Looking at PMS through a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) lens, symptoms before your cycle are often related to how smoothly Qi and Blood are circulating, especially through the Liver system.
When that movement becomes constrained, people may notice:
❕tension in the neck, jaw, or temples
❕headaches before your period
❕breast tenderness
❕irritability or emotions, buildup
❕feeling “stuck” physically or emotionally
In TCM, the goal is to restore flow and circulation so the body can transition into the menstrual phase more smoothly.
That’s also where techniques like facial cupping come in. By gently stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage in the face, jaw, and scalp, it can help release tension, move stagnant fluids, and support the body’s natural drainage pathways.
If PMS symptoms are showing up strongly every month, your body may be asking for support.
At What’s Good Wellness, we take a whole-body approach using acupuncture, cupping, and personalized care to help restore balance and circulation.
