and the accumulation of blood in the uterus, leading to increased uterine contractions and heightened pain during menstruation.
Blood Stasis 血瘀
Menstrual cramps may result from blood stasis in the uterus, leading to pain and discomfort during menstruation. Factors such as cold exposure, physical injury to the pelvic area, such as childbirth, surgery, or accidents, can cause localised blood stasis in the uterus.
Liver Qi Stagnation 肝气郁结
In TCM, the liver organ system plays a vital role in regulating the smooth flow of Qi and Blood throughout the body. Emotional stress, anger, or frustration can disrupt Liver Qi function, leading to distending pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation.
Kidney Deficiency 肾虚
The Kidneys are considered the foundation of vitality and reproductive health in TCM. Deficiencies in Kidney Qi or Yin (the cooling, nourishing aspect of the Kidneys) can weaken the lower body and lead to symptoms such as lower back pain, fatigue, and menstrual irregularities, including cramps.
These causes are often interrelated, and individuals may experience a combination of patterns. Our TCM Physicians will examine your tongue and pulse, along with a detailed assessment of symptoms and medical history, to identify the specific pattern of imbalance in each individual. Treatment strategies then aim to address the root cause of the issue and restore balance to the body through acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications.
