How Acupuncture Supports Women’s Health

1. Hormonal Balance

Acupuncture regulates the endocrine system to address: 
- PCOS: Promotes regular ovulation and reduces insulin resistance. 
- Menopause: Alleviates hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings by balancing estrogen levels. 
- Thyroid Disorders: Supports healthy thyroid function (Hashimoto’s, hyper/hypothyroidism). 

2. Menstrual Health

- Reduces cramps, heavy bleeding, and PMS symptoms (bloating, headaches, irritability). 
- Addresses irregular, absent, or painful cycles (dysmenorrhea). 

3. Fertility & Pregnancy

- Enhances ovarian function and uterine blood flow for natural conception or IVF/IUI support. 
- Manages morning sickness, back pain, and breech positioning during pregnancy. 
- Prepares the body for labor with pre-birth acupuncture (37+ weeks). 

4. Emotional Wellbeing

- Reduces stress, anxiety, and postpartum depression by modulating cortisol and serotonin. 

5. Pelvic & Reproductive Health

- Eases endometriosis pain, fibroid-related discomfort, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). 
- Supports recovery postpartum or post-gynecological surgery. 

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recognizes acupuncture as effective for pain management and menstrual health.
