Acupuncture and herbal medicine can alleviate many menopausal symptoms by stimulating endocrine systems to rebalance hormone production and reduce a wide variety of menopausal disorders. Recent studies have shown that acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat women with menopause, especially breast cancer survivors (University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing researchers).

Conventionally, Western medicine has used hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as the primary treatment for menopausal symptoms. However, not all women can tolerate HRT, and some experience many distressing effects. The Journal of the American Medical Association showed that HRT might increase the risk of heart disease, breast cancer, stroke and blood clots, which prompts many women to seek complementary solutions. Acupuncture and herbal medicine offer an alternative – a more successful approach toward dealing with menopause, one that frees blocked circulation while balancing energy, blood flow, yin (body fluids) and hormones.

According to Chinese medicine, to reverse the signs of menopause and aging, it is important to build kidney energy (renal and adrenal function). Acupuncture stimulates the flow of intrinsic energy in the body, enhancing blood circulation in the kidneys. Herbal medicines restore kidney energy and gently correct underling deficiencies. These increases in performance and kidney function support both the endocrine system and the immune system, helping them work harmoniously to control and eliminate the symptoms of menopause. Additionally, an increase in kidney energy will enhance moisture production, replenish tissue throughout the body, and improve beauty, vitality and youthfulness.
