Hormonal Imbalances
Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a holistic approach to addressing hormonal imbalances by harmonising the endocrine system, improving circulation, and restoring overall balance to the body. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and diet/lifestyle recommendations, TCM supports conditions like thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, adrenal fatigue, and menstrual irregularities, promoting optimal hormonal health and wellbeing.
Thyroid dysfunction
Thyroid dysfunction, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, affects the body's metabolism, energy levels, hormonal balance and ovulation, often requiring targeted support to restore equilibrium.
Autoimmune disorders
Autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's and Graves' disease occur when the immune system attacks the thyroid, leading to hormonal imbalances and disruptions in overall health. Conditions such as lupus, celiac disease, or rheumatoid arthritis may interfere with conception or pregnancy.
Adrenal imbalance (adrenal fatigue)
Adrenal imbalance, often called adrenal fatigue, results from chronic stress and cortisol dysregulation, leading to symptoms like fatigue, low energy, weight gain, salt/sugar cravings and disrupted sleep.
Oestrogen dominance
Oestrogen dominance occurs when oestrogen levels are too high relative to progesterone, potentially causing heavy periods, irregular periods, mood swings, bloating, weight gain, headaches, fatigue, fibroids and other symptoms.
Progesterone deficiency
Progesterone deficiency impacts hormonal balance and fertility, playing a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is a hormonal disorder causing irregular periods, ovarian cysts, and symptoms like acne and hair growth, often linked to insulin resistance.
Testosterone imbalance in women
Testosterone imbalance in women, often marked by elevated levels, can result in issues like acne, excessive hair growth, and hormonal disruptions.
Menstrual irregularities
Menstrual irregularities, including irregular cycles and heavy or missed periods, often stem from underlying hormonal imbalances or conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues.
Insulin resistance & hormonal imbalance
Insulin resistance disrupts blood sugar regulation and is commonly linked to hormonal conditions like PCOS and metabolic syndrome, requiring comprehensive care.
MTHFR and methylation
MTHFR and methylation issues can affect hormonal balance by disrupting the body’s ability to metabolise and regulate hormones effectively. Impaired methylation can lead to challenges like poor oestrogen detoxification, progesterone imbalances, and thyroid dysfunction, contributing to conditions like oestrogen dominance and fertility concerns.
