Traditional Chinese medicine & women’s health

Throughout a woman's lifetime, her body undergoes many cycles, from puberty to menopause, with years of menstruation in between, marking a constant flux in hormones and bodily changes. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can restore balance at every stage of this journey. With its documented positive impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, the intricate system regulating the female reproductive system and hormones, TCM provides effective support for women's health concerns.

TCM has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in addressing a wide range of gynecological conditions, often bringing them under control within three to six menstrual cycles. This holistic approach to women's health promotes harmony and wellness throughout the diverse phases of a woman’s life.

“A friend referred me to Dr. Cindi to help with my heavy periods and painful cramping. She helped me with that and a lot more!

“My periods became shorter, lighter, and less painful. She really got to the root of what’s going on with me. It's like therapy, medicine, and massage, all rolled into one! I would definitely recommend her as a women's health acupuncturist.” –H.L.
