Can Acupuncture Help with Menopause?
Through the gentle stimulation of specific points on the body, Acupuncture helps regulate the flow of energy, or ‘Qi’, which may help with menopause symptoms, ease mood swings and bring balance to the body. Acupuncture is a gentle but powerful approach for this life stage.
The ‘Wise Woman’ Phase
Menopause is often celebrated as the ‘wise woman’ phase—a time when you can fully embrace the energy, freedom, and wisdom that come with no longer having menstrual cycles. You may find yourself with more consistent energy levels, less pelvic discomfort, and a rejuvenated outlook on life.
As your hormone levels stabilise after menopause, many symptoms begin to fade, leaving you feeling more vibrant than ever before. This phase is not an ending, it’s more a beginning. A time to step into your power and enjoy the many gifts this life stage has to offer.
