Menopause
A natural approach to menopause in London — acupuncture and Chinese medicine for hot flushes, night sweats, sleep and mood.
Menopause is a natural transition, but its symptoms can be exhausting. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine offer a natural approach — whether you cannot take HRT, prefer not to, or simply want extra support alongside it.
Symptoms we commonly treat
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Disturbed sleep and insomnia
- Mood changes, irritability, low mood and anxiety
- Fatigue and poor concentration (“brain fog”)
- Irregular or heavy periods in the perimenopausal years
- Joint aches, dryness and skin changes
A personal, whole-person approach
No two women experience menopause the same way. We begin with a full consultation — your symptoms, cycle history, general health and any treatment you are already receiving — alongside a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis. Your treatment plan usually combines acupuncture with a herbal formula tailored to your pattern of symptoms, refined as things improve.
Research interest in this area continues to grow: studies have suggested acupuncture may meaningfully reduce hot flushes and other troublesome menopausal symptoms for some women.
