Cirencester acupuncture use herbs for Women's health

Chinese herbs have been used for centuries to treat:

• Menopausal symptoms 
• Irregular menstruation 
• Fertility and conception issues 
• Premenstrual tension (PMT) 
• Hormonal imbalances 
• Emotional and physical symptoms of the menstrual cycle 

Modern research in China has shown that certain herbal formulas can positively influence the endocrine system. These herbs may:

• Stimulate natural hormone production
  Enhance the sensitivity or function of hormone receptors 
• Influence how the body metabolizes hormones
  

These herbal formulas often do not contain hormones themselves, yet they can help restore healthy hormonal balance by improving the function of aging or underperforming organs and glands.

Some herbs also have additional benefits, including antioxidant and anti-estrogenic effects, which may support hormone-related conditions and help protect long-term health.
