HORMONE CARE & AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS

Hormones are chemical messengers in the body that control growth, development, reproduction, metabolism, mood, sleep and digestion. Factors like stress, poor diet, overwork, excessive exercise, and prescription medicines can trigger the body to produce too much or too little of a certain hormone. Hormonal imbalances can occur in ALL sexes, at any age, and can manifest as moodiness, weight gain, digestive problems, acne, menstrual irregularities, infertility, headaches, insomnia, breast pain, anxiety, food cravings, loss of libido, and more. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have proven especially effective in the safe and natural treatment of all types of hormonal imbalances. For example, studies have shown application of the combination of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture proved as effective as hormone therapy in the treatment of menopause-related symptoms.

Autoimmune diseases are a collective group of disorders that plague nearly 50 million people in the United States today. When a person suffers from an autoimmune disease it means their own immune system is attacking the body and altering or destroying the tissues. Studies show that acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine cause positive physiological changes in the nervous system, immune system, circulation, and reduce inflammation—all of which have positive health effects for patients suffering from an autoimmune disorders.

  • "Joe is a caring professional who loves to help others through acupuncture. I have had 5 treatments with Joe in the last two months, during which he's helped stabilize my menstrual cycle and helped diminish discomfort and pain related to a very old injury. About three weeks ago, I broke my big toe. After just one session with Joe, the pain had significantly decreased and as had the bruising and swelling. My toe is still healing, and I am grateful to Joe for his help. In addition to acupuncture, Joe has used cupping, moxa, and has prescribed Chinese herbal formulas. All three modalities have worked wonders." -Aria M
