Menstrual & Menopausal Health

Our treatment options support menstrual and hormonal health, including conditions like PMS, irregular cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, and menopause.

How we help

For patients seeking relief from PMS, painful cramps, and heavy bleeds, Alex and Holly work to regulate each phase of the menstrual cycle, restoring balance and easing challenging symptoms.

Both Holly and Alex have also helped many patients through the stages of menopause, and have witnessed  the empowerment and transformation that is possible when women are well-resourced during this time.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE HELP?


Acupuncture is a powerful tool for supporting menstrual and hormonal health. It works by balancing hormones, improving circulation, reducing stress, and regulating the body’s natural rhythms.

Regulating the Menstrual Cycle

  • Restores hormonal balance by supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis

  • Helps with irregular periods, amenorrhea (missed periods), and heavy or light flows

  • Supports ovulation and addresses anovulatory cycles (when ovulation doesn’t occur)


Relieving PMS & Menstrual Symptoms

  • Reduces cramping, bloating, headaches, breast tenderness, and fatigue

  • Alleviates mood swings, irritability, and emotional stress

  • Supports liver function to metabolize excess hormones (e.g., estrogen dominance)


Treating Reproductive Conditions

  • PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): Improves cycle regularity, reduces androgens (excess testosterone), and supports insulin sensitivity

  • Endometriosis: Reduces pain, inflammation, and pelvic congestion

  • Fibroids & Cysts: Helps regulate estrogen levels and improve uterine circulation


Supporting Menopause & Perimenopause

  • Regulates fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels

  • Reduces hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia

  • Supports mood balance, anxiety, and depression

  • Helps with vaginal dryness and libido

  • Improves bone density and cardiovascular health


Reducing Stress & Cortisol Levels

  • Regulates the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis to reduce stress hormones

  • Improves emotional well-being and prevents burnout or adrenal fatigue

  • Helps thyroid function, which is key for metabolism, energy, and cycle regulation


Enhancing Blood Circulation & Detoxification

  • Improves blood flow to reproductive organs for optimal function

  • Supports liver detoxification to clear excess hormones

  • Helps with fluid retention and swelling 


Holistic Support

For best results, acupuncture can be combined with:

  • Chinese herbal medicine tailored to menstrual or menopausal symptoms

  • Dietary and lifestyle changes to support hormone balance
