According to Chinese medicine, menopause occurs because the body is preserving your energy and increasing your longevity.

Acupuncture can be used alone or as a compliment to Western medicines, like Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). HRT is controversial because of concerns about its link to certain forms of cancer. Furthermore, not all women are good candidates for HRT. For women who are unable to use HRTs, or for those who simply prefer alternative medicine, acupuncture is a drug-free, safe form of treatment. To compliment your acupuncture treatment plan, your acupuncturist may recommend other therapies and activities. In particular, diet can impact hot flashes and mood swings, so it is important to lessen or avoid certain foods and habits, like:
- Dairy
- Red meat
- Alcohol
- Sugar
- Spicy foods
- Caffeine
- Tobacco products
