· Acupuncture for menopause & hormonal balance ·
Menopause is the natural decline of reproductive hormones - especially oestrogen and progesterone - as the ovaries stop releasing eggs. This transition typically happens between the ages of 45 and 55, and is confirmed after a full year without a period.
Common symptoms include:
· Hot flashes, night sweats, sudden temperature changes
· Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, low mood
· Sleep disturbances, brain fog, memory lapses
· Slower metabolism, weight gain, low energy
· Vaginal dryness, reduced libido, joint pain
How acupuncture supports this transition:
In Chinese medicine, menopause becomes uncomfortable when the body’s balancing mechanisms for heat, moisture and flow are disrupted. This may show up as internal heat, emotional instability or dryness. Lifestyle, stress and inherited traits can influence how strongly this phase is felt.
Acupuncture can help by balancing hormones, cooling internal heat, regulating emotions, relieving tension and improving sleep.
Sessions take place in my calm and private practice in Amsterdam Centre.
