In traditional Chinese medicine, the menstrual cycle is seen as a reflection of the body's overall health and balance. Irregular periods, heavy bleeding, or painful periods are thought to be caused by an imbalance of qi, blood, or other body fluids.
Acupressure can help regulate a woman's menstrual cycle by addressing the underlying imbalances that may be causing these issues. By stimulating specific points along the meridians, acupressure can help increase blood flow to the uterus, regulate hormone levels, and improve the overall function of the reproductive system.
For example, the liver meridian is often targeted in acupuncture treatments for menstrual irregularities. In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is associated with the smooth flow of qi and blood. When there is an imbalance in the liver, it can lead to menstrual cramps, irregular periods, and other menstrual issues. By stimulating points along the liver meridian, acupressure can help restore balance and alleviate these symptoms.
Acupressure / acupuncture meridian theory suggests that by balancing the flow of qi and blood through the meridians, acupuncture can help regulate a woman's menstrual cycle and improve her overall reproductive health.
