Improved Sleep Quality

Insomnia is a common complaint during peri-menopause, but acupuncture can help promote better sleep by regulating the body's natural sleep-wake cycle.

Acupuncture needles stimulate microcirculation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells while promoting the removal of toxins and waste products. Research published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies demonstrated that acupuncture increased blood flow to the face, contributing to improved skin texture and tone (Yan et al., 2013).

HORMONAL BALANCE

Hormonal Balance

Acupuncture may help regulate hormone levels and promote hormonal balance during peri-menopause.

ZA study published in Climacteric found that acupuncture treatment led to a significant increase in serum estradiol levels and a decrease in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in peri-menopausal women (Kim et al., 2010).]
