Acupuncture for Women’s Health
Optimal health in Chinese medicine is defined as a state of harmonious balance in the body. When the relationship between yin and yang becomes unbalanced, blocked or stagnant symptomatic patterns of disease result which can manifest as a number of symptoms such as backache or period pain.
Gynaecology has been a huge part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years and Acupuncture can assist in regulating cycles, clearing infections, supporting fertility and assisting with menopause.
For centuries, women have used herbal and food medicine to balance their menstrual cycle, support ovarian function and improve hormone metabolism. Selected herbs and nutrients can help to improve estrogen, or progesterone, decrease hormonal symptoms and regulate the cycle.
Acupuncture is used to treat a variety of women’s health conditions such as painful periods, irregular or absent cycles, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome and PMS. I will take into consideration all aspects of health and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your condition to create a treatment plan specific to you.
We combine Acupuncture with other treatments and often use an infrared heat lamp, moxibustion, cupping, massage and meditation to assist the regulation of hormones and cycle as well as to calm the mind as stress is often a compounding factor for many women’s conditions.
