Need article on herbs, pms, liver qi stagnation, breast cancer

Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

While not exactly what you are looking for... I wrote a general article on liver and liver qi stagnation called "My Liver is What?". This was an attempt to add some general context around what we call the "liver" in TCM.

A general answer to your issue, however, is it shouldn&#39t be hard to get her to obtain treatment. Who -wants- PMS?? ... I don&#39t think you need to make the devastating leap all the way to breast cancer to make your point however - even though there are some likely correlations technically... The point I usually drive home is that it is all of the little warning signs which should be dealt with long before anything happens (whether or not it really does is not worth finding out in my opinion). Things that we far too easily overlook because we can easily manage are headaches, digestive issues, menstrual cramps, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, night sweats, etc. In minor degrees these issues may just seem part of life, but I strive to make the point that they are not, they are treatable, and they are very important communicators of imbalance (albeit often minor at the time).
