Hormonal imbalances occur in both sexes, can occur at any age, and are always accompanied by unpleasant problems such as lack of energy, reduced libido, infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings. Acupuncture is an ancient technique of Chinese medicine that more and more people are turning to for relief from various illnesses and maladies. While its applications are many, acupuncture has proven especially effective in the safe and natural treatment of all types of hormonal imbalances.

For women in particular, balancing hormones is important for menstrual cycle regulation, peri-menopause, menopause, post-menopausal, or fertility related issues. Acupuncture is a natural method of restoring balance to the hormones. Acupuncture has none of the side-effects or toxicity found with Western medicinal approaches. For example, the synthetic hormones used for menopause in women are believed to result in the elevated risk of stroke, heart attacks, and certain types of cancer. Some individuals simply cannot take the medication prescribed for their hormonal imbalances. Acupuncture, on the other hand, is extremely safe, and some researchers report that it is more effective that Western hormone replacement therapies.

“As a lifelong user of traditional medicine, I consider Chantal to be one of the most technically knowledgeable, intuitively gifted, and just plain-old effective healers I have ever worked with. I have had astounding success working with her on a wide variety of issues, including musculo-skeletal, emotional, and reproductive health. I think Chantal can tackle just about anything, but if you are a woman seeking any kind of reproductive support, I especially encourage you to make her the TCM practitioner you choose to spend your time with. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me Chantal!

What to expect

Any type of symptom is a sign of imbalance. It takes many years for our bodies to get out of balance and therefore, some time to find its way back to harmony. Regular acupuncture treatments along with dietary supplements and herbal medicine can greatly benefit the way you feel. 

Fertility

Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system, according to several studies and medical research. Among many other benefits, acupuncture can provide better blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, creating a stronger chance for an egg to be nourished and carried to term.
