Evidence based acupuncture to support hormonal cycles…
Hot Flush/Flash Relief
Hot flushes or flashes can be debilitating. Acupuncture can reduce or even eliminate your sweats and flushing and minimise the hormonal swings associated with menopause and perimenopause. A 2014 meta analysis concluded that acupuncture improves hot flash frequency and severity, menopause-related symptoms, and quality of life in women experiencing natural menopause.
PCOS
Twenty two studies with 2315 participants were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. It concluded that acupuncture could promote the recovery of menstrual cycles as well as downregulate the levels of LH and testosterone in patients with PCOS.
Period Pain
Medical researchers in Australia and New Zealand have shown that acupuncture treatment significantly reduces period pain intensity, duration and symptoms over time, with improvements being sustained up to a year after treatment.
Primary Dysmenorrhea (period pain) is the most common gynaecological complaint in menstruating women with up to four in five women suffering at some stage during their reproductive years.[i]
The pilot study involved 74 women aged 18-45 years with suspected or confirmed primary dysmenorrhea and no known cause of secondary dysmenorrhea from Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand.
Over half the women receiving manual acupuncture had a least a 50 per cent reduction in their severity of period pain over the three months of treatment.
Dysmenorrhea
This study showed a significant reduction in all the variables such as the visual analog scale score for pain, menstrual cramps, headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, faint, mood changes, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting in the study group compared with those in the control group.
