Menopause is a natural part of aging and is not considered pathological. However, it doesn’t have to be a miserable process.
Perimenopause is a transitional phase leading up to menopause, marked by hormonal fluctuations that can bring about various physical and emotional changes. While this natural process is a part of every woman's life, the symptoms associated with perimenopause can sometimes be challenging.
Hot Flushes/Night Sweats
Brain Fog
Irritability
Weight Gain
Mood Swings
Insomnia
Vaginal Dryness
Loss of Bone Density
Cholesterol Issues
Headaches
Acupuncture and TCM Herbal Remedies are very effective at supporting a woman through the transformation into menopause and sedating the associated symptoms. Studies have shown that benefits can be significant after a series of just three treatments, and a series of 8 treatments can provide dramatic relief of menopausal symptoms for up to 6 months.
How Can Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Help?
Hormonal Balance:
Acupuncture has been recognized for its ability to regulate hormonal imbalances. By targeting specific points related to reproductive organs and the endocrine system, acupuncture aims to restore harmony, easing symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and irregular periods.
Alleviating Hot Flashes:
Many women experience bothersome hot flashes during perimenopause. Acupuncture may provide relief by influencing the body's thermoregulatory mechanisms, helping to reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes.
Mood Support:
Acupuncture's impact on neurotransmitters and the nervous system can contribute to emotional well-being. It is often sought after for addressing mood swings, anxiety, and stress associated with perimenopause.
Improving Sleep:
Sleep disturbances are common during perimenopause. Acupuncture sessions can promote relaxation and regulate the sleep-wake cycle, fostering better sleep quality and overall restfulness.
Reducing Inflammation:
An Increase in inflammation and adipose tissue is common for women going through menopause. Adipose tissue, in return, creates more inflammation and can seem like a viscous cycle that causes immense distress. Acupuncture is proven to reduce inflammation in the body, and can help women feel less inflamed as they transition into menopause.
