Acupuncture and Gynaecology
Acupuncture treats your reproductive system as part of your whole energy (qi) system. This system consists of ‘organs' that generate energy and ‘channels' that distribute the energy around the body. This system supports your reproductive system. How well your reproductive system functions may reflect your overall health. If, for instance, your periods cause discomfort or distress, this may mean that your energy system is out of balance or run down.
Acupuncture may be effective in addressing underlying problems and thus help to regulate your menstrual cycle. The following conditions may respond to acupuncture:
