How Do Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Help?
Restores Blood Flow and Harmonizes Hormonal Fluctuations
By increasing blood flow to reproductive organs / pelvic cavity / abdomen and modulating the neuroendocrine system, you will experience a more regulated menstrual cycle, reduced pain, and less discomfort overall.
Mental and Emotional Care
Acupuncture regulates hormones in the body that lead to stress and overwhelm. A single treatment can produce a calm and centered feeling that you carry for some time while consistent treatments work to correct patterns of tension and stress that are longer lasting. It reduces psychological stress, anxiety, and depression.
Internal Medicine
Chinese herbs, should your clinician add these to your treatment plan, will enhance the effectiveness of you reaching your goals. Herbal formulas are prescribed based on patterns of dysfunction and they restore correct balance to multiple systems, and you will see improvements in many areas of health.
What The Research Says:
Irregular Menstruation: Regular acupuncture treatments assist the natural cycle of the complex hormonal system, assisting natural detoxification of excess hormones for improved follicular development and ovulation.
Endometriosis: Acupuncture reduces endometriosis-related pain and improves pelvic blood flow in patients with endometriosis.
PCOS: Acupuncture improves ovulation induction in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), reduces androgens, and improves insulin sensitivity.
IVF: Acupuncture research group had a 61% pregnancy rate, as opposed to a 33% pregnancy rate in the non-acupuncture group.
What are the side effects?
Acupuncture is relatively painless, and the most common negative side effect is bruising or soreness on rare occasions. Because of how acupuncture works on the whole system, patients often report improvements in many other symptoms in addition to the main complaint that is bringing them in. Some common “side effects” of acupuncture are:
Improved sleep and digestion
Pain relief at multiple sites of the body
Reduced stress and greater emotional balance
