Chinese medicine treatments:
Acupuncture combined with acupressure massage, dietary therapy, Chinese Herbs and Moxibustion are traditional Chinese medicine treatments that are commonly used to treat the symptoms of menopause. Many of these treatments have evolved over thousands of years. It is not uncommon for many womenin parts of Asia to experience little to no symptoms when they are transitioning from menstruation to peri-menopause to menopause.
Chinese medicine treatments are a gentle, natural, and work with your body to restore balance. The aim of these treatments is to restore balance in the body's energy levels, help re-balance hormones and enable the body to readjust to the changes it is undergoing. (In TCM these are yin and yang energies and their associated relationship to the balance and health of the body), Re-balancing hormones has the effect reducing hot flushes, insomnia and irritability and inducing better sleep.
One of the strengths of acupuncture is in the tailoring of treatment to each individual. Traditional Chinese Medicine does not recognise menopause as one particular syndrome. It aims to treat the specific symptoms that are unique to each individual.

Incorporate mindfulness techniques such as meditation or deep breathing exercises to manage stress and foster emotional equilibrium.
