Menopause: Acupuncture Helps You Find Balance

 
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, menopause is also called "the Second Spring".
The child-bearing years are viewed as the first "spring" when women are obligated to care for family, children, and their community.  During their "Second Spring", women devote time to their OWN needs!  They nurture their own personal growth and creativity, and are revered for their life experience and age. Sounds nice, doesn't it?!
 
Menopause is a natural progression and a sign of health dictated by the body.  It is a time of transformation where women can experience increased energy and approach their lives from new viewpoints.  It can also be a time of imbalance including, hot flushes, poor sleep and digestion, and a feeling "unlike oneself". 
 
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine celebrate the natural stages of our lives and offer much to smooth out transitions.  An acupuncture treatment plan can help by relieving stress, reducing hot flashes, improving sleep and digestion, and most importantly, helping you feel like yourself again!
