How does acupuncture help?

Acupuncture is a studied and trusted method of regulating the vasomotor system that is associated with difficult symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

Acupuncture activates the nervous system to help:

  • Sedate and control hot flushes associated with difficult thermoregulation.
  • Activate the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress and anxiety
  • Regulate hormone activity via the HPO axis.
  • Encourage the body toward homeostatic control

Common symptoms that often need addressing?

As well as acupuncture, Chinese medicine often offers diet and lifestyle advice to support women with menopausal symptoms including:

  • Hot flushes
  • Night sweats
  • Insomnia
  • Fluid retention
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Body pain
  • Dryness
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

How long will I need to use acupuncture to know if it will help me?

The benefits are generally felt over 3 to 6 months of regular treatment and a course of several sessions is required. 

Acupuncture is more effective when taken regularly and symptom relief is built over time. 

As treatment progresses homeostasis is thought to improve, symptoms are then reassessed and appointments can be stretched further apart.

Chinese medicine for women's health

 In Chinese medicine, a women’s health is intricately related to the health of her ‘Blood’ and ‘Yin” quality. These two aspects relate to gut function, diet, mental-emotional state, and the hormonal systems. 

Our acupuncturist will assess your individual needs by interpreting your body’s own functional nature. They will then assist with recommendations around specific diet, supplement use, acupuncture treatment and other lifestyle factors to address these needs. They also enjoy discussing the theory of Chinese medicine and how you can live closer to the natural flow of nature and the body’s own rhythm to reduce modern lifestyle stressors.
