March is Endometriosis Awareness Month

Endometriosis is a common health problem in women. The name comes from the word endometrium, the tissue that lines the uterus. In this disorder, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows and implants itself outside of the uterus, in other areas of the body.

This condition commonly cause from moderate to significant pain in concert with your menstrual cycle, leading to what I call Screaming Uterus Syndrome. I am a licensed acupuncturist at Body & Soul in Salem, MA and I have personally struggled with these disorders. It was my frustration with current medical treatment options that led me to research my alternatives, especially acupuncture, herbs, Chinese medicine, reflexology and yoga.

Acupuncture, Endometriosis and Uterine Fibroids

Acupuncture is an ancient healthcare system, yet it has stood the test of modern practice and research is increasingly supporting what the Chinese have always known. Over time, acupuncture has developed a number of specialties and one of the most well-developed is women's healthcare. Several hundred years ago, specialists in China were treating women who had symptoms that today would be diagnosed as endometriosis and uterine fibroids. More recently, National Institutes of Health research has confirmed that acupuncture is effective in relieving symptoms and reducing frequency of occurrence for both of these disorders. Acupuncture is a safe, effective, but gentle approach to regaining your body's natural rhythms and balance. More importantly, acupuncture does more than simply treat the pain associated with endometriosis and uterine fibroids. Combine with herbal and dietary therapy, many women will find acupuncture to be the beginning of a path to healing.

If you are suffering from endo or uterine fibroids we can help!
Your first acupuncture session will include a nutritional and herbal consultation, as well as lifestyle recommendations along with an acupuncture treatment.

Reflexology and massage also helps reduce the pain of endometriosis. Research has shown that yoga helps the body to heal and relax. Come join us at Body & Soul on Mondays for an intimate yoga class. For more info on bodywork and yoga please visit www.bodysoulsalem.com

The Buzz on Allergies

Allergy season is almost here. If you suffer from springtime allergies try adding a little raw, unfiltered local honey to your tea every morning. Try to find honey that is made within 20 miles of your home.

The theory behind this remedy is that daily exposure to a small amount of an allergen can desensitize the body. This helps the body to resist the allergen in the long run.
