Stop Suffering Every Month

Just because it’s common to suffer with menstrual concerns doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it.

We support female-bodied clients of all ages to relieve PMS symptoms and menstrual issues.

Relieving PMS

If you or your child struggle with PMS symptoms such as:

  • Mood changes, depression, and/or irritability;

  • Breast/chest tenderness;

  • Cramping;

  • Headaches;

  • Fatigue and insomnia;

  • Food cravings; and/or

  • Digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting

…then acupuncture and herbal medicine can help.

We use acupuncture to balance hormones, improve circulation, decrease stress and anxiety, reduce inflammation, improve movement through the digestive tract, and increase energy.

We provide herbal medicine, if you’re interested, to further support reduction of symptoms on a daily and monthly basis. The herbal medicines we prescribe are well studied, effective, and safe.

We also work with you to determine what in your life might be making your PMS symptoms worse and support you in making appropriate changes. If needed, we have a fabulous network of practitioners we can refer to for additional help with nutrition, therapy, bodywork, and more.

Addressing Menstrual Issues

Many of the people we work with have no idea that there are tools for managing excess menstrual bleeding, large clots, erratic cycles, and significant cramping during the period.

Acupuncture can:

  • Contain excess menstrual bleeding;

  • Regulate cycle timing;

  • Decrease cramping; and

  • Decrease clotting of menstrual bleeds.

We often recommend using Chinese herbal medicine to amplify the effects of the acupuncture. Specific herbal formulas taken at certain times of your cycle can decrease excess bleeding, regulate hormonal fluctuations that impact cycle timing, decrease stress (which affects the production of sex hormones), and reduce inflammation.

Furthermore, if you’re struggling with conditions that affect how you experience your cycle such as endometriosis or PCOS, we would be delighted to support you.
