Female health

The female reproductive tract is an intricate system that plays a crucial role in the creation of human life. However, it can be affected by various disorders that significantly impact a woman's health. From conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to the transformative phase of menopause, these aspects of women's health are important to understand and address. 

​

This is where naturopathic medicine including acupuncture come into play, offering a comprehensive approach that includes tailored diet recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and the use of herbal remedies. These holistic solutions provide valuable support for managing these conditions, empowering women to navigate their reproductive health challenges with greater comfort and well-being.

Just some of the conditions with which naturopathic medicine can offer support with


Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterised by the growth of tissue similar to the uterine lining outside the uterus, leading to severe pain and fertility issues. Acupuncture can provide relief by reducing inflammation and improving blood flow to the affected areas. Additionally, naturopathic medicine may recommend dietary changes, herbal remedies, and lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and support hormonal balance.


PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder that affects many women during their reproductive years. Acupuncture has shown promise in regulating menstrual cycles, reducing insulin resistance, and alleviating associated symptoms such as acne and hirsutism. Naturopathic approaches often focus on diet, exercise, and supplements to restore hormonal balance and manage weight. 

 

PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) is an infection of the female reproductive organs that can have serious consequences if left untreated. While antibiotics are typically the primary treatment, acupuncture can complement conventional care by reducing pain and inflammation. Naturopathic medicine emphasises immune system support and natural antimicrobial agents to enhance the body's ability to fight infections and promote healing.

​

Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years and comes with its own set of challenges, including hot flashes, mood swings, and bone health concerns. Acupuncture can help manage these symptoms by regulating hormones and improving overall well-being. Naturopathic medicine may recommend hormone-balancing herbs, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments to ease the transition and support long-term health.

Treatments and frequency

The number and frequency of treatments required will depend on the specifics of each individual. I will work with you to understand needs and formulate a specific treatment plan during your first appointment. We will then continue to review and update this over subsequent sessions based on your responses and progress.
