Acupuncture for Menopause
Acupuncture for Menopause: Overview and Benefits
Acupuncture is increasingly recognised as a natural, non-hormonal option to help manage menopause symptoms. Menopause is a natural transition in a woman's life, marked by hormonal fluctuations that can lead to physical and emotional challenges such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Acupuncture, a component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), may help restore balance and alleviate these symptoms.
Hormonal Regulation:
Acupuncture stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which may help regulate hormone levels and reduce symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances.
Improves Blood Flow:
Promotes better circulation, especially to the pelvic area, which can enhance overall well-being.
Reduces Stress and Anxiety:
Balances the nervous system and lowers cortisol levels, helping with mood swings, anxiety, and irritability.
Manages Hot Flashes and Night Sweats:
Stabilizes body temperature by regulating the body's thermoregulatory system.
Improves Sleep Quality:
Addresses insomnia and restlessness by promoting relaxation and balancing energy flow.
