PCOS & Hormonal Health
PCOS is the most common cause of female infertility — but it doesn't have to stand in your way. Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the root causes naturally, without the side effects of hormonal medications.
Understanding PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age. It disrupts ovulation, elevates androgens, and creates hormonal imbalances that make conception difficult — but it is highly treatable with the right approach.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, PCOS typically involves a pattern of kidney deficiency, liver qi stagnation, and phlegm-dampness accumulation. These patterns disrupt the smooth flow of energy and blood to the reproductive organs — leading to the hormonal irregularities that characterize PCOS.
Rather than masking symptoms, TCM addresses these root patterns — restoring the body's natural hormonal regulation from within.
How It Works
Research — including studies from the University of Gothenburg — has shown acupuncture can meaningfully improve PCOS outcomes.
Stimulates the nervous system to normalize LH/FSH ratios and reduce elevated androgens — restoring the hormonal environment needed for ovulation.
Regular acupuncture has been shown to increase ovulation frequency in women with PCOS — often within 3–6 months of consistent treatment.
Insulin resistance drives many PCOS symptoms. Acupuncture improves cellular response to insulin, reducing its cascade of hormonal effects.
Personalized herbal formulas — including Bai Shao (white peony, shown to reduce androgens) and Dang Gui — complement acupuncture for deeper hormonal regulation.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which worsens PCOS symptoms. Acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system, breaking the stress-hormone cycle.
Janice provides personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations to support insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and optimize hormonal balance.
