Ever wonder why your period hurts and what you can actually do about it? From dysmenorrhea and PCOS to endometriosis, we’ll explore menstrual pain through the lens of Chinese medicine and dive into how traditional Chinese herbal formulas can help support the body and ease period pain. Come learn why different types of menstrual pain call for different approaches, and discover options beyond conventional treatments that don’t always work for everyone!
