In the European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology researchers from the Department of Internal Medicine at Kaiserin Elisabeth Hospital in Vienna recently conducted a study observing the effects of acupuncture on endometriosis.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is often used to treat an extremely broad range of women's health issues including irregular menstruation, painful menstruation, PMS, fertility, and more.  Endometriosis can be a very debilitating condition that is often a strong contributing factor in fertility issues for women.

The majority of us find acupuncture to be a relaxing and useful treatment modality.  The relaxing aspect is something which comes as somewhat of a surprise for new patients.  Many expect this painful experience that they only put up with because nothing else has worked.  Instead they find themselves extremely relaxed, possibly even asleep, during the treatment.  People are also surprised that acupuncture treats far more than pain and creates various internal, measurable, changes in blood chemistry, hormones, etc.

So how to go about learning the system.
