A woman's body goes through many cycles in the course of a lifetime. From the onset of puberty, to pregnancy, and finally menopause, with years of menstruation in between, a woman's body and hormones are in a constant state of change. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can restore balance and vitality at any stage of a woman's life, making every transition a smooth and graceful one. Women's health issues respond exceptionally well to acupuncture and Chinese herbs which have been proven to have a positive effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, the body's mechanism that is responsible for keeping the female reproductive system in balance.
Some of the more commonly treated conditions with Chinese medicine include:
Amenorrhea (absent periods)
Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
Irregular periods
Long periods and/or Heavy periods
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Perimenopause and Menopausal symptoms
Thyroid conditions
Endometriosis
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
Fibroids
