Unpleasant, disruptive or painful symptoms related to your cycle?
In acupuncture medicine, the menstrual cycle is seen as a sensitive indicator of reproductive health.
Clinical experience as well as experimental research indicates that acupuncture can improve menstrual health.
Although we don’t know exactly how acupuncture works, research indicates that acupuncture may have a regulatory effect on the endocrine system, uterine and ovarian blood flow, and help your body go from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest.¹”
