Perimenopause
Acupuncture can provide valuable support during perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, by addressing various physical and emotional symptoms associated with this period:
​
-
Managing hot flushes: acupuncture can help reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes by promoting hormonal balance and improving blood circulation.
-
Mood swings: by regulating neurotransmitters and hormones, it can help to ease anxiety, irritability, and depression that often occur during perimenopause.
-
Sleep quality: acupuncture promotes relaxation and can help alleviate insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns, common complaints during this transitional phase.
-
Physical symptoms: by encouraging blood circulation and promoting the body's natural healing processes, acupuncture can alleviate physical symptoms such as headaches, joint pain, and fatigue, contributing to overall well-being.
-
Emotional well-being: the relaxation response triggered by acupuncture helps manage stress and promotes emotional stability, which can be particularly beneficial during this time of change.
