Women’s Health & Fertility

Women’s Health

We are often asked how we tackle women's health issues, especially period pain, peri-menopause or menopause. Chinese Medicine sees all your symptoms as connected. With this in mind we will ask you about your menstrual cycle as well as questions about your sleep, energy, mental health and digestion. Some of the questions may seem odd initially but the answers you give allow us to understand the reasons behind your condition. 

IVF and Chinese Medicine

At Remedy we understand that trying to conceive can put a lot of pressure on your emotional well-being. Chinese Medicine practitioners recommend Acupuncture as an adjunct to IVF treatment. With this in mind we recommend the use of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to assist you on your journey.


We are focussed on the whole clinical picture. You will find us inquiring about your periods, your PMT symptoms, body temperature, mood and digestion to get an overall picture of your fertility.

Or, better still, talk to your IVF specialist or Acupuncturist directly about this.

Pregnancy
Care

At Remedy we see women at all stages of pregnancy.  In the early stages of pregnancy many women may experience nausea, extreme fatigue and constipation. It is important to remember that there are many changes occurring in your body and you will need to adapt your lifestyle to accommodate these changes. 

Towards the end of your pregnancy our focus turns to teaching you about some commonly used acupressure points for pain relief.  For these sessions we ask that your doula or birthing partner come in so they can learn these effective points.
