Hormone Health

Chinese medicine has been used for many centuries to treat people at every life stage.

Acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition and massage can all play a role in bringing the body’s hormonal system into balance and optimising the natural cycles of the body.

Gut Health and Hormones

There is strong relationship between gut health and hormone health. Poor gut function can adversely effect hormone balance, which can lead to problems with the menstrual cycle. This can manifest in conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, recurrent candida and UTI infections, menstrual irregularity and PMS. By improving gut health, one can also improve hormone balance and associated conditions.

Detailed functional medicine testing is also available to investigate hormone levels and metabolism, gastrointestinal health and toxin load (mycotoxins and heavy metals). Testing can be done at home. These tests, are not the typical tests ordered by your GP. I can guide you through testing and relevant treatment options once we have the results.
