Testimonials - menstrual issues

Hey Anna,

Just wanted to let you know I got my period 45 days from my last period. No cramping at all and bright red blood. I'm so happy I got my period.By the way my last period took 104 days. THANK YOU

Hey Anna,

I thought you would want to know that I woke up this morning to start a full blown period. Heavy flow and really red. I can't imagine this would be shedding of lining considering the heaviness, but I don't know how to tell the signs of a shedding lining. I will keep notes this week on how long it lasts and how it varies from day to day. I can't really tell yet how the IBS symptoms are considering this new development! My tummy is a bit all over the  place this morning. To see a period after 4 treatments...I'll take it! ; )

Thank you so much for your willingness to help me start feeling better and to get my body ready to be pregnant! ; )

Have a great week,

- L.K.

(This new patient has periods that are irregular.  She hasn’t had her period for many months and she is amazed that after four acupuncture treatments, she has a “full-blown period.”  We are also treating her chronic IBS.)

Anna,

I am so excited! My periods have been slightly irregular, last month was 25 days, which is usually the norm for me or 26 days. This month the 25th day (this past sunday) came and went and each day as I wiped and saw no blood I was a bit sad but figured my body is doing what it needs to do. This morning I started bleeding, normal so far, not heavy (thank goodness). I am so excited though because I started on the same lunar day as last month, the day before the new moon, thats what I call "regular" and that is my desire, to menstruate on the same phase of the moon each month. I know the acupncture has helped me to regulate, thanks!

Love

C.G.

(note: This 44-year old woman is not emotionally ready for peri-menopause. In Chinese medicine, a woman should be fertile until age 49, which means that she should have her period until age 49. This patient has been using acupuncture and Chinese herbs for a variety of health issues, but our most important issue recently is to regulate her menstrual cycle. I have been treating this woman consistently since January 16, 2009. Today (March 23, 2009) was her 10th treatment on a fairly regular schedule. This woman wants to keep having her period for as long as possible. Only in the past few treatments have we truly focused on her menstrual health, as this has only been a recent issue of keeping her periods as long as her body will allow.)

Dear Anna,

Thank you so much for changing my life and the way I now view the importance of mind and body health. When I came to you in August, my menstrual cycles were 60-75 days long and I was suffering from the effects of severe hormonal fluctuations. Your caring nature and passion for Chinese medicine intrigued me and I didn’t have many options with Western medicine. Not only do I feel SO much better, but I am a BELIEVER that it’s in everyone’s best interest to bring the body into homeostasis. My cycles have shortened to 35 days and I am much more relaxed, which has resulted in a decrease in obsessive-compulsive behaviors. I was underweight and staying up too late. I’ve now gained 4 pounds and am feeling energetic but more rested. Best of all, after getting to know you and the healing power of Chinese medicine, I was inspired to make dietary and lifestyle changes to supplement the acupuncture and herbs. Everyday, I am enthralled with my progress and appreciative of your help to get me here. Thank you!

Before I came to see Anna my periods were painful and irregular. Anna helped to make them regular and to greatly lessen the pain. Now I can function and get on with my life during my periods. Also, Anna's 'bedside manner' is so soothing and positive. I don't hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends.
