Hormonal Health
Hormonal imbalances may contribute to symptoms such as:
- PMS or painful cycles
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
- Fatigue and low energy
- Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability
- Hormonal acne or skin changes

Fertility Support
Chinese medicine and naturopathic medicine have a long tradition of supporting fertility in both women and men. Care may be helpful for those preparing to conceive, actively trying naturally, or undergoing assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF or IUI.
Acupuncture and integrative care may help support fertility by:
- Promoting healthy ovulation
- Regulating menstrual cycles
- Enhancing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
- Supporting follicle development
- Improving uterine lining quality
- Reducing stress and supporting hormonal signaling
- Optimizing egg and sperm quality
Acupuncture & IVF Support
Research suggests acupuncture may improve fertility outcomes, particularly when used consistently before and during IVF cycles. The best outcomes are often seen when acupuncture is started several months prior to treatment and continued throughout the IVF process.
Acupuncture may be especially beneficial for:
- Women over age 35
- Individuals with prior unsuccessful IVF cycles
- Those with lower predicted success rates
- Patients experiencing stress during fertility treatment
Acupuncture can also help manage side effects and provide support throughout each stage of the IVF process.

- PCOS
- Endometriosis
