Acupuncture Optimal Health For Women

Women have many hormonal fluctuations in their bodies from puberty, through their fertile years, and again during menopause. Acupuncture and TCM can restore and balance the female reproductive system at all stages of life.

Acupuncture beneficially effects the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, the control center for all hormonal activity. It helps regulate our hormones, promote ovulation and keep our cycles regular. TCM enhances the effect of acupuncture by restoring the delicate balance to the endocrine system and internal organs.

Dr. Rakela helps women achieve optimal health and well-being with acupuncture and TCM.
