Woman's Health Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs - PMS, Menopause Symptoms

Conditions Overview

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs focus on addressing more than the symptoms; they treat the root causes of the health issues. In fact, often more than one factor is impacting the condition. Components that can impact our health and our condition include hormonal balance, environment, lifestyle, structural and/or genetic factors. Most clients feel a reduction in stress quickly with acupuncture, while the hormonal balancing usually takes more visits.

Infrared Before & After Images

The infrared picture on the left is of a patient before an acupuncture treatment for balancing hormones and helping with reducing symptoms of her cycle. The dark blue zones are the coolest, the pale blue and the warmest zones are yellow, and the lightest yellow is the warmest. During the course of the acupuncture treatment, the patient warmed up from increased blood circulation. There is a more circulation and a more homogenous warmth in her abdomen after the treatment.

How does Acupuncture work for Women’s Health

Acupuncture can increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, including the uterus and follicles. This can greatly increase the response to the circulating hormones. Acupuncture can help regulate the endorphin and hormone levels in the brain and reproductive system. Through moderating endorphin levels in the brain, the release of hormones from the master gland called the hypothalamus can help regulate the hormone system. Through the increase of circulation, acupuncture can often help improve energy.

Additionally, acupuncture is well recognized for reducing stress, can be a significant factor in any health concern. Stress can negatively impact many conditions. By reducing stress, acupuncture relieves an overactive sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight system).

Research has shown that acupuncture can increase blood flow to the ovaries and the uterus. It also shows that acupuncture may improve the problem of insulin resistance that occurs in PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Acupuncture is said to release neurotransmitters that can influence the hormone secretions and in turn the menstrual cycle. Acupuncture can reduce inflammation through actions upon the nervous system and the hormone systems. Researchers suggest that acupuncture can reduce hormonally influenced problems, such as irregular or lack of menses.

Herbs can greatly enhance the acupuncture treatments: they nourish, supplement, reduce and regulate. The use of Chinese herbs will NOT interfere with most Western medicines or hormones. Our Chinese herbs are sourced from suppliers that meet GMP standards established by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and are tested for impurities and heavy metals.

improve hormone receptor site function
