Adolescents and young woman
Adolescents and young women respond so well to natural medicine, yet many are over medicated today. While the Pill (synthetic hormones) is excellent birth control, it comes with risks as well as benefits. It should not be the go to option in treating painful or irregular periods in young girls. Consider acupuncture and/or herbal medicine for the following:
- Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
- Irregular periods
- Amenorrhea (no period)
- Menorrhagia (heavy periods)
- Headaches
- PMS
- Acne
- Anxiety and Depression
- Anemia
- ADHD
- Eating Disorders
