TCM Gynecology

Nurturing the Female Constitution: Regulating Qi and Blood, Harmonizing Yin and Yang

TCM Gynecology is a unique and essential branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine, focusing on researching and treating health issues women face at various life stages. In TCM, blood is the foundation of a woman’s health; imbalances in Qi and blood are seen as the root cause of many gynecological conditions. As stated in the 'Ling Shu' (Divine Pivot): 'A woman’s life is characterized by an abundance of Qi but a deficiency in blood.' Due to physiological milestones such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, women are prone to pathological changes like Qi and blood deficiency, liver Qi stagnation, and phlegm-dampness obstruction.

TCM believes gynecological diseases often stem from emotional stress, improper diet, and irregular lifestyle habits that disrupt organ functions. Therefore, treatment does not just target the symptoms but emphasizes holistic conditioning—using methods like soothing the liver to relieve stagnation, strengthening the spleen to resolve dampness, warming kidney Yang, and promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis—to treat both the root and the symptoms.

The hallmark of TCM gynecology is 'Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment.' Based on each woman’s unique constitution, cause of illness, and disease progression, we provide personalized care using herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and Tuina massage to harmonize Qi and blood, soothe the liver, tonify the kidneys and spleen, and warm the meridians to dispel cold.
