Perimenopause and Menopause
‘Second spring’ is a term that teachers and wise ones give to the menopausal years. Chinese medicine sees the end of menstruation as a wise preservation of resources. Ideally, as a woman’s body winds down monthly hormonal cycling, this allows her access to steady, even energy.
Unfortunately, the ride is not always so smooth! As a woman’s reproductive hormones shift throughout her 40’s, symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, irritability and hot flashes can cause disruption and reduced quality of life. Acupuncture is validated by research to significantly reduce hot flashes.
Jeannie helps you assess your current symptoms and offers a path forward with a combination of acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, or supplements. These natural therapies can stand alone or be combined with HRT from your doctor if necessary.
Navigated well, a woman can step into stability, health, and a newfound sense of creativity in the second half of her life.
Schedule now with Jeannie for either telehealth or in-person visit on the San Francisco Acupuncture Group Website.
