Menopause

Just as a healthy menstrual cycle is a sign of internal harmony, so does a seamless menopause indicate the beginning of a healthy aging process. If the imbalances that contributed to an irregular menstrual cycle go unaddressed, they eventually lead to the signs and symptoms of an unbalanced menopause. These symptoms include:

• Hot flashes
• Flooding and spotting
• Insomnia
• Irritability

Acupuncture treatment can stop these negative effects of menopause.

These symptoms are NOT inevitable, and do not need to be “tolerated” or “put up with.” Hormonal therapy can actually aggravate some symptoms of menopause by exaggerating existing imbalances. Fortunately, it is never too late to treat these conditions.
