Acupuncture and TCM can help alleviate common menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, sleep irregularities, fatigue, and mood changes!
For women in menopause, acupuncture can help make this natural time of transition much more comfortable. By reducing hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and other symptoms, acupuncture treatments focus on restoring restfulness and correcting underlying imbalances in the body.
