Acupuncture for CYSTS & FIBROIDS

ACUPUNCTURE FOR CYSTS, FIBROIDS AND OTHER BENIGN ACCUMULATIONS

In Chinese medicine we view a cyst as a collection of stagnant fluid and blood. While usually not a life-threatening situation, it is nonetheless viewed as a disruption in the body’s healthy processes. Women who have cysts have a hormone imbalance and are not ovulating optimally. Acupuncture helps to bring balance to the endocrine system and hormones and can directly affect ovulation. There are many acupuncture techniques to help improve blood flow to the reproductive organs and optimize ovulation.

Ovarian cysts are considered to be a product of three factors: phlegm, dampness, and blood stasis.

Acupuncture can be quite effective for cysts. What the acupuncturist might do is surround the cyst with needles, and may apply electrostim to the needles. This in addition to using points to alleviate dampness and blood stasis.
