Endometriosis
Acupuncture and Natural Medicine for Endometriosis & Menstrual Pain
How It Works..
We address the root cause. Digestion, sleep and emotions are paramount. During the
initial consultation we listen to your story, and create a treatment plan.
We use an all-natural approach your physician doesn’t know about. Your physician may have told you that surgery or oral contraception are the ONLY answers or that you simply have to live with your endometriosis symptoms. BUT, that doesn’t mean there’s no other options- it just means your doctor has run out of ideas or there aren’t conventional treatments available.
We find that people who don’t respond well to conventional treatment often respond very well to acupuncture in combination with our herbal teas.
We help you awaken your body’s natural healing system. Your body is not “broken” and it IS possible to take control of your hormones and resolve endometriosis naturally. Our therapies help it do just that- making the “impossible”, possible.

Some Sage Wisdom…
It is suggested to avoid cold and raw foods prior and during your period. Meaning salads,
smoothies, raw fruits, and cold drinks.
Also to avoid sex during menstruation as this can lead to dysmenorrhea, and congealed lumps in the pelvis. Avoid strong and vigorous exercise during menstruation to prevent the menstruate from diverting from it’s path and escaping elsewhere.
Maintain regular sleeping hours, avoid spicy foods and try to be happy, as sad and angry emotions can divert and obstruct qi flow.

Common Questions
How long will it take to stop the pain?
Every case is different but we can confidently say that 85% of our patients report decreased pain, or no pain within the first week of treatment. While with others it may take a few weeks – we are ready for the challenge. Long term, permanent resolution of endometriosis symptoms generally takes 5-9 months, at which point you do not need more treatment, and you can move on with a better, happier version of yourself.
Why haven’t I ever heard acupuncture helps endometriosis?
Although Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a 3000+ year old medicine it is relatively new in the States. The scientific model of Western Medicine is about 200 years old. The two modalities are very different approaches to treating the human body and you will find Acupuncture and TCM to be a very enlightening process. Chinese Medicine is an empowering humanistic approach that helps you to understand how to take care of your body, and prevent sickness throughout your life.
Will I have to come in long term?
The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way, as long as the patient commits to the lifestyle changes they used during treatment. During your consultation we can tell you the general length of your unique treatment plan. After you have reached your health goals we taper the treatment until you graduate and discontinue our work together. However, many of our patients continue to use our clinic as their homebase for medical care, as we also treat every health concern, we are well rounded in that way.
How often do I need to be treated?
Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits.
Can acupuncture REALLY help my endometriosis?
Absolutely. Your hormonal system – and your body as a whole – is capable of healing itself, especially when it has the nutritional support and specialized natural therapies we offer to help it get back on track. Together we figure out what caused your body to have the disharmony in the first place, and work from there. We help change women’s lives every day – it’s the best!
What is a treatment like?
The initial treatment is a 90 minute session where the practitioner intakes a patient’s history and vitals, counsels on treatment strategies, explains acupuncture and Chinese Medicine theory to you, and includes tongue and pulse diagnosis. Please wear loose fitting clothing so that the acupuncturist can place the needles on arm and leg points as needed. Once an acupuncture needle has been inserted, patients lie comfortable for about 30 minutes. The extent of the pain a patient might feel from a needle is similar to the pinch of an insect bite, if they feel pain at all. Patients often express that acupuncture is quite pleasurable and relaxing.
How can I be treated if I don’t live in Arizona?
Glad you asked! The only missing component compared to an in person treatment is the needles themselves. Needling is only a small part of our process. Over video, you will receive counseling on diet, lifestyle, nutritional supplements, tongue diagnosis, acupressure techniques, and meditations. Medicinal herbs are prescribed, and mailed directly to you. Our pure and medicinal herbs are the most powerful part of endometriosis treatment.
