Bloating, cramps, food cravings, brain fog, mood swings. Acuhealth can help with more than just a temporary fix for PMS as it will help to address the root cause. Up to 85% of women will get at least one symptom of PMS leading up to their period. While others have to deal with an array of symptoms, including acne breakouts, fatigue, headaches, breast tenderness, and depression.

Your symptoms may vary from mild to experiencing significant upset in your daily activities. The higher severity of symptoms are often diagnosed with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, or PMDD, a severe form of PMS that causes extreme and sudden mood shifts that can disrupt relationships and work.

Acupuncture has been shown in multiple studies to be highly effective in treating both PMS and PMDD symptoms.

High levels of stress can adversely affect PMS symptoms. Fortunately, acupuncture has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, helping to minimise the body’s innate response to chronic or acute stress.

At Acuhealth, we view PMS as being influenced by imbalances in the body, diet, and lifestyle. Our treatment plans work not only to relieve the symptoms you are experiencing but also to address their root cause.
