Treating endometriosis with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine
Endometriosis is a painful condition that affects 10% of women but is often referred to as a ‘silent epidemic’, as it is not actually recognised as a genuine illness. It involves the migration and growth of endometrial cells outside of the uterus, which induces a chronic, inflammatory reaction that usually causes strong pain and may increase a woman’s risk of infertility.
Many women remain undiagnosed for years, or are wrongly diagnosed. Conventional medical treatments include pain killers, anti-inflammatories, drugs which mask the symptoms rather than treat the root cause of the disease. Surgery is also carried out, but the nodules can often grow back, or spread to other parts of the pelvis.

Strengthen Your Immune System
You can strengeth our immune system through Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs!
If you tend to catch colds often or easily, having acupuncture and taking Chinese herbs before the cold weather hits, can change this. Traditional Chinese Medicine theory claims that this happens when our protective surface energy, or ‘wei qi’, is weak, for instance when we are stressed or tired. This allows pathogens – equivalent to bacteria and viruses in western medical terms - to penetrate, where normally they wouldn’t affect us.
