How
can Chinese Medicine treat hormonal imbalances?
Many
hormonal problems are due to slight imbalances
in the delicate endocrine system, which may
alter a pathway by which the body produces and
metabolizes hormones. The slightest irregularity
or stressor can throw the entire system off
so it no longer functions properly causing a
cascade of symptoms for women. Research has
shown that acupuncture influences these hormonal
pathways, and assists our own internal energies
to restore endocrine function.
Acupuncture can assist in correcting and fine
tuning the complex interplay of hormonal signals
of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis,
crucial to creating healthy hormonal responses.
