Three Surprising Ways Acupuncture Benefits Women

You have probably heard of the amazing ways that acupuncture improves your overall health. It can be used for many conditions, as well as lifestyle habits such as quitting smoking. But did you know that acupuncture has specific uses in women’s health? Here are three of the many surprising ways that acupuncture benefits women.

Menstruation Issues

The menstrual cycle is connected to many other systems in the body, and overall health of the body has a direct impact that could be one reason for difficult or irregular periods. Acupuncture is also a stress-relief tool, which can help make that time of the month more bearable, especially if you have a lot of mood swings or cramps.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is the abnormal growth of tissues outside the endometrium. Acupuncture can treat endometriosis, as well as fibroids, which are often found together. This is done by stimulating the areas of the body responsible for blood stasis, as well as the uterus. When combined with other treatments, healing is usually improved.

Emotional Wellness

There are a lot of things that can affect your emotional wellness. Depression and anxiety are the two most common conditions that people deal with. However, your emotional wellness is also impacted directly by hormonal changes in the body, which is something many women are dealing with throughout their lives. Having acupuncture once a week regulates neurotransmitters in the brain, which improves mood.
