Q. Can menstrual symptoms be improved with acupuncture?
A. Acupuncture is a useful tool for relieving some specific symptoms associated with PMS and periods.
An Australian study looked at acupuncture’s effects on period pain over 3 months of treatment. Over half of the women who participated had 50% or greater reduction in their period pain symptoms.
These benefits were sustained for up to 9 months after treatment ended. There was also a decrease in the use of pain medications, as well as other menstrual symptoms such as headaches, breast tenderness and mood changes.
