Menopause
Nothing can stop you now, your self confidence is in the best place it has ever been, you feel comfortable within your own body, you have achieved many great things and have overcome numerous obstacles. And you are now experiencing physical changes within your body that are often uncomfortable, energy draining and a nuisance.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs offer relief from your menopausal symptoms. We treat you safely, effectively and naturally to help you find a new place of comfort, ease and peace.
Acupuncture and herbs are also effective when combined with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) offering a natural approach to balance your HRT approach. Many women often combine both medicines which allow for mitigated dosing of HRTs.
