How does Acupuncture support women’s health?

Acupuncture may be used as an adjunct/ supportive therapy in women’s health, with the aim of promoting overall wellbeing and assisting in the management of a range of symptoms. Within a holistic framework, treatment is individualised and may help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce period pain, and support women experiencing symptoms associated with hormonal changes such as those occurring during menopause. Some women also seek acupuncture as an adjunct to medical care for fertility support or during pregnancy, where appropriate. While evidence varies across conditions, acupuncture can be beneficial to support a wide range of women’s health conditions and may contribute to improved quality of life.
