Hormonal Balance for Women: Acupuncture for PMS, Menopause, and Fertility

Women’s health is deeply connected to hormonal balance, and when hormones are out of sync, issues like PMS, irregular cycles, infertility, and menopause symptoms can arise. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture offer a natural way to restore balance. Using acupuncture and herbal therapy, our providers can help address the whole spectrum of women's health issues, from PMS, to fertility, to pregnancy care, to menopause.

Acupuncture helps regulate the endocrine system, reducing symptoms of PMS like cramps, mood swings, and bloating. It also promotes ovulation and enhances fertility by improving blood flow to the reproductive organs. Many women undergoing fertility treatments turn to acupuncture for increased success rates. We can also use herbal therapy to promote regular cycles, decrease PMS symptoms, support fertility, and also for perinatal support.

For menopause, acupuncture can help alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, and anxiety by balancing the body’s Qi and cooling excess heat in the system. Herbal remedies like Dong Quai and Black Cohosh further support hormonal harmony. We have several herbal formulas at EastWest Acupuncture that can help reduce the severity of those menopause symptoms, as well as others like irritability, vaginal dryness, muscle tension, and more! We also have a course in our online resource, EastWest Connections, that provides additional insight into menopause and offers guidance on how you can address many of these concerns on your own!

By incorporating acupuncture and herbal medicine into a holistic health plan, women can naturally regulate their hormones and find relief from common reproductive health concerns. Give us a call or book online today!
