HOW IT WORKS
Can Acupuncture Help With Menopause Symptoms?
Acupuncture helps balance hormones, support the adrenals, and calm the nervous system—offering natural, lasting relief from common menopause symptoms.
Supports Hormone Regulation
Acupuncture stimulates key glands to help regulate estrogen and progesterone levels, easing the hormonal fluctuations that trigger hot flashes, mood swings, and other symptoms.
Hormone Balance Support
Acupuncture calms the autonomic nervous system and internal thermostat. It reduces the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and night sweats, bringing greater comfort.
Better Sleep and Restfulness
Menopausal insomnia is common and frustrating. Acupuncture helps relax the nervous system, reduce cortisol spikes, and ease anxiety—making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Relieves Mood and Irritability
Fluctuating hormones affect mood, making you more reactive or emotional. Acupuncture supports neurotransmitter balance, helping you feel calmer and emotionally resilient.
Boosts Energy & Reduces Fatigue
Menopausal fatigue can be relentless. Acupuncture enhances circulation, supports adrenal function, and helps replenish energy naturally—without stimulants or side effects.
Improves Brain Fog & Focus
Acupuncture gently boosts blood flow to the brain and balances hormones that affect cognitive function, significantly improving focus, memory, and mental sharpness.
