Acupuncture for PCOSUsing acupuncture for PCOS treatment can be an incredibly powerful, natural treatment option. I absolutely believe in the healing power of Chinese Medicine, it has been around for hundreds of years. Most importantly, I have first hand experience with using it and have made incredible strides. Chinese Medicine assess the symptoms you are having and treats the cause of that symptom. It gets to the point of the problem or problems in your body then works to heal it. It's typically a combination of acupuncture and herbs prescribed by an acupuncturist that works to balance your body. You have PCOS and the symptoms because your body is not in balance. Typically, Western Medicine treats the symptoms not the cause of your symptoms. For example, your overweight so your given Metformin to help with weight loss. It's treating the symptom not what is making you overweight. Thus, not curing the problem long term.
I can not mention enough great things about using acupuncture for PCOS it's truly incredible. It's also a treatment option that is too often overlooked because its not the traditional route. Most situations in my life I take the road less traveled, it's always so much more rewarding. I know that without the assistance of acupuncture I would not be the happy, healthy person I am today. However, on my quest to get rid of my PCOS symptoms I realize that acupuncture or a healthy diet alone isn't enough. It's a combination of various approaches that work best and are having long lasting effects. For me using acupuncture for PCOS has also been combined with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management.

An initial visit with an acupuncturist will be sixty to ninety minutes. At that time, he or she will assess your body's current condition, ask you many questions about your health, nutrition, daily routine. This determines the placement of needles. Don't worry about the needles they are so tiny and don't even hurt. You'll be in a very peaceful room on a table probably listening to tranquil music, which is really relaxing for about forty five minutes. This allows the needles to work. It's so relaxing that I often fall asleep.
