EP 23: TCM Perspectives

Have you ever looked at your tongue and wondered what it means?  Did you know that you can get a lot of information about your body by looking at your tongue, checking your pulse and menstrual cycle blood?

Are you suffering from menstrual pain and wondering what to do about it? Have you ever wanted to treat your pain before it comes!? Getting a proper western diagnosis can be very helpful but so can getting a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis using your symptom history, tongue and pulse! Although we can take ibuprofen and NSAIDs with each period to address the pain, if we overdo this, we can get stomach gastritis and ulcers.  Treating the pain before it comes sounds better than ever.

TCM practitioner, Mary Wong teaches us how to take a proactive approach to menstrual pain by addressing blood stasis. What the heck is blood stasis? Listen in to find out. It's a traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis that is often used when a woman has endometriosis. Endometriosis is a topic we covered in Episode 21 with Dr. Sharma, from a western perspective. Today we discuss how to consider it from a TCM perspective which includes using the Tongue and Pulse as a way to diagnose and treat endo.

How do you deal with blood stasis? You move blood…which kicks menstrual pain to the curb and can improve your quality of life and fertility. Learn the impact of acupuncture and some easy at home treatments to prevent and treat menstrual pain from a TCM perspective.  Endometriosis doesn't always cause menstrual pain but for some women it can cause an even more grueling form of menstrual pain. Look out for our next episode where we will discuss effective lifestyle strategies including movement, nutrition and supplementation strategies to improve Endo.
