Hormone Imbalance

How Does it Work?

We help our patients enhance their body’s ability to self-regulate, naturally and effectively.

Our approach works with YOU, creating an individualized treatment plan to help balance YOUR hormones. This is not a one size fits all approach, but a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan that helps bring your body into balance.

Acupuncture is believed to help balance hormones through several mechanisms:

Stimulating Nervous System: Acupuncture can stimulate the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, such as endorphins and serotonin, which may influence hormonal balance.

Improving Blood Flow: It may enhance blood circulation to the reproductive organs and endocrine glands, helping them function more effectively.

Reducing Stress: Acupuncture is known for its ability to reduce stress and anxiety. Lower stress levels can lead to a more balanced hormonal response, particularly by reducing cortisol levels, which can negatively impact other hormones.

Regulating Menstrual Cycles: For individuals with menstrual irregularities, acupuncture may help regulate the menstrual cycle by impacting the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which control hormone production.

Enhancing Ovulation: In some cases, acupuncture may help stimulate ovarian function and improve egg quality, which is beneficial for fertility.

Balancing Yin and Yang: In traditional Chinese medicine, hormonal imbalances are often viewed as a disruption in the balance of Yin and Yang. Acupuncture aims to restore this balance, promoting overall health and well-being.
