Supporting
Women’s health
Acupuncture is a great treatment for women throughout their lifetime, supporting women through all the different stages; from puberty through peri-menopause to menopause and as it is such a gentle form of medicine it can be used into the very senior years. Acupuncture has been used to treat many obstetric and gynaecological conditions for thousands of years due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects and its effects on stimulating the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system.
All too often women put up with pain and gynaecological issues and think it is normal when it is anything but normal. For example menstruation should be pain-free and uneventful. If this is not the case, acupuncture can treat the root cause, ensuring a pain-free regular menstrual flow.
Hormonal imbalances are often at the root cause of these issues and acupuncture can regulate hormones thus eliminating many of these painful, debilitating symptoms restoring the body to equilibrium.
Stress can be a big factor in women’s health due to the demands of modern life and having to juggle multiple responsibilities. Acupuncture can increase the release of endorphins, the body’s own ‘feel good’ chemicals, which play an important role in the regulation of physical and emotional stress responses such as pain, heart rate, blood pressure and digestive function.
