Menopause is a natural, physiological cycle that occurs in all women. Conventional medical treatments only address various symptoms and signs associated with menopause. However, symptoms and signs are just one part of the whole picture.
ACUPUNCTURE AND A WOMAN’S NATURAL PROCESS
Menopause signifies a “change” within a woman’s life. This change occurs because a woman’s body chemistry is shifting. Chinese medicine recognizes this chemistry change as a natural process. Estrogen is similar to what acupuncturists call Jing Qi. Jing Qi is like a gift that is given to all of us at the time of conception. It is the battery that provides us with the basic energy to power all our life functions. When Jing Qi is abundant, our ability to adapt to disease, illness and stress is optional.
As we age, our supply or Jing Qi energy is slowly drained usually between the ages of 35 and 60. This causes our organ systems within our body to become unbalanced. This leads to various symptoms and signs such as loss of libido, urinary difficulty, poor memory, anxiety, back ache and fatigue.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer safe natural drug free and effective way to address menopause. Treatment supports the healing energies of the body providing the body with the building blocks it needs to nourish, heal and balance.
