PMS, PCOS & Other Menstrual Disorders

Your cycle is one of the clearest windows into your overall health. Pain that stops you in your tracks, moods that arrive like clockwork, periods that are heavy, irregular or missing, or a week each month where you simply do not feel like yourself. These things are common, but that does not mean you have to accept them.

Many women have been told for years that this is just part of being a woman.

In Chinese Medicine, the menstrual cycle has always been treated as a vital sign. Each phase tells us something, and a regular, comfortable cycle is seen as a reflection of good health. Your cycle responds to the right support, and that takes more than getting through each month as it comes.

At Lumiere, we look at your whole cycle and your whole picture, and build a treatment plan around you. This may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and practical food and lifestyle guidance. I commonly see women for period pain, PMS and irregular or heavy cycles, and for support alongside medical care for endometriosis and PCOS.

If your period has been running your life, my care works comfortably alongside your GP and any treatment you are already receiving.
