PMS & Menstrual Balance

Acupuncture Supports Women’s Hormones Naturally in Bondi Junction

Hormonal imbalance affects women at every stage of life — from puberty and fertility to perimenopause and beyond. Fatigue, mood swings, irregular cycles, acne, hot flushes, and weight fluctuations can all point to deeper hormonal issues.

At our Bondi Junction acupuncture clinic, we support women’s hormonal health naturally using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Whether you’re dealing with period pain, PCOS, or menopause symptoms, acupuncture can gently restore balance and regulate your body’s rhythms.

What Causes Hormonal Imbalance?

In TCM, hormones are regulated by the Kidney, Liver, and Spleen systems, which govern energy, blood flow, and emotional processing. When these organs are out of balance — often due to stress, overwork, or poor digestion — symptoms arise.

Common signs of hormonal imbalance include:

  • Irregular or painful periods
  • PMS or PMDD
  • Acne and skin breakouts
  • Mood swings and irritability
  • Fertility challenges
  • Menopausal symptoms (hot flushes, night sweats, dryness, anxiety)

How Acupuncture Helps Regulate Hormones

Acupuncture works by restoring the free flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood, which helps the body self-regulate and find its natural hormonal rhythm. At our clinic, we tailor your treatment based on your specific constitution and stage of life.

Benefits of acupuncture for hormonal balance may include:

  • Regulate hormone production: Acupuncture might stimulate the endocrine system, promoting the production and release of essential hormones.
  • Reduce stress hormones: Stress can disrupt hormonal balance. Acupuncture’s relaxing effects can help lower cortisol levels, promoting hormonal harmony.
  • Improve blood flow: Acupuncture may enhance blood circulation to the reproductive organs, potentially improving their function.

Acupuncture for Women’s Hormonal Issues

  • Women Without Periods: Acupuncture can help regulate the menstrual cycle by addressing underlying imbalances and stimulating proper hormone production.
  • Irregular Cycles: Acupuncture can help regulate ovulation and improve hormonal balance, leading to more consistent cycles.
  • Painful Periods: Acupuncture is able to reduce menstrual cramps and associated discomfort by promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation.
  • PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): Studies suggest acupuncture can improve insulin sensitivity and regulate androgen levels, potentially contributing to improved PCOS symptoms.[4]
  • Menopausal Symptoms: Acupuncture can be a helpful tool for managing hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings,and sleep disturbances associated with menopause.[5]

Acupuncture for Men’s Hormonal Issues

  • Low Sperm Count: Acupuncture may improve sperm quality and motility by potentially increasing testosterone levels and blood flow to the testes.
  • Low Sex Drive: Acupuncture can help address stress and emotional factors that can contribute to low libido. By promoting relaxation and well-being, acupuncture may improve sexual desire. [7]
  • Erectile Dysfunction: Acupuncture improves blood flow, hormones and anxiety related to performance.

Hormonal imbalances can affect Individuals in a variety of ways. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that offers a natural approach to restore hormonal balance and promoting overall well-being.
