Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine for Menstrual Support

Many women experience PMS symptoms such as cramping, mood swings, irritability, headaches, breast tenderness and clotting during their menstrual cycle. Acupuncture and integrative medicine can be used to regulate the cycle, lessen pain and increase energy by normalizing blood flow.

Acupuncture helps the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian (HPO) axis regulate the feedback loop between the brain and ovaries, and this communication helps to balance hormones which in turn benefits the menstrual cycle, promotes ovulation and will result in a period.

Acupuncture can help restore regular menstrual cycles in women with irregular periods (metrorrhagia or oligomenorrhoea) or when the period is absent (amenorrhea). Acupuncture may also benefit women who suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome and have irregular ovulation and menstrual cycles. This can make it difficult for them to get pregnant.
