Acupuncture for menopause in Barcelona
Hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia or mood swings: acupuncture and Chinese Medicine help you go through this stage with more balance, naturally.
MenopauseHow it helps
How does acupuncture help with menopause?
Acupuncture helps reduce hot flushes and night sweats, improves sleep and steadies mood. It’s a good option for women who can’t or don’t want to take hormone therapy.
In Chinese Medicine, menopause is a natural stage in which Yin, the cooling and nourishing part, declines. When that balance is disturbed, “heat” appears: hot flushes, dryness, irritability or insomnia.
We combine acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and energetic nutrition to nourish Yin and restore balance.
