with PMS and PMDD



Nine out of ten menstruating women feel the effects of an approaching period some or every month(s). Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) or pre-menstrual tension (PMT) can present itself in a variety of ways from painful cramping to headaches to mood swings. Symptoms range from mildly irritating to excruciating and traditional treatments such as prescription medications may not always help (or may not be your preference). If you suffer from PMS / PMT, you may want to consider adding electronic acupuncture to your routine for relief.
Electronic Acupuncture and Its Treatment Options
The ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture has long been used for the treatment of pain and other health problems. According to its principles, your body is made up of energy pathways running throughout your body, linked through the connective tissues. When you experience cramping, headaches and other symptoms of PMS, different pathways become blocked, preventing your life's healing energy from coursing through to these areas. Acupuncture uses tiny needles inserted into specific areas called acupoints to unblock these pathways.
Acupuncture is now a recognised and respected treatment option and many insurance companies offer to pay for this type of treatment nowadays. However, what if you are not a fan of needles or cannot afford repeated trips to an acupuncturist? You can invest in an FDA approved handheld electronic acupuncture device which uses the same healing principles, only without the needles.
An electronic acupuncture device can be used in the comfort of your own home, according to your own treatment schedule. The device uses a wand to deliver electromagnetic impulses to specific acupoints in the hand, wrist and palm that correspond to particular areas of your body. For instance, if your PMT is causing cramping and bloating, you would touch the wand to the area corresponding to the uterus and ovaries to unblock the energy pathways causing pain. The same principle applies for headaches and mood swings caused by hormones.
A handy acupoint hand map often accompanies electronic acupuncture devices so there needn't be guesswork involved in self-treating your PMS or PMT symptoms. Being able to self-treat can help you reduce your dependency on prescription medications, especially if these medications have the capability of causing side effects. When your life must be altered to take into account the pain and suffering of PMS, an investment in an electronic acupuncture device may be the answer to gaining that week of your life back each month.
Of course, talk with your doctor about your PMS or PMT symptoms first. Some may require medical intervention. The good news is that your electronic acupuncture device will not only help with your pre-menstrual syndrome but a variety of other health woes (and overall wellness) as well.
