FAQ:
How does It work?
Acupuncture brings your hormones into balance and reduces anxiety through a process called homeostatic regulation. Its stimulation has been shown to improve the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, the mechanism controlling reproductive hormones.
How long will treatment last?
Answering this presents variables, as Menopausal symptoms are not an illness with a curative endpoint, but an alleviation of constitutional discomfort. Most women have remarkably reduced symptoms in just 3 weekly sessions, whilst long term effects are likely in 8-12 sessions, improvement growing with each visit. Long term maintenance visits are every 8-10 weeks.
What happens when I come for treatment?
In ongoing courses sessions will be spent discussing your progress, and addressing any worries or concerns you may have. Then usually 6-12 needles will be inserted gently as you lie relaxing, fully-clothed, resting for 20 minutes or so as the needles work. Very simple. And afterwards most people are so calm and refreshed they feel a light clarity and are tranquil for many days.
