What we Treat for Women’s Health

Acupuncture and other modalities of eastern medicine have been used to treat women’s health for centuries. Research activity in relation to acupuncture and women's health has increased enormously over the last 20 years, with very promising results! A holistic approach to gynecological health offers an alternative to synthetic hormone therapy or simply “dealing with” symptoms on a monthly or daily basis. Acupuncture works by treating imbalances in hormones and blood flow - key elements in achieving optimal gynecological health!
