Acupuncture for Women’s Health

Supporting hormonal balance, fertility, and cycles in Lewes, East Sussex

Women’s health is complex — affected by hormones, emotions, lifestyle, and life stage. Whether you’re navigating painful periods, fertility challenges, perimenopause, or ongoing fatigue, acupuncture offers a gentle and effective way to support your body through change.

In Chinese medicine, each phase of a woman’s life is seen as a natural rhythm. When that rhythm is disrupted, symptoms arise. Acupuncture works by helping your system return to balance — so you can feel more comfortable, connected, and in control of your health.

A Whole-Person Approach to Hormonal Health

Hormones influence far more than reproductive cycles — they affect sleep, energy, digestion, temperature, mood, and mental clarity.

In Chinese medicine, hormonal shifts are understood through the lens of blood, qi (energy), and the movement of yin and yang. When these become imbalanced — due to stress, illness, overwork, or emotional strain — symptoms may show up as irregular cycles, pain, PMS, anxiety, low libido, or difficulty conceiving.

Acupuncture helps restore flow, support organ systems, and ease the ups and downs that so often come with hormonal change.

How Acupuncture Can Help

Acupuncture supports a range of women’s health concerns by improving circulation, regulating the nervous system, and supporting hormonal communication throughout the body.

Depending on your needs, treatments may help:

  • Regulate the menstrual cycle

  • Reduce pain or PMS

  • Support fertility or IVF

  • Ease perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms

  • Improve mood, sleep, and energy

  • Address PCOS, endometriosis, or other cycle-related conditions

Every treatment is tailored to where you are in your cycle, your life stage, and your unique presentation

Treatment at Any Life Stage

Acupuncture is helpful at every phase of life:

  • Teens and young adults with painful or irregular cycles

  • Women trying to conceive, with or without IVF

  • Postnatal support to rebuild energy and regulate cycles

  • Perimenopause and menopause for hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep issues

  • Later-life care for energy, stability, and emotional wellbeing

Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Your sessions will reflect where you are, what you need, and how your body responds best.

What to Expect from a Session

Sessions begin with a conversation about your cycle, symptoms, and how they’re affecting your life. You’ll have space to speak openly — or just rest quietly.

Treatment itself is gentle. Fine needles are placed in specific points to support blood flow, reduce inflammation, regulate hormones, or calm the mind. You’ll rest for around 25–30 minutes in stillness.

Many women find acupuncture not only relieves symptoms, but brings a sense of reconnection — physically, emotionally, and hormonally.
