Remember to apply firm but comfortable pressure to these acupressure points. You can massage them in a circular or kneading motion, or simply apply steady pressure. If you experience any discomfort or pain, stop applying pressure immediately.
While acupressure may provide relief for some individuals, acupuncture will be more effective. We’ve had a lot of success with treating irregular menses using Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs.
Chinese Herbs can also be very useful to treat irregular menses.
