• Perimenopause and menopause (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings)
• Hormonal acne, low libido, fatigue, and sleep issues
How Acupuncture Supports Women’s Health
Acupuncture works by regulating the endocrine system (your hormones), improving circulation to the reproductive organs, and calming the nervous system — especially important when stress or emotional burnout is part of the picture.
It’s also a powerful ally in regulating the menstrual cycle, easing inflammation, and supporting mood and energy naturally.
What the Research Says
• A 2022 review in Reproductive Biomedicine Online found that acupuncture significantly improved menstrual regularity and ovulation in women with PCOS.
• For PMS, a meta-analysis in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research (2019) found that acupuncture reduced pain, mood symptoms, and breast tenderness significantly compared to placebo.
• A study published in BMJ Open (2018) showed that acupuncture reduced the frequency and severity of hot flashes and night sweats in women going through menopause.
• Acupuncture has also been shown to enhance blood flow to the uterus, regulate FSH and LH hormone levels, and promote implantation in women undergoing IVF.
