Menopause is a profound hormonal transition, and Chinese Medicine offers a highly personalised approach to managing its symptoms. Rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, our treatment is tailored to your specific menopausal pattern, whether that's predominantly Heat, Yin deficiency, or a more complex picture.
Research supports acupuncture for menopausal symptom management. A 2019 study in BMJ Open found that acupuncture significantly reduced hot flushes, excessive sweating, sleep disturbances, and emotional symptoms after a 5-week course of treatment, with benefits persisting at 6-month follow-up.
Symptoms we commonly treat include: hot flushes and night sweats, insomnia and disturbed sleep, mood changes, anxiety and irritability, fatigue and brain fog, vaginal dryness, and joint pain and stiffness.
Treatment combines acupuncture with Chinese herbal medicine (where appropriate), nutritional guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. We work alongside your GP and gynaecologist and can help you make an informed decision about your broader menopause management options.
