“A holistic treatment that comes up time and again when you talk to PCOS-sufferers about what works, according to acupuncturist Eloise Coulson it can help reduce excess androgens, down-regulate the serum level of testosterone, and modulate the sympathetic nervous system as well as increasing blood flow to the ovaries.”

About acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the most popular complementary treatments in the UK, it is derived from Chinese medicine and has been in existence over 2000 years.
During acupuncture treatment, very fine, single-use, sterile needles are inserted at certain points in the body for preventative or therapeutic purposes. The focus of treatment is on the individual and takes a holistic approach to symptoms, signs and also the emotions. Acupuncture can be used as a stand-alone therapy or can be given alongside other Western medicine treatments.
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective Qi (life force or energy) flows through the body along pathways called meridians. When you are in good health, the Qi flows freely. When the Qi is interrupted or slowed, illness or pain can occur. Acupuncture looks to address these imbalances by unblocking, balancing and stimulating the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
From a Western medical perspective acupuncture stimulates sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles. This causes the body to produce natural substances such as pain relieving endorphins. These endorphins have similar characteristics to painkillers that can affect systems in our bodies such as immunity, digestion and hormones. Acupuncture can decrease inflammation, ease muscle pain and boost the immune system by increasing the T-cell count.
About Gua Sha
Gua sha (pronounced "gwa-shah") is an ancient technique that has been used in China for over 2,000 years. It is used to promote healing, stimulate circulation and blood flow, relieve musculoskeletal pain, release tension and reduce inflammation. We use a small, smooth-edged tool to firmly stroke your skin, lubricated with oil, to help chi flowing again.
About Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture involves using tiny electrodes attached to pairs of acupuncture needles to run an electrical current through the body. This circuit of electricity activates the sympathetic nerve fibres and increases circulation thus improving blood flow that is essential for reducing inflammation and kickstarting recovery. Electroacupuncture can be useful when treating conditions such as neurological disease, chronic and acute pain, arthritis and spasms.
