Easing Menopause with Acupuncture!

Naturally, menopause normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 56. During this time a variety of symptoms may be experienced, which cause varying amounts of distress. The most common of these are hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness, insomnia, anxiety, depression, fatigue, aches and pains, headache, palpitations, genital and urinary problems. However, each woman is different and each experience of menopause varies.

Acupuncture has been shown through clinical trial and different client presentations to be effective when treating the side effects associated with menopause. One strength of Acupuncture in comparison to Western Medical approaches when treating menopause is that each treatment is individually tailored to the client and the symptoms they are presenting with on that day.

Some documented benefits for Menopausal women are:

1. Eases Hot Flashes

2. Soothes Menopause-Related Insomnia

3. Regulates Mood Imbalances

4. Reduces Night Sweats

5. Improves Fatigue

6. Improves Circulation + Spider/Varicose Veins

7. Soothes General Muscle Aches

8. Relief of Depression

Acupuncture is targeted to boost the Yin energy in order to help restore the Yin-Yang balance. If you think of the Yin energy as the cooling force that soothes the hot-running Yang, that may help you see the difference in the two and understand why the lowered levels of Yin energy may cause things like hot flashes and mood swings

After your treatment:

After an acupuncture treatment, most individuals report that they rest incredibly well that night and are deeply relaxed. While some women have results immediately after they complete their treatment, in general results are noticed between two to three days after the treatment has been finished. More than one acupuncture session is likely to be required before your symptoms improve significantly, although your overall well-being and contentment may increase even sooner than that.

Acupuncture can help your body to regain balance and restore the essential flow of energy through your body, and has many benefits beyond regulating roller-coaster hormone levels. This timeless treatment promotes natural healing and provides a gentle and natural movement from peri-menopause through menopause.
