How our services can help with Women’s Health:
Functional Testing:
Acupuncture
Acupuncture successfully assists the modern woman through all stages of her hormonal and gynaecological life cycle. From menarche to menopause, puberty to pregnancy and everything in between, the aim of Acupuncture is to bring your body back into (hormonal) balance.
Acupuncture has been used to support women of all ages through a variety of hormonal and gynaecological imbalances including period and ovulation problems, PMS, endometriosis, PCOS. Acupuncture focuses on specific areas that support hormonal health and fertility by using 3000 years old principles of energy and blood movement. Acupuncture promotes circulation and blood flow (to the uterus), modulates pain, and balances hormones to reduce common hormonal issues experienced by so many women today.
As we know, stress and anxiety compound many of the hormonal issues that underpin womens health conditions, and Acupuncture has also been shown to calm the mind and support our happy hormones.
Our expert Acupuncturists have over 30 years combined experience and are incredible educators who will work with you and teach you to better understand your body and hormonal health. We will tailor a treatment plan specifically for you, based on your symptom presentation and where you are at in your hormonal health.
Hormonal Testing
Our naturopaths are thoroughly versed in standard blood test interpretation. Please bring any blood tests from the last 6 months with you to your initial consultation.
Where necessary, we will refer you for more in depth functional medicine testing including DUTCH Plus (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Thyroid Check), Extensive Thyroid Hormones, MTHFR & homocysteine.
Naturopathy
Naturopathy successfully assists the modern woman through all stages of her hormonal and gynaecological life cycle. From menarche to menopause, puberty to pregnancy and everything in between, the aim of Naturopathy is to bring your body back into (hormonal) balance.
Rather than simply masking the symptoms (cough, splutter, mumble, like the pill), our Naturopaths work to correct the underlying root cause of your specific hormonal or gynaecological imbalance.
The principles of naturopathic medicine are to gently encourage the body’s innate ability to heal itself and facilitate this by supporting detoxification pathways, digestive, nervous and immune health and restoring hormonal balance.
Our Naturopaths will work with you to individualise a treatment plan to match you and your needs. Specific herbs, nutrients, homeopathics & lifestyle recommendations help to regulate your cycle, reduce hormonal symptoms, improve oestrogen & progesterone metabolism, and encourage ovulation to ultimately balance your hormones, for an effortless, painless & regular menstrual cycle.
