Acupuncture for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
At Alchemy Acupuncture Studio in Auchenflower, Brisbane, we understand that PCOS is a complex hormonal condition that affects ovulation, metabolism, and menstrual regularity. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, symptoms such as irregular or absent periods, acne, weight changes, and difficulty conceiving are viewed as signs of underlying imbalance that requires personalised and holistic care.
We take an integrative approach to supporting PCOS by assessing your unique symptom pattern and tailoring treatment to your needs. This may include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations to promote hormonal balance, support ovulation, and improve overall metabolic health.
How Acupuncture Supports PCOS
Encouraging Regular Ovulation
Acupuncture supports communication between the brain and ovaries, helping promote more consistent ovulation and encouraging healthy menstrual cycles.
Improving Insulin Sensitivity
By supporting metabolic balance, acupuncture can assist in stabilising blood‑sugar levels, which plays a key role in managing PCOS‑related symptoms.
Balancing Hormones
Acupuncture helps regulate hormone production, which may reduce symptoms such as acne, irregular cycles, and ovulatory dysfunction.
Calming the Nervous System
By reducing stress hormones, acupuncture supports overall hormonal balance, emotional wellbeing, and long‑term cycle health.
