Hormone health
The whole of TCM is based on the balance between Yin and Yang. These are mutually dependent on each other. If one is in excess, it may appear that the other is depleted. Similarly, hormones are chemical messengers responsible for countless processes in the body. Hormones control your growth, development, reproduction, metabolism, mood, sleep and digestion, etc. Like Yin and Yang, hormones must be in balance to achieve health.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment can help restore and regulate the hormones (endocrine system) and its function by positively influencing the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPO axis). The relationship between these glands and the overall hormones they produce play an important role in a functioning menstrual cycle, fertility and during menopause.
Örtmedicin
Midwives and doctors have used herbs for gynecological health for millennia. Through the mechanism of building blood, circulating stagnation, protecting essences and balancing yin and yang, herbs can be potent medicine for hormone imbalances.
