Acupuncture is often an effective, safe, natural alternative to HRT (hormone replacement therapy).

The extent of your symptoms has a lot to do with your basic health before and during menopause. Overworking, not enough rest, poor diet causing inflammation, exposure to environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors - these can all worsen severity.

Acupuncture brings your hormones into balance and reduces anxiety through a process called homeostatic regulation. It has been shown to improve the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. This is the mechanism responsible for balancing reproductive hormones.
