Painful Menses
Painful Menses Take a Hike with CAM
(Complementary Alternative Medicine)
Acupuncture and herbs
have been found to be highly effective in regulating
many different imbalances in the menstrual cycle.
The following is a letter from a patient who wanted
to share her experience.
"Having just been told that a hysterectomy was the
best possible solution for what had become twice
monthly heavy and painful menstrual bleeding, I
stated emphatically to my physician that it was
simply out of the question and began looking for
alternatives. After researching Chinese medicine and
acupuncture specifically, I contacted one of the
professional associations for a referral to a
Chinese herbalist. I received David's name and
explanation that he was also an acupuncturist and
experienced with naturopathic practices. David's
soothing manner, intent listening skills, and sound
knowledge of Oriental healing practices were a
welcome relief to the absence of dialogue I have
experienced with western medicine.
We formed a triumvirate partnership with David's
knowledge and experience, my divine sources of
healing, and myself with the shared intention of
resolving this. Using a combination of herbal and
acupuncture methods, I am happy to report that I am
having one cycle a month, on time to the day, and
what is the closest to a reasonable flow I have
experienced in twenty-five plus years. Perhaps if
there is one aspect that cannot be emphasized enough
it is the importance of focused intention. During
each session and at other times whenever it came to
mind, I stated clearly to myself, "I am well," and
directed healing to my womb.
It is with great gratitude I thank my partners in
this matter and acknowledge to you that I trust
David with my life. I do not say this lightly or
often of anyone."
