Coping With Menopause
According to Chinese Medical theory, menopause occurs when a woman's body begins to preserve blood
and energy in order to sustain her vitality and allow for the maximum
available nourishment for her body, especially her kidneys. Thus, in the
Chinese Medicine, menopause is seen as true change in life from mother to
enlightened and wise being. Acupuncture and herbs can alleviate many
menopausal symptoms by rebalancing the hormonal system, especially headaches
and migraines, hot flushing, heavy flooding periods, back pain and sagging
skin tone The mental and emotional symptoms that you are experiencing will
help create a clear picture on which your practitioners can create a
treatment plan specifically for you. The basic foundation for Oriental
medicine is that there is a life energy flowing through the body which is
termed Qi (pronounced chee).
Acupuncture and herbs can alleviate many menopausal symptoms by rebalancing
the hormonal system, especially headaches and migraines, hot flushing, heavy
flooding periods, back pain and sagging skin tone. Heavy and erratic
menstrual bleeding in perimenopausal women can be
relieved by this technique. Also relieves the pain and headache associated
with menstruation.
A Swedish study of 21 women with menopausal hot flashes found that
acupuncture significantly reduced symptoms; with its effects lasting at least
three months after treatment had ended. Acupuncture may used alone or in
combination with herbs and other remedies. Some alternative practitioners
suggest that acupuncture affects aspects of the nervous system that give rise
to hot flashes. For a free
