The menstrual cycle is a good indicator of a woman's general health. A cycle that is regular with a flow that is adequate and without discomfort indicates that blood production and circulation are healthy.

For some women, menstruation may be accompanied by unpleasant symptoms. Women experience abdominal pain or "cramps".

Some menstrual cycles are associated with feeling cold, depressed, a low libido, fatigue, irritability, breast tenderness, mild cramps, abdominal bloating, migraines and/or excessive sugar cravings. Self medication may have little effect on the above symptoms and birth control pills are often prescribed for young women. None of these are good solutions. Acupuncture at the right time in the menstrual cycle, can help.

Acupuncture has been used successfully to treat cramps. It can also help other menstrual abnormalities such as irregular or heavy periods.
