Acupuncture better than drugs for perimenopausal insomnia!

Despite limited evidence, in comparison to hypnotics, acupuncture was associated with significant improvements in PMI, and reductions of other menopausal symptoms. This finding suggests that acupuncture may be a useful addition to treatment for PMI.

Qigong is a wonderful form of movement to help strengthen the body and internal organs, slow the breath and calm the mind.
It also supports your acupuncture treatment.
This course by Peter Deadman is a great free introduction.

I've created a simple, 30-minute qigong lesson. It's suitable for everyone - with or without experience of qigong - but may be especially useful for those suffering from anxiety etc. You have to register to access it but it's completely free. https://peterdeadman.teachable.com/p/simple-qigong-practice-to-build-health-and-energy-deepen-the-breath-and-calm-the-mind

Its Menopause Awareness day, the 18th of October.

Whilst the average age of menopause for women is 51, the perimenopause is most likely to start from early 40’s and when we are likely to start experiencing menopausal symptoms. In recent research it shows that acupuncture can be a realistic treatment option for women, helping to reduce hot flushes, sweating, sleep disturbance, and skin and hair problems.

Acupuncture can be used by women who cannot or do not want to take HRT, or as an on going support along side conventional treatment.
