Gynaecology / Period Pain

There is no need to suffer in silence. Contrary to popular belief and western medical standards, these conditions are treatable and normally curable. Many doctors say that Chinese herbal medicine & acupuncture treatment can take years to correct these problems as it is very slow. This is not so. Results can be noticed within weeks.

How does it work?
Acupuncture treatment releases "Happy Hormones", (body chemicals known as endorphins), which effectively provide quick pain relief. Acupuncture also promotes regulation of hormonal function and local area blood flow. Herbal treatment increases basal body temperature, regulates blood flow, regulates function of hormones. This is done by using Chinese plants that naturally contain hormones.


Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are natural, drug free, effective ways of restoring mental, physical and emotional balance. Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine provide a drug free alternative for treatment of gynaecological and obstetric conditions curing not only the painful symptoms but also correcting the cause of the symptoms. Thus preventing the likely hood of a recurrence.. You are likely to experience a great feeling from the very first treatment. While some conditions do respond very well to a single treatment, in most cases, a course of treatment may be necessary. Kenneth Snell of the Oriental Medicine Clinic is trained in treating difficult to treat gynaecological conditions and has experience and success in this area.

Menopause (& Early Menopause)
Hot flushes, night sweats, increased FSH levels, irritability, a dry mouth, nervousness, anxiety, palpitations, & sleeping problems are symptoms that many women face while going through menopause. Women in this case can be helped. Chinese herbal medicine is very effective at relieving the above symptoms and is more effective than western based hormone replacement drugs. Women taking western based drugs still face some of the above symptoms as the drugs are not so effective at treating all facets of Menopause. Western drugs also have unwanted side effects which Chinese medicine does not have. Taking drugs can sometimes exacerbate the condition & may not be safe long term. Results can usually be seen in the first week when taking Chinese herbal medicine, though the majority of women usually need to continue treatment for a few months. It is a misconception that treating Menopause with Chinese herbal medicine is arduous and long, taking years to cure. Irritability, a tendency to loose one's temper, and hot flushes are symptoms that can definitely be controlled & eliminated by acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine.

Period Pain- Endometriosis- Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome- Uterine cysts- Ovarian Cysts
Period cramps, irregular or painful periods are not at all quite normal. Pre menstrual syndrome (PMS), breakthrough bleeding and headaches associated with your period don't have to be something that you have to suffer in silence. Taking medication to simply ease the pain & discomfort doesn't get to the real cause of the problem. By masking the pain you are likely to experience similar pain next month. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can both relieve period pain (abdominal & back pain), breast tenderness, irritability and headaches once administered. To prevent pain and irritability during the following period, a few treatments may be given before it arrives. It is quite possible that your pain and irritability may never return if you are treated in conjunction with your menstrual cycle.


For more serious conditions such as Endometriosis- Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome- Uterine cysts- Ovarian Cysts, Chinese medicine will not only relieve pain, but regulate your period so that it arrives approximately every 28 days also reducing mid cycle spotting. The medicine also dissolves cysts reducing the risk of them returning. Western surgeons can only remove visibly large cysts during surgery. Some cysts are too small to be removed, thus they keep growing causing complications later on in life. Therefore once having cysts removed surgically it is recommended to take Chinese medicine to prevent them from returning as they often do. Pain can be dramatically relieved.
