Acupuncture for Menstruation
Acupuncture offers a natural and effective way to ease menstrual pain, regulate cycles and support hormonal balance at every stage of your cycle.
Acupuncture for Menstrual Issues
The menstrual cycle involves natural hormonal fluctuations that can impact a woman’s physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. Many women experience irregular or heavy periods, painful cramping, and premenstrual symptoms like mood swings, headaches, breast tenderness, or food cravings. These experiences can be so common they’re often dismissed as “normal”, even when they’re disruptive or debilitating.
Unfortunately, Western medicine offers limited options beyond hormonal birth control or pain relief. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine offer a natural, personalised and holistic approach to managing menstrual health.
How Acupuncture Can Help
Relieves pain by stimulating the release of endorphins and relaxing the uterine muscles
Improves blood flow to the uterus, supporting its function and reducing stagnation
Regulates cycles by balancing hormones, promoting ovulation and reducing PMS
Optimises the uterine lining, supporting normal shedding and fertility
Eases PMS mood symptoms, including anxiety, irritability and low mood
Supports digestion, reducing bloating, constipation or loose bowel movements
Reduces headaches and migraines linked to hormonal changes by improving energy flow
A Different Perspective on the Menstrual Cycle
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the menstrual cycle is viewed as a window into the body’s internal balance. Issues like pain, irregular timing or excessive bleeding are seen as signs of disharmony, such as stagnation of Qi and blood, or deficiencies in yin or yang. Acupuncture and herbal therapy are used to restore balance by improving circulation to the uterus, regulating hormones, and addressing the root cause of symptoms.
Acupuncture is a gentle yet powerful way to support menstrual health. By working with your body’s natural rhythms, it can help regulate cycles, ease discomfort and promote overall reproductive wellbeing. Treatments are always tailored to your individual constitution and current symptoms, providing support that is both holistic and effective.
