Welcome! I created this blog post so that all the information I recommend to my human patients may be found in one area, and also to save on printing out several copies.🌎 Many of these suggestions have a youtube video created to help explain more. Please note that many of these recommendations are also used for my animal patients, therefore the videos may include info for them as well.
As everyone's symptoms and diagnosis is different, please do what resonates with you. Most of the supplements, herbs etc may be found on Amazon or Vitacost. com or other natural food stores. I do not receive compensation for recommending these products.
The Four Paws Acupuncture Youtube channel has over 400 videos about holistic remedies, nutrition, therapies and a tad of wooie wooie for animals & people. Free to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@fourpawsacupuncture
PLEASE NOTE - If you wish to schedule an acupuncture session with me, call the Danvers Office 978-777-1888. PLEASE Do NOT schedule online as it will not allow me enough time to give you a full session. Thank you! jeanie

For everyone! Easy 10 minutes to start your day.
Women GYN / Fertility
Endometriosis, Fibroids, Menses issues, Fertility: All GYN issues are best treated with acupuncture combined with herbs, a change in diet and lifestyle.
Herbs are needed to help balance the hormones, regulate the period, build the blood, Qi, yin and yang for a healthy happy uterus! You cannot get the same nutrients and results just with food! These herbal formulas have been used for thousands of years and they work. They must be taken regularly to work.
Avoid all chicken, beef, eggs and meat that contains hormones and antibiotics- esp chicken. Hormones are pumped into farm animals to make them plumper for market, and then enter your body when consumed. These will impact your menstrual cycle and fertility. Eat only free range, organic no-hormones meat, eggs, dairy.
Keep a written record on a calendar or journal each day with your cycle. Record: Spotting, Color of Blood, Heavy or Light flow, Clots, Pain level, Cramps, Bloating, Cravings and any other related factors.
Pumpkin seeds help balance hormones and regulate cycles and have other benefits.
HOT FLASHES! Foods that make them worse:Hot spicy foods, alcohol! (Life is short -it is ok to indulge sometimes, just know you will burst into flames later that night!)
Foods that help hot flashes: Cooling foods, mint teas and mint in salads, aloe vera juice, watermelon, cucumber, fruits, fish, seafood, tofu, soy, edamame
