#4 Period Pain | Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine & overcoming period pain with Dr Joanna

Today I have the privilege of speaking to Dr Joanna Macmeikan, a registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner, she is passionate about all things women’s health including painful periods, vaginal health & improving the vaginal microbiome. Joanna helps women live a life with less pain and more joy. Not only an incredible practitioner, but she also prides herself on being a mother, a bookstore lover, hula hooper and down to earth human. Joanna uses a combination of herbal medicine and acupuncture to go beyond conventional medicine and address the root cause of imbalances within the body. Highlights: What is Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture? How do they complement each other, and combine with nutrition to heal women? What are the causes of painful periods? How can we get to the root cause of period pain? What herbs are used to support period pain and imbalances within the body? Why is there taboo around vaginal health, periods and women health? I loved chatting with Jo so much, I plan to record future Podcasts on her and chat about the Vaginal Microbiome & taboos around vagina's!
