One of oriental medicine’s greatest gifts to modern day is its ability to treat hormonal and woman’s health issues. If you are a woman with any sort of level of imbalance, you are clear about the extent to which the body and mind are an interwoven fabric.  Some imbalances are minor and mood can shift for a day or two in relationship to the monthly cycle. Some are more severe with or without mood issues and seem to carry on for many cycles or even a lifetime. Pain and discharges are clear indications that some  processes have lost inherent balance. All of the symptoms of menopause are another specialty of Oriental Medical treatment. Whether it be symptoms of heat, bleeding, insomnia, exhaustion or even more uncomfortable symptoms, we are here to help.  None of it is pleasant and all of it points to feeling quite ill when it is out of balance. Women’s health is one of the oldest branches of Oriental Medicine. It has exquisitely beautiful and respectful theories and protocols which honor and support women through the life cycles and all of the related changes.

Acupuncture, herbs, oils and diet can have tremendous ability to shift things back to a normal balance. For young woman, having regular acupuncture greatly reduces problems later and is highly recommended during the teenage years. Oriental Medicine has an unmatched track record with fertility. Many babies have been born due in part to treatments at Hidden Well Acupuncture over the past 11 years. Almost any sort of cyclical issues including lack of bleeding, painful periods, heavy bleeding, and mood swings that can accompany any of these issues may be treated successfully with Oriental medicine. Treating these imbalances can make you feel so much better in body and mind and can have a marked impact on your entire life.
