Women’s Health
A healthy female constitution requires a delicate balance of various systems in the body. At Grow Wellness Acupuncture, we are trained especially in addressing this balance through the use of acupuncture and herbal medicine. We can help address the hormonal imbalances, reproductive disharmonies and metabolic changes that can happen at any point in a woman’s life – through our compassionate and individualized care. Some common women’s health concerns we address, include:
Menstrual Concerns
PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome)
We offer effective relief for common pre-menstrual symptoms such as mood changes, appetite changes, bowel changes, bloating, energy changes and breast pain. Many PMS symptoms are easily corrected with TCM.
Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea)
We can address primary or secondary dysmenorrhea by significantly reducing pelvic cramping associated with your cycle for good.
Absence of Periods (Amenorrhea)
By increasing blood flow to the reproductive area, acupuncture can help to re-start ceased menstruation, or a cycle that never started in adolescent girls.
Heavy Periods (Menorrhagia)
Often accompanied by painful periods, excessively heavy, clotted or irregular bleeding (flooding & trickling) can be regulated with acupuncture and herbs.
Gynecological Disorders
Endometriosis
Helping to reduce painful menstruation and heavy bleeding associated with endometriosis, we can also help prevent recurrence in patients post laparoscopy.
Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
By balancing the hormonal dysfunction associated with PCOS, we can address the symptoms of irregular periods, weight gain, depression, acne, and infertility.
Uterine Fibroids
Acupuncture increases circulation in the pelvic area to move out stagnated material within these benign tumors (especially in fibroids < 5cm large)

We have wonderful external herbal formulas and other treatments to clear up chronic vaginal yeast infections naturally and alleviate chronic vaginal dryness, itching or outbreaks.
