For example PMS, irritability and mood swings might be due to Liver Qi Stagnation. In this case, specific combinations of acupressure points rebalance the body.
CranioSacral Therapy enhances the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid that nourishes the central nervous system. One example of its usefulness is in migraines and tension headaches that so many women experience. Specific techniques suport the subtle movements of the cranial bones and often relieve head and jaw pain.
