Acupuncture has been used for women's health for over 2000 years with excellent results. Unlike western medicine, Traditional Chinese medicine recognizes that menopause is a natural transitional period in a woman’s life, and aims to treat each individual’s specific symptoms through acupuncture, herbs, diet, and lifestyle changes. Since every woman is unique, every treatment is personalized.
Acupuncture is based on the assumption that energy (Qi) flows through channels in the body just as streams and rivers ebb and flow across the surface of the Earth.
Menopause need not be a dark time of violent mood swings, insomnia, hot flashes, and decreased intimacy. Instead, menopause can mark the beginning of the most passionate, creatively inspired, and professionally productive period of a woman’s life. Through acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), women are finding that menopause can be a time of revolutionary growth and vibrant energy.

TCM and Menopause
As a major branch of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), gynecology has played an important roll in women’s health for over two thousand years. The Huandi Neijing (Canon of Medicine) published in 50-300 B.C. is the earliest extant medical book in China that describes acupuncture. It also describes gynecological terms such as infertility, miscarriage, ante partum care, labor, and delivery. It provides methods for diagnosing pregnancy and treating a variety of women’s diseases, including menopause.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy is still considered the standard treatment for menopause, despite its many drawbacks. While it reduces hot flashes and prevents osteoporosis, it also increases the risk of breast, ovarian, and uterine cancer, and has a number of significant side effects. Acupuncture, on the other hand, offers a gentle yet effective way to alleviate menopause and related conditions. Most importantly, it is completely natural and therefore safer on the body.
Since acupuncture uses no toxic chemicals, it is very safe and effective way for menopausal women to defeat their uncomfortable symptoms. Millions of menopausal women have maintained their health with Chinese herbs for countless generations in China and Asia. We use many effective herbal remedies in conjunction with the acupuncture treatment. These remedies are safe, inexpensive, and effective in treating all symptoms of menopause.
