How TCM Helps

The practitioners also specialize in breach presentation acupuncture induction.

TAO OF MEDICINE draws on the rich tradition of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acknowledging its history of treating women’s conditions for thousands of years. The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, Huangdi Neijing, written around 200 BC, laid the foundation by explaining female anatomy, physiology, diagnosis, and treatment of menstrual symptoms and pregnancy-related illnesses. Ancient Chinese physicians recognized the unique aspects of women’s bodies and diseases, emphasizing the vital role of women’s health in the stable growth of a strong country.
While contemporary TCM doctors adapt their approach to women’s health, integrating insights from Western medicine, acupuncture, and herbal formulas, there remain phenomena unexplainable by modern scientific and medical perspectives. The practitioners at TAO OF MEDICINE hope that ongoing studies and research will scientifically validate these aspects in the near future. Women's health issues such as fertility, PCOS, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, irregular periods, abnormal bleeding, and other menstruation-related concerns continue to be effectively addressed with a blend of ancient wisdom and modern medical knowledge.
