About this condition
Common PCOS patterns in TCM: phlegm-damp obstruction + kidney deficiency + blood stasis.
Treatment focuses on clearing dampness and phlegm, tonifying kidney yang, and invigorating blood circulation, complemented by acupuncture to regulate the HPO endocrine axis.
Clinical research has shown that systematic TCM care can:
- Reduce insulin resistance
- Improve lipid metabolism
- Increase ovulation and pregnancy rates
— without the side effects often associated with conventional hormonal therapy.
Recommended treatments
- Acupuncture: regulates the HPO axis
- Chinese Herbal Medicine: pattern-matched (Cang Fu Dao Tan Tang, Er Chen Tang, Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan)
- Moxibustion: for kidney yang deficiency presentations
- Lifestyle guidance (low-GI eating, consistent movement)
Recommended plan & pricing
- Women's Health Package $160 / 60 min
- 1–2 sessions/week for 3–6 months
Lifestyle Companion Recommendations:
- Low-GI eating (cut refined sugar and high-carb)
- 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week
- Quality sleep (HPA axis hinges on it)
- Emotional regulation — TCM views liver qi stagnation as a hidden driver of PCOS
One Patient's Experience With PCOS
Ms. S, age 42
Ms. S had been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, with long-standing irregular periods, weight gain, and increased body hair, and she hoped to regulate her cycle and prepare for pregnancy. She received acupuncture and Chinese herbal care at our clinic.
After about six months her periods had become more regular, her weight had stopped increasing, and her overall condition had improved. After about six more months her cycle had settled at about 40 days, and she later became pregnant.
