Acupuncture and Women’s Health

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. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can restore balance at any stage of a woman’s life. TCM has 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.

The area of women’s health encompasses conditions related to a woman’s monthly cycle, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause.  To me, though, “women’s health” signifies much more.  One of the great strengths of traditional Chinese medicine is its recognition of the link between our physical and emotional well-being. Insomnia, depression, anxiety, and irritability can all be addressed with acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are remarkably effective in the treatment of women’s health problems.  We have treated hundreds of women for a wide variety of conditions, including painful menstruation, endometriosis, irregular periods, menopausal symptoms, ovarian cysts, infertility, pelvic pain, chronic urinary infections, and more.  

While acupuncture alone can be sufficient for many conditions, we highly recommend the use of herbal medicine in the area of Women’s Health. Chinese medicine offers safe, natural relief for these problems, without relying on dangerous drugs or surgery.

Our focus is on healing the underlying cause or causes of illness.All of our consultations begin with The 24-hour Urinalysis Interpretation developed by Dr. Howard Loomis Jr. This allows us to obtain objective results to understand and treat the illness – not just the symptoms.For more information on how this all works, please read about what this Urinalysis can do your you.
