Common complaints

Restoring balance

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This ancient medicine is based on the insight that physical and mental complaints arise from disturbances in the energy system of the body. With acupuncture, these disturbances can be corrected and the energy flow in your body is brought back into balance. Acupuncture encourages the body and mind to heal itself.

Menstrual complaints

In principle, your cycle should give you no complaints. Unfortunately, this is often not the case: mild symptoms to severe pain and cramping attacks, headaches, foggy brain, cold feeling, irritation and so much more. We think that this is part of it and that it's a matter of getting by. But there is definitely something to be done about it with acupuncture.

Often before menstruation starts you see complaints like cramping, pain and irritability or gloom (PMS). In acupuncture, we see this as stagnation: your body is holding on and that causes complaints.
The cycle can also cause problems: short, long, irregular, much or little blood loss, you name it.
Fatigue after menstruation is also a common complaint.


What can acupuncture do?
As acupuncture always does, it requires a very personalized approach. The important thing is that before the appointment you have kept a close eye on your cycle and keep track of when what symptoms arise. That saves a lot for the treatment method.

I will focus on the overall energy balance in your body, remove any stagnations and nourish the body where needed. So that your endocrine system calms down and after a few treatments it can regulate itself better.

How many treatments are needed depends on the nature and severity of your symptoms.
