A study conducted by Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has determined that the use of moxibustion at specific days during a woman’s menstrual cycle can decrease pain associated with menstruation. Dysmenorrhea or painful menstruation is a big problem for many women. This study used moxibustion, an accessory modality of TCM, to treat the pain associated with menstruation. The study and its systematic review showed moxibustion treatments were more effective at relieving pain only when the moxibustion began prior to the onset of actual menstruation. This is also the theory behind Traditional Chinese Medicine, that it should be used as preventive care. The efficacy of using moxibustion during the premenstrual time period holds great promise for those who are debilitated by dysmenorrhea. continue reading

I appreciate that he knows how to treat my body to strengthen my overall health and when, recently, I had an injury, he gave immediate, effective help.... Read more »
Valley Acupuncture is the best!! I found Valley through the internet of acupuncture searches in my area. I have been desperate to quit smoking for years. I am in nursing school, and feel that it is extremly important to practice good health and teach it to others. I was very scared to quit smoking because I had been smoking for 20 years.
