ACUPUNCTURE FOR PMS AND PAINFUL PERIODS

Acupuncture for PMS is a safe, effective, holistic way to address menstrual cramps, irritability, emotional ups and downs, bloating, fatigue or hormonal acne around your period.  Prolonged or heavy bleeding can also be treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine.  This Cochrane review found that Chinese herbal medicine was helpful for pain relief and reducing dependency on pain medication during the menstrual cycle.
