Acupuncture is an alternative fertility treatment that many women try when hoping to conceive. But the benefits of this ancient traditional therapy extend beyond reproductive health, offering women many physiological and psychological benefits. Women who experience anxiety and chronic pain have turned to acupuncture to rebalance their bodies. Some see acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine strategies as nothing more than pseudoscience. However, the reality is that it’s a proven treatment and offers impressive results for women’s health.

Acupuncture for Women’s Health: Benefits Beyond Fertility

Relief From Pain Without Taking Pills

We all use medication far too frequently, and acupuncture provides an alternative treatment for pain relief that works. Practitioners use acupuncture therapy to treat painful migraines, joint pain, and back pain.

Why risk opioid addiction to painkillers when there’s a natural option proven to deliver results?

Acupuncture works on pressure points on the body to engage the body’s natural pain-suppressing mechanisms. This holistic approach doesn’t mask the pain like painkillers or anti-inflammatories.

Acupuncture treatment plans target the root cause of pain and stimulate blood flow. As a result, the affected area experiences reduced pain and inflammation.

Women who suffer from menstrual pain or endometriosis often experience relief after an acupuncture session. Many experience fewer cramps and discomfort during their menstrual cycle.

Acupuncture for Women’s Health: Restoring Balance to Your Hormonal Profile

When menopause strikes, our hormones shift out of balance. This leads to changes in:

• Psychological state
• Increased moodiness
• Irritability
• A host of adverse mental and physical health disorders

Commonly, doctors prescribe hormone replacement therapy to help women through this challenging time in life. However, HRT for menopausal symptoms comes with its own set of risks.

Acupuncture offers a way to remove the energy blockages in your hormonal system and regulate hormone production. It can improve your health, including reducing stress levels and regulating hormonal imbalances without side effects.

Studies suggest that women going through menopause have improved symptoms. They experience fewer hot flashes and mood swings and have improved well-being.

Improve Your Sleep

When you’re going through menopause, the changes to your hormonal profile make it harder to fall asleep. Many women resort to using dangerous “Z-drugs” like Zolpidem and Ambien to get a good night’s rest.

The reality is that you don’t need these drugs. Studies have shown that acupuncture can improve sleep and reduce the number of times a person wakes at night.

A Healthy Gut

People call the GI tract “the second brain” due to its independent nervous system. Unfortunately, GI distress and gut health disorders like Crohn’s and IBS are becoming more frequent in society. These conditions affect millions of women around the globe.

Instead of undergoing surgery or using drugs to control the problem, turn to acupuncture for relief. The practice acts on the nervous system, which controls the gut. It can relieve the symptoms attributed to these gut health disorders.

Acupuncture Helps the Body Recover Naturally

Before you give up hope and turn to modern medicine to resolve your health issue, give acupuncture a try. You do not need a prescription for acupuncture. Just make sure you book your appointment with a qualified, experienced practitioner.

You’ll experience tremendous relief after just one session. Completing a course of treatment over six to 12 sessions could completely transform your life.
