Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine for PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal imbalances among women of reproductive age. Irregular periods, acne, mood swings, weight fluctuation, and fertility challenges can make it feel like your body is out of sync. At our acupuncture clinic, we approach PCOS from the inside out—using the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine alongside modern self-care support to restore hormonal balance and overall wellness.
🌀 The Chinese Medicine View of PCOS
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), PCOS is not treated as a single condition, but rather a pattern of disharmonies. These imbalances can show up as:
Kidney Deficiency – Low reproductive energy, hormone imbalance
Liver Qi Stagnation – Stress, irregular cycles, emotional tension
Dampness & Phlegm – Cyst formation, weight gain, sluggish digestion
Cold in the Uterus – Poor circulation, painful or absent periods
Instead of focusing on symptoms alone, Chinese medicine seeks to treat the root—bringing your body back into a state of natural flow and vitality.
✨ How Acupuncture Helps PCOS
Acupuncture is a powerful therapy for hormonal regulation, especially when cycles feel unpredictable or absent. Regular treatments can help:
✔️ Regulate ovulation and menstruation
✔️ Improve ovarian function and blood flow
✔️ Reduce systemic inflammation
✔️ Support insulin sensitivity
✔️ Calm stress and balance cortisol
✔️ Alleviate PMS, mood swings, and fatigue
🌿 Herbal + Nutritional Support for PCOS
In addition to acupuncture, Gena, our licensed acupuncturist, recommends a personalized blend of Chinese herbs and key nutritional supplements to support hormonal health, inflammation reduction, and metabolic balance.
Here are some of her go-to essentials for PCOS support:
🌸 Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan
A classic Chinese herbal formula that helps break up stagnation, reduce ovarian cysts, and promote healthy blood flow to the uterus. Often used for irregular cycles, clotting, or painful menstruation.
🧬 Ther-Biotic® Complete Probiotic
A broad-spectrum probiotic that supports gut health and reduces systemic inflammation—crucial since gut imbalance often contributes to hormone dysregulation and insulin resistance in PCOS.
🐟 OmegaGenics® EPA-DHA 720 Fish Oil
High-potency omega-3s help regulate menstrual cycles, support egg quality, and reduce inflammation. Also known to aid in mood regulation and metabolic health.
🌞 Liquid Vitamin D3 with K2
Vitamin D deficiency is common in PCOS. This liquid form improves absorption and supports ovarian function, mood, and insulin sensitivity, while K2 ensures proper calcium utilization in the body.
💜 Triple Magnesium Complex
Magnesium is critical for hormonal balance, stress response, and insulin sensitivity. This trio of magnesium types supports better sleep, improved mood, and smoother cycles.
🌕 Lifestyle, Diet, and Emotional Care
In Chinese medicine, emotions are closely tied to the body’s organ systems. Supporting the Liver (emotionally and physically) is key in PCOS care. Gena may also offer guidance on:
Eating warm, nourishing foods to strengthen digestion and prevent dampness
Avoiding dairy, sugar, and processed carbs when damp or phlegm is present
Moving your body gently—think walking, Qi Gong, or yoga
Taking tech breaks and practicing mindfulness or journaling
Supporting sleep cycles and calming the nervous system
