Acupuncture for menopause is a healthcare treatment widely practised across the UK and the world to gently and effectively address the physical, emotional and mental symptoms of menopause.
Menopause is a natural phase of life, not a disease, that should be almost unnoticeable when the body is in balance. When the body is not in balance, symptoms can include hot flushes, weight gain, night sweats, aching joints, changes in libido and low mood. This fundamental change in the functioning of the body can cause a whole array of other problems that can feel unpredictable and out of control.
Many women prefer not to take artificial hormones and opt for a more natural route instead, supporting their body through this transitional phase with acupuncture for menopause, good nutrition and stress management techniques.
Acupuncture for menopause can help alleviate your symptoms and underlying problems by:
- Balancing the release of various female hormones and neurotransmitters such as follicle stimulating hormone, luteotrophic hormone and serotonin
- Relieving muscle tension and pain
- Rebalancing heat and the flow of Qi which can be altered by the fluctuations in hormone levels
