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.
If you’re dealing with menstrual issues, fertility concerns, or hormonal changes and want a natural, personalised approach, acupuncture may help. You’re welcome to book a free 20-minute consultation to learn more.
