Menopause — Thriving From Within-Acupuncture for Women's Health — Thriving with Eastern Medicine & Acupuncture

“I am sweating non-stop at night to where I am soaking the sheets!” “I feel this bone-shearing fire and it gets worst after eating sugar.” “My own mother when through 10 years of pure menopause hell with hot flashes, night sweats, and rage-will I experience the same thing!?!”. “Will these hot flashes last forever?”.

These are all of the questions we get in our Acupuncture Consultations with women in the Peri-menopause and Menopause transition. I am here to tell you-No, these symptoms do not need to be extreme and do not have to last forever. Let us dive into what is Menopause, why do some women experience some of these symptoms, and what Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can do to lower them.

Uterine Fibroids, Acupuncture, & Herbal Medicine

We have all heard of Uterine Fibroids and how they can be invasive to our wombs and lives. Most often, uterine fibroids can happen at any point during our reproductive age from menarche (1st bleed) till menopause. It is very common for increase growth of fibroids during the ages of 30 to 40-years old. I am sure some of you have heard of the stories from your mom, grandmother, and aunts, in how they had painful periods, heavy bleeding, felt 5 months pregnant, and most often decided to try birth control, or given a hysterectomy as remedies. Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and Nutrition can help reduce uterine fibroids, improve fertility options, and manage any regrowths of fibroids.

Supporting Peri-menopause, Naturally

Peri-menopause is NOT a disease, or medical condition. It is a natural transition every woman will experience. This is a sacred transition from our reproductive years transitioning into wisdom. This is a time where women need support, nourishment, and creative expression. Yes, many will experience some uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, but there are natural solutions to help ease this transition.
