🌿 How Acupuncture Can Help with Menopause Symptoms

Menopause is a natural stage in life, but the symptoms that come with it—like hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia, and fatigue—can be anything but easy. While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is an option for some, many women are looking for natural, drug-free ways to manage their symptoms. That’s where acupuncture can help.

✨ How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body. It’s believed to restore balance, improve energy flow (Qi), and support the body’s natural healing processes.

🧘‍♀️ Benefits of Acupuncture for Menopause:
• Reduces Hot Flushes & Night Sweats: Studies have shown that regular acupuncture sessions can reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flushes and night sweats.
• Improves Sleep: Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system and promotes deeper, more restful sleep—especially important when insomnia is triggered by hormonal changes.
• Balances Mood & Reduces Anxiety: Many women report feeling calmer and more emotionally balanced after treatment, thanks to acupuncture’s impact on stress hormones and endorphin levels.
• Supports Energy & Wellbeing: By promoting circulation and restoring energy flow, acupuncture can help combat fatigue and improve overall vitality.

🌸 A Holistic, Personalised Approach
One of the key benefits of acupuncture is that it’s tailored to you. Your acupuncturist will consider your specific symptoms, lifestyle, and overall health to create a treatment plan that addresses your unique experience of menopause.

You can be happy for your friend… and still feel heartbroken for yourself.

It doesn’t make you a bad person. It makes you human.

If you’re navigating fertility struggles, seeing a friend’s pregnancy announcement can feel like a gut punch. You want to celebrate with them, but there’s a deep ache inside you that won’t be ignored. That ache can come with guilt, shame, even resentment—and then more guilt for feeling that way.

Grief and joy can coexist. You are allowed to protect your heart while still loving your people. 💔💗

If this is you today be gentle with yourself. This journey asks so much—and you’re doing your best.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and we want to talk about how much BAcC practitioners can help those in our communities struggling with mental health issues.

Traditional acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is a holistic discipline, and treats the whole person rather than the ‘disease’. The aetiology for depression, anxiety, and stress can be complex and varied from person to person.

In this fascinating members-only article from the recent edition of Acu Magazine, Peter Mole, Dean Emeritus of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, explains his integrated approach to treating anxiety combining the wisdom of Five Element theory and TCM protocols.
