Hormone & Cycle Health

ANCIENT WISDOM
For more than 3,000 years, Chinese Medicine has been relied on to heal the root cause of imbalance on every level, from physical ailments to mental-emotional dis-ease.
Acupuncture involves inserting thin, stainless steel sterile needles into specific acupuncture points along the body’s meridians. Stimulating these pathways at precise depths encourages the circulation of blood and qi, or life’s vital energy, to certain areas, organs and tissues. This ancient technique down-regulates the nervous system, reduces pain and inflammation, enhances immune response, promotes circulation and relaxes the body.
Herbs are powerful medicine using curative properties of plants and minerals to not just palliate, but to heal internal imbalance at the root. This medicine is highly personalized to each individual.

Inspired by nature, some mechanisms include invigorating, clearing stagnations, regulating temperatures, clearing toxins, settling the nerves, to name just a few.
