It’s Not All in Your Head
Hormonal imbalances are among the most common complex medical issues that people deal with in modern society. Sadly, many of these issues have a long history of being dismissed by mainstream medicine. Acupuncture and herbs are so effective at treating many hormonal issues for which Western medicine has limited efficacy precisely because Chinese medicine has a root cause approach to healing. By addressing your underlying imbalances, nudging your body back toward a state of healthy homeostasis, symptoms naturally resolve.
In part, acupuncture works to balance hormones by affecting the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system, which play crucial roles in hormone production and regulation. Acupuncture also promotes the release of endorphins, which can reduce stress and cortisol levels, improving hormone balance.
Perimenopause and Menopause Support Is Near
Too many women experiencing disruptive and uncomfortable symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause have found little support from Western medicine. Your symptoms are real–and at our Oakland acupuncture practice, we take them seriously. Chinese medicine describes drops in estrogen levels as a decline in the yin of the body. Based on your specific symptoms, a personalized treatment plan and customized herbal formulations will be prescribed to support the yin of the body through these times of natural hormone fluctuations.

“Working with Lisa is so comforting as she creates a welcoming environment. She really takes the time to listen and ask great follow up questions. I wasn’t even sure my post-pregnancy, gynecological symptoms were treatable, and I got a lot of relief— so it never hurts to book a session and ask! Highly recommended.”
