Balancing women's hormones naturally, from adolescence through menopause. Experience the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine and acupuncture combined with modern nutritional science for a truly holistic approach to your hormonal health journey

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Condition: Characterized by hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, and ovarian cysts, causing irregular periods, excess androgen, and metabolic issues.

Treatment: Acupuncture helps regulate hormones by targeting specific meridians related to reproductive function. Research suggests it may reduce testosterone levels, improve insulin sensitivity, regulate menstrual cycles, and reduce inflammation. Regular treatments can help restore hormonal balance and manage symptoms by stimulating blood flow to reproductive organs and supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.

Perimenopausal/Menopausal Symptoms

Condition: Declining estrogen levels causing hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness.

Treatment: Acupuncture regulates the body's thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus, significantly reducing hot flashes and night sweats. Points along the Kidney, Heart, and Spleen meridians help balance yin and yang energies disrupted during menopause. Treatment also stimulates endorphin release to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and promote better sleep quality. Many women report considerable relief within 6-8 weeks of regular sessions.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

Condition: Cyclical physical and emotional symptoms occurring before menstruation, including mood swings, irritability, breast tenderness, and bloating.

Treatment: Acupuncture regulates serotonin and dopamine levels, which fluctuate during the menstrual cycle and contribute to mood disorders. By stimulating points along the Liver and Spleen meridians, it helps reduce water retention, alleviate breast tenderness, and ease abdominal cramping. Regular treatments before symptoms typically appear can prevent or significantly reduce PMS intensity by harmonizing the flow of Qi (energy) and blood throughout the body.

Endometriosis

Condition: Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, and sometimes infertility.

Treatment: Acupuncture provides effective pain management by triggering the release of natural painkillers and reducing inflammation. Points around the lower abdomen, sacrum, and back help increase blood circulation to the pelvic region, which may slow abnormal tissue growth. Treatment also modulates estrogen levels, potentially slowing disease progression. When combined with traditional Chinese herbal medicine, many women experience significant symptom reduction and improved quality of life.

Thyroid Disorders (Hypothyroidism/Hyperthyroidism)

Condition: Imbalances in thyroid hormone production affecting metabolism, energy, mood, and weight.

Treatment: Acupuncture helps regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis, which controls thyroid hormone production. Points around the neck, along with specific body points on the Kidney and Spleen meridians, help stimulate proper glandular function. Regular treatments can reduce inflammation of the thyroid gland and improve symptoms like fatigue, temperature sensitivity, and anxiety. While not replacing conventional medication, acupuncture serves as an excellent complementary therapy that improves response to treatment and overall wellbeing.

Hormonal Acne and Skin Issues

Condition: Persistent acne, especially along the jawline, chin, and neck, triggered by hormonal fluctuations, particularly excess androgens or imbalanced estrogen-to-progesterone ratios.

Treatment: Acupuncture addresses hormonal acne by targeting the root causes rather than just the symptoms. Treatments focus on points along the Lung, Large Intestine, and Stomach meridians to clear heat and toxins from the body. Specific points on the face using cosmetic acupuncture techniques can reduce inflammation and promote healing of existing blemishes. Additionally, acupuncture supports liver function to help metabolize excess hormones, particularly androgens that contribute to oil production. When combined with herbs that balance hormones and clear heat, many women see significant skin improvement within 8-12 weeks of consistent treatment, with reduced breakouts and improved overall complexion.

Frequenctly asked questions from my clients

  • Most patients notice initial improvements within 4-6 sessions, though significant hormonal rebalancing typically requires 8-12 weekly treatments for lasting results.

  • Acupuncture works as a complementary therapy that may eventually reduce medication needs for some patients, but any medication changes should only be made under your doctor's supervision.
