Why Your Cycle’s Off in Chinese Medicine

If your period doesn't come at regular intervals—maybe it's early one month, late the next, or skips entirely—
Chinese Medicine sees this as more than just a hormonal issue.
It’s a sign that your Qi, Blood, and organ systems are out of sync.

A healthy cycle typically arrives every 28 to 30 days, give or take a few.
When it becomes unpredictable, TCM looks deeper to identify the root cause and restore balance.

Common TCM Patterns Behind Irregular Cycles:

• Liver Qi Stagnation:
  The Liver governs the smooth flow of Qi and Blood, especially around your cycle.
  When stress, frustration, or emotional tension build up, Liver Qi gets stuck—throwing off your timing.

• Spleen Qi Deficiency:
  The Spleen produces Blood and helps hold things in place.
  Weakness here—often due to overthinking, poor diet, or fatigue—can cause spotting, longer cycles, or irregular bleeding.

• Kidney Deficiency:
  The Kidneys govern reproductive essence and deeper hormonal regulation.
  Deficiency here can result in long-term cycle issues, often seen postpartum or during the menopausal transition.

An irregular cycle isn't just inconvenient in TCM—it’s a signal that your internal system is out of rhythm.
Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes, we can help bring your cycle back into balance.
