Why Choose Meditree

Meditree combines acupuncture, physiotherapy, Chinese herbal medicine and rehabilitation care under one East Auckland clinic. Your care plan is tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle and recovery goals, with clear guidance at every stage.

Menstrual and pelvic symptoms

Painful, heavy, irregular or changing periods can have different causes. A symptom history may be useful, but acupuncture or herbal medicine should not be used to assume a diagnosis or to delay examination, blood tests, cervical screening or imaging when these are indicated.

We can discuss symptom tracking and supportive care after considering the severity, duration and any existing diagnosis. New, severe or unexplained pelvic symptoms should be medically assessed.

Fertility support

People may seek acupuncture while trying to conceive naturally or during fertility treatment. Evidence and individual response vary, and acupuncture cannot guarantee conception, implantation or a live birth.

Where used, care is adjunctive and should be coordinated with your fertility clinic or medical team. We do not advise stopping prescribed medicines or changing a fertility protocol.

Pregnancy and postnatal care

Pregnancy changes which treatments and points may be appropriate. Tell us if you are pregnant, may be pregnant or are breastfeeding before any treatment or herbal recommendation.

Acupuncture may be considered for selected musculoskeletal or wellbeing concerns after screening. It does not replace antenatal appointments, midwifery care or urgent maternity assessment.

Perimenopause and menopause

Hot flushes, sleep disruption, mood changes, vaginal or urinary symptoms and changing bleeding patterns deserve an individual discussion. Medical options, including menopausal hormone therapy or non-hormonal treatment, can be reviewed with a GP.

Meditree may provide supportive care for associated tension, sleep or general wellbeing, but we do not claim to normalise hormone levels or replace evidence-based medical treatment.

Seek prompt medical care if you notice

  • Heavy bleeding with faintness, shortness of breath, severe weakness or rapidly soaking pads
  • Sudden or severe pelvic or abdominal pain, especially with fainting, fever or possible pregnancy
  • Bleeding during pregnancy, reduced fetal movement, severe headache, vision changes or another urgent maternity concern
  • Bleeding after menopause, a new breast change or any symptom your GP or midwife has asked you to have checked promptly

If symptoms may be an emergency, call 111. For urgent advice in New Zealand, contact Healthline on 0800 611 116.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can acupuncture guarantee fertility success?

No. Fertility outcomes depend on many factors, and acupuncture cannot guarantee pregnancy or live birth. It may be chosen as adjunctive support alongside appropriate fertility assessment and treatment.

Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

It may be appropriate for some people when provided by a suitably qualified practitioner after screening. Pregnancy must be disclosed, and acupuncture does not replace midwifery, obstetric or emergency care.

Can you treat menopause symptoms?

We may offer supportive care for selected concerns, but we do not claim to correct hormones or replace medical options. New bleeding after menopause requires medical assessment.

Can I take Chinese herbs with fertility or hormone medicines?

Do not combine them without a specific safety review. Potential interactions, pregnancy and treatment protocols need to be considered with the prescribing clinician or fertility team.
