How can acupuncture at Yin Space support you?
Through the gentle, painless placement of needles across specific points on the body, acupuncture is an ancient practise of medicine that can address an array of health concerns. These needles influence and regulate the flow of energy (known as Qi, pronounced chee), which helps to promote the release of endorphins, reduce inflammation, calm stress and ultimately rebalance the body for optimal health.
Regulates the nervous system
Acupuncture works to restore balance and soothe the nervous system by targeting specific points that affect the autonomic nervous system. This helps reduce stress hormones, boost parasympathetic activity, and foster a deep sense of relaxation and mental calm.
Reduces pain
Acupuncture offers targeted support for pain related to hormonal fluctuations and menstrual health. It can reduce the intensity and frequency of period pain, tension headaches, and pelvic discomfort by regulating the nervous system, enhancing blood flow, and modulating inflammatory responses.
Balances hormones
From the hormonal fluctuations many women experience during menopause to the imbalances that occur around ovulation, as seen in PMDD or the days leading up to menstruation, as experienced with PMS, acupuncture can help restore balance and ease emotional instability.
Helps with gynaecological conditions
Acupuncture can also support women experiencing a range of gynaecological conditions. By improving circulation, regulating hormones, and reducing inflammation, it can help ease symptoms associated with conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, and irregular or painful periods.
Regulates the menstrual cycle
By supporting the body’s natural rhythms, acupuncture can promote a healthy and balanced menstrual cycle. It helps regulate hormonal fluctuations, improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, and ease symptoms such as cramping, mood changes, and irregular cycles.
Supports fertility
Acupuncture can play a supportive role in fertility by enhancing blood flow to the reproductive organs, regulating hormones, and reducing stress. It can help optimise the menstrual cycle and improve overall reproductive health, supporting natural conception as well as enhancing outcomes for those undergoing assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF and IUI.
