Hormonal imbalances can cause symptoms such as adrenal fatigue, acne, anxiety, depression, fatigue, hot flushes, insomnia, irregular periods, infertility, low libido and weight gain. Chinese medicine can help bring your hormones back into balance.
Stress, being constantly on the go, poor diet and lifestyle choices can create hormonal chaos within our bodies. When there is stress it can lead to chemical changes within our bodies and affect digestion, immune and reproductive health. The endocrine glands and their functioning impact every area of your health, controlling your physical growth, mood, hormone output, reproduction, mental functionality, digestion and immune health. Many hormones are dependent on one another to remain balanced. Making time to care , for yourself is essential in restoring harmony.
Treatments provide the space for you to slow down, reflect and reconnect to your body. Acupuncture can help to relax the sympathetic nervous system and activate the parasympathetic, helping to bring down hormone levels and improve your overall health.

How It Works
Chinese Medicine views the processes of the body as an energy system. Health and wellbeing rely on the smooth and dynamic flow of Qi (energy) through the body through a series of meridians/channels beneath the skin. Treatment aims to restore the smooth flow of Qi correcting imbalances such as deficiencies, stagnations, and excesses. It improves bodily functions and promotes the natural self-healing abilities of your body.
