Peri-Menopause and Menopause: What to Expect
The transitional years leading up to menopause (peri-menopause) and menopause itself can bring a wide range of physical and emotional changes. Every woman’s experience is unique, and symptoms often appear in combination rather than alone. Common experiences include:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety
- Sleep disturbances and fatigue
- Irregular periods, vaginal dryness, or reduced libido
- Memory lapses or difficulty concentrating
- Muscle or joint aches
- Weight changes or bloating
- Thinning hair or changes in skin
How Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Can Help
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine provide a gentle, holistic approach to supporting women through these transitions. Treatments can help:
- Reduce hot flushes and night sweats
- Improve sleep and energy levels
- Support emotional well-being and mood
- Ease muscle and joint discomfort
Herbal medicine formulas, prescribed by our qualified acupuncturist, complements acupuncture by supporting hormone balance and overall well-being. Together, these therapies aim to make peri-menopause and menopause more comfortable, helping you feel balanced, supported, and in control.
