Ready? Here it goes!
Acupuncture regulates hormones by stimulating the nervous system to modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis.
What does that mean?
This helps balance cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and androgen levels. It improves conditions like PCOS, menopause symptoms, and menstrual irregularities by boosting endorphins, lowering stress, and enhancing blood flow to reproductive organs.
