Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that affects millions of women worldwide. While the exact causes aren’t fully known, it’s often linked to an imbalance in reproductive hormones.

Did you know there are four main types of PCOS?

🌿 Insulin-Resistant PCOS – the most common type (around 70%), often linked to hormonal acne, irregular cycles, and excess hair growth.
🌿 Inflammatory PCOS – associated with IBS, fatigue, headaches, joint pain, skin conditions, and food sensitivities.
🌿 Adrenal PCOS – also called stress-induced PCOS, caused by excess adrenaline. Symptoms may include weight gain, hair loss, acne, excess hair growth, and changes in menstrual cycles (either absent, irregular, or heavier periods).
🌿 Post-Pill PCOS – occurs after stopping hormonal birth control. The ovaries can take time to resume normal function, leading to temporary symptoms such as irregular cycles, acne, and excess hair growth.

Here's how acupuncture may help manage PCOS symptoms:
✨ Regulates hormones & menstrual cycles
✨ Improves insulin sensitivity
✨ Reduces stress
✨ Promotes ovulation
✨ Boosts blood flow to the ovaries & uterus

Let’s give a shoutout to folate-rich foods that can help support fertility! 💚⁠

Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 and shows up in all kinds of delicious foods. If you’re trying to conceive, adding more folate-rich options to your meals can be a game-changer since folate helps boost progesterone levels, which may increase the chances of conception.⁠

Some of our favorite folate-packed picks? Avocados, leafy greens, beets, and eggs. 🥑🥬🍳⁠

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long recognized the unique needs of women’s health, using herbs to restore balance and harmony in the body.⁠

Here are five herbs we often used to support reproductive wellness:⁠

🌿 Gui Zhi (Cinnamon): Supports fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis⁠
🌿 Hong Hua (Safflower): Eases PMS, amenorrhea, post-partum recovery⁠
🌿 Yi Mu Cao (Motherwort): Helps with irregular periods, PMS, and calms the spirit⁠
🌿Dang Gui (Chinese Angelia): Promotes hormonal balance, regulates periods, eases menopausal symptoms, nourishes uterine lining⁠
🌿 Bai Shao (White Peony Root): Nourishes for endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease⁠ (PID)⁠

🌸 Every body is unique so please consult a qualified TCM practitioner to find what’s right for you.⁠

According to TCM, when going through menopause your body experiences deficiencies in your Kidney Yin and Yang, as well as the Liver which causes phlegm and Qi stagnation (meaning energy isn’t flowing throughout the body), and blood stasis. ⁠

The combination of these deficiencies leads to many uncomfortable symptoms, such as insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, frequent urination, mood swings, headaches and body aches, as well as poor memory or fogginess. Additional symptoms include digestive upset, fullness/bloating, and breast distension.⁠

In TCM, the body is considered in constant flux as the body balances yin and yang. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese herbal medicine can help to bring the body back into a balanced state - balancing yin/yang, working to preserve essence, and assisting with symptom management.⁠

Clinical studies have shown a decrease in the severity and total overall number of hot flashes experienced, as well as a decrease in sleep and mood disturbances, with regular acupuncture treatments.⁠

Additionally, the use of herbal medicine may help provide support for menopausal symptoms, with certain individual herbs and herbal formulas indicated for tonifying yin and yang, nourishing dryness, calming the mind, and reducing the heat symptoms behind hot flashes and night sweating.⁠

Our Story

It was over 18 years ago that Ellice and Jasmine started the journey down the path of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. A team that worked well from the beginning able to support and compliment each others strengths and weaknesses, sharing the same priorities, passions and work ethic. The two embarked on Co-Founding Acutoronto in 2004. Beginning from the absolute basics they gradually grew their team to incorporate 7 just as creative, passionate professionals all helping to create the warm compassionate care that Acutoronto strives to provide.

Ellice and Jasmine both share a passion in women’s health, fertility, labour and post-partum. Starting from the early years fertility became a central focus of their practice as the challenges met by individuals and couples faced with infertility were both heart breaking and devastating. Their goal became to empower and educate women as they maneuver through their fertility journey. Enabling them to make educated decisions about their own health and fertility.

Their goal is to ensure that every decision made, is made with open eyes, an open heart and trust that with the right care every goal can be achieved.
