I Don't Treat Menopause

Menopause: A Natural Transition, Not a Disease

I don’t treat menopause as a condition or disease, but I do help support the body through the transitions that naturally occur, like menopause, perimenopause, and beyond. These stages often bring imbalances in Yin/Blood and Yang/Qi, which can affect everything from sleep to mood and energy levels.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine are powerful tools for managing life transitions, whether it’s menopause, the postpartum period, or any major change that affects your mind, body, and spirit.

Common Signs of Yin/Blood Imbalance:

• Dry, brittle hair and nails

• Vaginal dryness

• Trouble sleeping

• Restlessness

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Racing heart and irritability

Common Signs of Yang/Qi Imbalance:

• Fatigue and poor sleep

• Heaviness in the body or limbs

• Digestive issues like loose stools

• Foggy head and heart palpitations

• Weight gain and excess vaginal discharge

Many women experience a combination of these imbalances, including symptoms like:

• Infertility

• Low libido

• Irregular cycles

• Painful menstruation

• Thyroid imbalances

What makes Traditional Chinese Medicine special is its holistic approach. It treats the whole person, uncovering the root cause of imbalances over time. Menopause and perimenopause offer a unique opportunity for women to tune in and discover what their bodies truly need to restore balance.
