How to treat Harmone imbalance in acupuncture

Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

Without giving too short of a statement, the same way you approach any set of western conditions/issues in Chinese Medicine - see “treating the cause vs. the symptoms”. Functionally speaking “hormones” are a useless term as far as Chinese Medicine diagnostic procedures go. Now with experience and treating certain people in a certain area with similar cultural/dietary/societal attributes you come to have a few common diagnostic categories in TCM terms that people will generally fall into - but even with that you take each person as a unique individual and use the crucial tooling within Chinese Medicine to approach their issues from the root outwards.
