Acupuncture for Hot Flushes

Did you know that Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners have been treating women going through menopause for 1000's of years ?

One of the oldest Chinese Medicine texts, the Neijing SuWen talks in depth about the cycles of a woman's life and the many helpful things we can do to support an easeful transition through menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause.

The most talked about menopause symptoms of hot flashes, insomnia, weight gain, brain fog and moodiness all have frameworks of treatment from a TCM perspective.

Along with the less talked about experiences of vaginal dryness, UTI’s pelvic pain & anxiety

The Australasian Menopause Society has this to say about Acupuncture -

“A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials which is being published this month in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS), indicates that acupuncture can affect the severity and frequency of hot flushes for women in natural menopause.” **

Acupuncture treatment also works well with other medications and modalities including HRT to offer a holistic and integrated health care experience.

Feeling heard and seen is such an important piece of the peri/ menopause symptom picture.
