Menstrual Disorders

The human body’s delicate hormonal balance can be easily disrupted by modern life styles and stresses. Hormonal balance can in turn have an effect on mood and energy levels, clarity of thought and smoothness of skin. All of this can lead us to unhappiness in our home life, work or studies. 

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help bring hormones back in to balance, alleviating most types of menstrual disorders. Acupuncture has been proven to effect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, regulating the interaction of these three endocrine organs. It has also been shown to affect adrenal hormone production and regulation.  See also Medical Research Infertility.
