Natural Relief for Menstrual Pain
How Acupuncture Helps You Feel Better Every Cycle
Menstrual pain may be common, but it doesn’t have to be your norm. If you experience painful cramps, bloating, mood swings, or fatigue during your period, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a natural, drug-free solution that addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
At Natural Relief in Liverpool, Sydney, we use acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to regulate your cycle, ease pain, and support long-term hormonal balance.
How TCM Understands Menstrual Pain
In TCM, painful periods are often linked to Qi and Blood stagnation, or imbalances in organs like the Liver, Spleen, and Kidneys. Cold, stress, emotional tension, and poor digestion can all contribute to this stagnation.
Symptoms we commonly treat include:
Cramping before or during menstruation
Lower abdominal or lower back pain
Bloating, breast tenderness
Irritability, mood swings
Fatigue or exhaustion around the cycle
Irregular or heavy bleeding
Rather than masking the pain, TCM focuses on regulating the cycle and clearing the root imbalance — for lasting relief.
How Acupuncture Eases Menstrual Pain
Acupuncture improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps regulate hormone activity through the central nervous system. It also calms the body’s stress response, which is often a trigger for worsening pain.
Common points we may use:
SP8 & SP10 – move blood and relieve cramps
LV3 – regulates Liver Qi and emotional tension
REN4 & REN6 – warm the womb and strengthen reproductive energy
Ear acupuncture – targets hormonal and nervous system balance
Clients often report:
Shorter, less painful periods
More regular cycles
Improved mood and energy
Better digestion and sleep around the period
Herbal Medicine for Menstrual Health
We may prescribe customised herbal formulas to support your body during and between periods. Common formulas include:
Dang Gui Shao Yao San – nourishes blood and moves stagnation
Wen Jing Tang – warms the uterus and improves circulation
Xiao Yao San – relieves mood swings and stress-related PMS
Capsules and granules are available for ease and convenience.
