Amenorrhea

I recently had a lovely patient who had not had a period for two years. Medical investigations hadn’t shown a clear cause, but during our consultation it emerged her periods stopped after a big shock and trauma.

Sadness and shock deplete the Qi of the Heart. In Chinese Medicine, the Heart governs Blood and it has a strong connection to the Uterus. So it is accepted that these can be causes of amenorrhea.

After three treatments the patient got a period, and to this day she has had two monthly bleeds and feels much more optimistic about her health.

There is no bigger satisfaction than being able to help people.
