Why Women are Turning to Acupuncture For Hot Flashes and Other Symptoms of Menopause

Acupuncture For Hot Flashes

Are you a woman who is freezing one instant and sweating in the next? Do you fall between the ages of 40 and 60? Tired of trying endless medications? Look no further than acupuncture!

Though acupuncture may seem intimidating due to its use of needles, this Chinese method has been known to come with minimal negative side effects and discomfort under the care of a certified acupuncturist. While hot flashes are difficult, nonetheless frustrating to deal with, acupuncture may just help stabilize mood swings, reduce the number of hot flashes you have, steady your heart rate, and overall decrease additional menopausal symptoms.

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center conducted a yearlong research study involving two groups of women going through menopause who also endured numerous hot flashes each day. One group went through acupuncture treatments for 6 months at the start of the study, with a maximum of 20 total during that timeframe. Over the following 6 months, these women experienced more relief. They reported improving by approximately one-third even after they were no longer seeing an acupuncturist for the rest of that year. The other group started acupuncture sessions during the second half of the year, with very minimal improvement in symptoms in the first half. However, they too experienced nearly the same results during their time with the sessions as the other group.

Managing menopause can be a difficult process, especially since life’s everyday stresses can cause hot flashes to flare out. However, managing these episodes through acupuncture may also help reduce stress. With acupuncture helping stress and menopausal symptoms, you are less likely to need to depend on medications for those issues. Overall, acupuncture can help you live a more natural lifestyle.
