Acupuncture helps restore the body’s natural balance
Acupuncture helps restore the body’s natural balance by acting on the endocrine systems (yes, those irksome hormones) as well as the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, thereby easing hot flashes, night sweats, stress and insomnia, as well as certain disorders relating to mood and digestion. “Acupuncture for menopausal symptoms is a realistic option for women who cannot or do not wish to use hormone therapy” to ease hot flashes, sleep issues or mood swings, said a team led by KammaSundgaardLund, from the department of public health at the University of Copenhagen.
