Acupuncture for Women's Health
From puberty to menopause, the female reproductive cycle plays a significant role in shaping our quality of life. While Western medicine has made strides in treating women’s health issues, options can still be limited. Acupuncture offers a holistic approach, empowering women to regain control of their well-being.
How can acupuncture help my menstrual health?
PMS
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) involves a mix of mental, emotional, and physical symptoms. In the West, PMS is often accepted as normal, but in Chinese medicine, anything beyond mild cramps signals imbalances that need attention. Acupuncture works to address these imbalances.
PMDD
​Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is distinct from PMS and but is often considered a severe form of PMS. It includes more pronounced mental-emotional symptoms, such as suicidal thoughts. Acupuncture focuses on hormonal regulation and the mind-body connection, helping to manage the effects on your quality of life.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis and adenomyosis can cause debilitating pain and have serious impacts on mental health and fertility. Acupuncture can support pain management and help address dietary and lifestyle factors to tackle the root cause.
PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) includes symptoms like irregular periods, hormonal imbalances, and skin and hair issues. Acupuncture treatments focus on hormonal regulation, offering a holistic approach for long-term improvement.
Menopause
Perimenopause/Menopause is a normal physiological process that can present with a wide range of symptoms. Regular acupuncture treatment can help support you through this transition, leading into what Chinese Medicine calls our ‘Second Spring.’
Whether you’re exploring alternatives to medication or surgery, or seeking a complementary approach to Western treatments, my thorough and holistic approach can significantly improve and maintain your reproductive and menstrual health.
