Women who experience irregular periods with longer menstrual cycles have been associated with a higher risk of ovarian cancer, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, mental health issues and now, a shortened lifespan. At Jade Integrated Health, we are a team of practitioners who are devoted to promoting women’s health and longevity. We integrate physical therapy for pelvic health, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to balance menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause states in a woman’s life.
Treating Peripheral Neuropathy with Acupuncture
Treating cancer often requires using strong medicine. Chemotherapies work as toxins to kill cancer cells. Unfortunately, they often cause harmful side effects and although it is important to eradicate cancer the patient is often left with health issues. Acupuncture during chemotherapy and radiation can lessen nerve damage and may even prevent it.
The Importance of Electrolytes and Hydration
Summer is an especially wonderful time to be in Maine. There is so much to do outside and we want to take advantage of our time outside gardening, working, and playing. The sun is very strong on those warm summer days and it is easy to get overheated or sunburned. Our electrolytes can be imbalanced by over exertion and sweating profusely.
