Welcome to Dr. Margo’s unique blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine; your natural and effective tools to treat the root cause of female health imbalances and get back to a balanced state of health.
While Eastern medicine does not view hormones the same way Western medicine does, these systems of natural medicine can profoundly help to regulate menstruation, balance hormones, treat the root causes fibroids, cysts and other disorders of the female reproductive system.
Did you know that according to the US Department of Health and Human Services over 90% of women experience PMS symptoms. 90%! That is almost all of us!
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda can help with:
- Irregular periods, late and early periods
- Menstrual cramps
- Mood swings and emotional changes
- Bloating and digestive changes
- Back pain
- Breast tenderness
- Headaches
- Heavy or scanty periods
- Acne and unwanted excess hair growth
- Female reproductive conditions, such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and associated comorbidities
Herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle changes can also help to regulate the menstrual cycle, especially combined with acupuncture. Finding the right combination of herbs and other changes is essential since every woman is unique and solving menstrual cycle dysregulation does not typically respond to a “one size fits all” approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is holistic support for gynecological health?
Holistic support addresses irregular bleeding, fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and PCOS by looking at the whole person—body, mind, and lifestyle—rather than focusing solely on symptoms. We often use nutrition, targeted herbs/supplements, stress-management, acupuncture or acupressure and lifestyle coaching to promote hormonal balance, reduce inflammation, and support healthy reproductive function.
2. Who can benefit from this support?
Any woman experiencing:
-
Irregular bleeding (heavy, light, or unpredictable cycles)
-
Uterine fibroids
-
Ovarian cysts (functional or complex)
-
Endometriosis
-
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, managing chronic symptoms, or seeking to prevent recurrence, a holistic plan can complement medical care and improve overall well-being.
3. Which specific symptoms and underlying factors can holistic approaches address?
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Inflammation
-
Insulin resistance
-
Stress and cortisol dysregulation
-
Nutrient deficiencies
-
Poor circulation
By targeting these root contributors, we aim to reduce symptom severity (e.g., pain, bleeding, acne, fatigue) and improve cycle regularity.
4. What evidence supports these holistic methods?
-
Peer-reviewed studies on:
-
Anti-inflammatory diets reducing fibroid size and pain (Journal of Nutrition & Metabolism, 2019).
-
Myo-inositol improving ovulation in PCOS (Gynecological Endocrinology, 2020).
-
Curcumin’s role in downregulating endometrial lesion growth (Reproductive Sciences, 2021).
-
-
Functional medicine protocols: Emphasis on blood panels (hormones, nutrients, inflammatory markers) to create customized plans.
-
Traditional healing wisdom: Herbal traditions (Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine) inform and are integrated into our unique approach
5. When can I expect to feel improvements?
-
Immediate to 4 weeks: Less pain, better digestion, stabilized blood sugar, and reduced bloating or mood swings.
-
4–12 weeks: Noticeable reductions in pain, lighter/more regular bleeding, and fewer ovarian-cyst–related cramps.
-
3–6 months: Potential shrinkage or stabilization of fibroids/endometrial lesions (depending on size and lifestyle adherence), more consistent ovulation (PCOS), and overall enhanced energy.
Keep in mind individual responses vary.Consistency with diet, herbs, stress-management, and follow-up appointments is key.
6. Do I need a formal diagnosis to start?
No medical diagnosis is required. If you suspect fibroids, cysts, or endometriosis, we can still begin by:
-
-
Reviewing symptoms and patterns (cycle charts, pain scales).
-
Recommending appropriate labs/imaging (if not already done) in collaboration with your provider.
-
Designing a provisional holistic plan while awaiting diagnostic confirmation.
-
7. Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes! We offer: One-on-one video consultations (via secure telehealth platforms) for initial assessments and ongoing check-ins.
