The abdomen is a part of the body that many of us pay little attention to, unless we experience pain and discomfort in this area or are not happy with its appearance. However, the abdomen contains many of our vital organs and in women, the reproductive organs too. Therefore, health of the abdomen contributes greatly to wellbeing.
Many women experience intense pain and heavy bleeding before and during menstruation but believe that this is ‘normal’ and something that they must endure. However, symptoms such as PMS, cramps, clotting and irregular cycles are in fact signs of imbalance and in many cases result from misalignment of the abdominal organs. This is also true for many digestive disorders. Due to the close proximity of the abdominal organs and tissues, which share common neural pathways, improper alignment of any of the organs can result in stagnation and congestion elsewhere. Digestion, fertility and immunity are closely linked.
