Women’s Health

The practice of acupuncture and oriental medicine can help overcome current health issues women's bodies deal with by rebalancing the body's immune system, hormones, and blood flow. According to Chinese medical practitioners, Qi or energy, is conducted between the surface of the body and internal organs along pathways called meridians. It is Qi that regulates spiritual, emotional, mental and physical balance. When the flow of Qi is disrupted through poor health habits or other circumstances, disease can result. Acupuncture helps keep the flow of this energy unblocked, during different phases of a women's life cycle where complex interactions that exist between sex hormones, physiological changes, and emotional issues arise.
