HORMONE MANAGEMENT ACUPUNCTURE (menopause, pregnancy, hormone balance)

Medical acupuncture influences hormone balance. The insertion of thin needles triggers a response in the nervous system, leading to release and regulation of hormones. By encouraging hormonal equilibrium, acupuncture supports overall well-being, contributing to a more stable mood and improved health.

Acupuncture may help mitigate the hormonal imbalances that contribute to menopausal symptoms by regulation of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, it can help reduce symptoms of sweating, irritability and insomnia.

Acupuncture can help regulate irregular menstrual cycles by influencing the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis. This axis plays a key role in controlling the release of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which are essential for a regular menstrual cycle. Many women experience relief from menstrual pain through acupuncture.

For those trying to conceive, acupuncture can improve fertility by increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, balancing hormones, and reducing stress levels. These factors can enhance the likelihood of conception, whether naturally or in conjunction with assisted reproductive technologies like IVF.

Treatments involve inserting sterile needles at specific points, leave the needles for 20-30 minutes, sometimes using electricity or press-needles (intradermal plaster), to go home with, for extended effect and home stimulation. 

Typically, a treatment period comprises 10-12 sessions (once a week), tailored to individual needs.
