Women’s Health
Fertility Enhancement
Traditional Eastern Medicine has enhanced fertility for thousands of years. Because acupuncture and Eastern herbal medicine can strongly influence the reproductive and endocrine systems, it can help address a wide variety of women’s health concerns that may hinder fertility. At Sun Wellness Acupuncture, we use a combination of acupuncture, Eastern medicinal herbs, and diet therapy to improve fertility by promoting a healthier and more responsive uterus and ovaries. By incorporating all aspects of Eastern medicine, we help women strengthen and rebalance their bodies to foster and maintain healthy pregnancies. Acupuncture is able to increase the chances of pregnancy through natural conception, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), and other Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) because it has been clinically shown to regulate and stabilize hormone levels, help produce more follicles, increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, thicken the endometrial lining, reduce the chance of miscarriage, strengthen the immune system and promote overall health of the body.
Menopause Syndromes
Acupuncture relieves the most common symptoms of menopause primarily by regulating the enormous changes in hormone levels that women experience during menopause. This leads to a significant decline in hot flashes and an increase in energy, appetite and sense of well-being without the harsh side-effects of hormone replacement therapy. Eastern medicine is able to relieve the following symptoms: irregular menstruation, hot flashes and night sweat, sleep disturbance and fatigue, depression and anxiety, decrease in body circulation and cardio-pulmonary functions, aches and pains.
PMS
PMS is due to unbalanced hormonal fluctuations. A mixture of correct diet, adequate exercise, and emotional clarity, along with acupuncture and Eastern medicinal herbs can correct imbalances and bring long-term relief. Eastern medicine offers even more tools to address premenstrual syndrome. Acupuncture removes energy blockages and in turn stabilizes hormonal fluctuations. It also provides deep relaxation that helps to calm the mind. Eastern herbs work together with acupuncture to regulate the flow of energy and substances in the body. Together they stimulate the body’s natural functions and encourage it to establish optimum balance.
