How Acupuncture May Help During Perimenopause & Menopause

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to support women's health and is increasingly studied for its role in managing menopausal symptoms.

Research suggests acupuncture may help:

  • Reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes

  • Support stress management and relaxation

  • Decrease anxiety symptoms
