Acupuncture is extremely effective in relieving the symptoms of hormone imbalace.
Balance your hormones naturally and effectively with our holistic approach.
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs balance hormones by regulating the endocrine system including the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which plays a central role in hormone regulation. By stimulating specific points related to hormonal balance, acupuncture can help regulate the production and release of hormones, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones.

Insomnia, Anxiety, Fatigue, Brain Fog, Weight Gain, Depression, Thinning Hair, Acne
These symptoms can be caused by conditions such as:
