Women’s Hormonal Health Resources
Your hormones play a huge role in how you feel — physically, mentally, and emotionally. When they’re out of balance, it can impact everything from your energy and mood to your cycle, sleep, skin, and digestion. This page brings together some of our favourite Chinese Medicine–inspired resources to support smoother cycles, gentler periods, calmer nervous systems, and more connected body awareness. These tools are simple, grounding, and easy to use at home alongside your Acupuncture and herbal treatment plan.
Castor Oil Packs for Endometriosis, Period Pain & Adhesions
Castor oil has been used for generations for its deeply nourishing and circulation-boosting qualities. When applied externally as a warm compress, castor oil packs can support pelvic blood flow, ease inflammation, and soften areas of tension or adhesions. They can be particularly helpful for those experiencing Endometriosis, clotty periods, pelvic congestion, or pain that feels stuck or heavy. While not a cure, many people find regular castor oil packs bring relief, improve comfort across the cycle, and help their body feel more at ease.
Calming Grounding Moxa
Moxa (moxibustion) is one of our favourite tools for stressed, depleted, cold or exhausted bodies. Known for its warming, nourishing and deeply grounding nature, moxa helps strengthen Qi, soothe the nervous system, and bring warmth to the lower abdomen and womb space. A short moxa ritual before bed or when your stress levels spike can create an instant sense of calm — think of it as a pocket of zen you can return to anytime. We’ll teach you exactly how to do it safely at home so you feel confident and supported.
Paper BBT Charting
Tracking your Basal Body Temperature (BBT) is a powerful way to understand your hormones, ovulation patterns, and cycle phases. Paper charting makes this process simple, visual and surprisingly intuitive. By watching your temperature shifts over time, you can learn when you’re ovulating, whether your luteal phase is strong enough, and how stress, sleep or illness may be affecting your cycle. These charts are a beautiful companion to your fertility or hormonal health journey, giving you clarity and helping us tailor your care.
