Menopause is the permanent cessation of menses and marks the end of the reproductive years. Although menopause is an event common to all women, each woman’s menopausal experience is unique. Acupuncture and herbal medicine alleviate the symptoms of menopause by nourishing the essence within the body.
At Irvine Acupuncture we use acupuncture and herbs to address hot flashes, irritability, night sweats and other menopausal symptoms. The principle of acupuncture is to strengthen and harmonize the individual’s body, physically and emotionally. Acupuncture treatment regulates unstable hormone levels during menopause.
While Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may alleviate hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis, they will also increase the risk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer, and have a number of significant side-effects. But HRT isn’t the only solution. Acupuncture can be very effective for treating menopausal symptoms.
Since the early seventies, studies have suggested that acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are effective treatments for hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, vaginal dryness and many other symptoms associated with menopause.
