The Comprehensive Treatment Plan for Menopause
Since 2002, our team of licensed acupuncturists and herbalists has helped women navigate the physical and emotional changes of perimenopause and menopause. After a thorough intake and evaluation, we design a personalized treatment plan that may include:
- Acupuncture to balance hormones, reduce stress, and improve sleep
- Herbal medicine to address both symptoms and the underlying causes of imbalance
- Lifestyle recommendations to optimize nutrition, movement, and overall well-being
Herbal Medicine for Perimenopause & Menopause
Herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to help women transition through menopause naturally. While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a common option, herbs offer a safe, effective alternative or complementary approach.
- Herbs help regulate hormone fluctuations, easing symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, and irritability
- They support metabolism and adrenal health, helping combat weight gain and fatigue
- Unlike synthetic medications, herbal remedies work with your body’s natural rhythms for long-term relief
Modern lifestyles—stressful work schedules, poor diets, and high levels of stress—can exacerbate menopause symptoms. Working with a trained herbalist ensures that you receive the right blend of herbs tailored to your needs rather than relying on generic over-the-counter supplements.
Acupuncture for Menopause: A Natural Hormone Balancer
Acupuncture is an evidence-based practice that helps restore balance to the endocrine system and relieve menopause symptoms without medication. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, we can:
- Regulate body temperature to reduce hot flashes and night sweats
- Improve sleep quality by calming the nervous system and balancing hormones
- Relieve mood swings and anxiety by increasing serotonin and endorphin levels
- Boost energy levels and combat fatigue by improving circulation and reducing stress
- Support cognitive function to enhance mental clarity and focus
Unlike conventional treatments that only target symptoms, acupuncture helps restore harmony within the body, making it a long-term solution for menopausal health.
