How Acupuncture Can Help Menopause

Perimenopause is the stage of a life just prior to menopause. It can be characterized by a variety of symptoms, including mild to severe physical, emotional, and psychological changes. Starting as young as ages 30s and 40s, women can begin the transitional process where ovarian function and estrogen levels tend to decline. 

The decline in hormonal function during this transition can lead to irregular and/or shortened menstrual cycles, mood changes, insomnia, weight gain, vaginal dryness, changes in libido, brain fog, hot flashes, and excessive bodily tiredness or fatigue. It can be a frustrating and aggravating stage of life. 

This transitional stage of life leads to menopause, which is simply a continuation of those symptoms instead of any kind of relief. These symptoms may last for another long stretch of time, making you feel even more frustrated and at your wit’s end. 

Acupuncture has been shown in multiple clinical trials to provide significant relief to these perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. By treating the root cause of your condition, our experienced doctors at the Acupuncture & Holistic Health Center can correct the flow of your energy (qi) and your blood, thereby restoring your health into balance and harmony.

Consider adding acupuncture to your journey through this period of your life! While there is no avoiding menopause, there is balancing your qi to avoid the worst of the symptoms and their damage and maintaining your bodily systems at an optimal level for ease of transition. Acupuncture is a great tool and a more holistic option than medication for easing many menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms. 

We would love to walk with you through those changes and help be a support for you.
