Endometriosis & the Inflammatory Trail- The Role of Acupuncture in Treatment
This webinar brings together recent research regarding the common genetic link between endometriosis, depression and gut issues.
This webinar will provide the basis for the link between these conditions and an explanatory model of systemic inflammation. This will link to autoimmune conditions and inflammation generally as seen through a TCM lens, and the research evidence for acupuncture in the treatment of these conditions.
Kate will describe case studies and common clinical findings that support the research literature linking these conditions.
