Hi Patricia . Just wondering what we're some of the rationales behind the questionnaire I had done.
Hi Glodene,
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been around for more than 3000 years. This is WAY before any lab tests. We rely on what the body is actually doing to determine what is going on in the body. So, I asked all kinds of questions to see what kind of balance your body is in. The better the balance the better the reproductive system.
You have signs of imbalances like scanty fertile discharge, vaginal dryness, lower libido, 1-2 times getting up at night to urinate, agitated in the evening and hot hands and feet. These are signs of what Chinese Medicine calls "Kidney Yin Deficiency". You also get yeast infections, have low energy and crave sweets and have had 2 miscarriages. These are signs of "Spleen Qi Deficiency". You are also get some breast distention before your period. This is a sign of "Liver Qi Stagnation".
I pick herbs to put into your formula to help these systems. When everything is well balanced women get pregnant easily and hold it.
I know this is a little complicated or at least it was when I was learning it. We don't really talk about balance in Western Medicine other than to say things like "balance the hormones". If you have low estrogen your doctor might give you it inn a pill but they don't have anything that will get the body to increase it on it's own. That might be why there are so many side effects. In Chinese Medicine we give herbs to help the body do what it should be doing on it's own. When it is doing it's job we don't have to treat that problem any more... well, unless it goes out of balance again.
Hope this info is helpful.
Patricia
