Some people have been enquiring about acupuncture for the symptoms of Menopause. Here's some more information on studies that have investigated acupuncture as a treatment for symptoms of Menopause.
Some general questions about acupuncture as well so I'll do a post soon. Send me any questions you have on acupuncture!
Acupuncture can reduce symptoms of the menopause - A 2019 study revealed that a 6 week course of acupuncture “produced a fast and clinically relevant reduction in moderate-to-severe menopausal symptoms”. The Danish study had 70 participants in total. They used 8 standard acupuncture points on 36 participants and the control group of 34 participants received no treatment.
After just 3 weeks, participants in the acupuncture group already noticed a “decrease in hot flushes, emotional symptoms, skin and hair symptoms”
After 6 weeks, results showed the acupuncture group reported “significantly decreased hot flushes, day-and-night sweats, general sweating, menopausal-specific sleeping problems, emotional symptoms, physical symptoms and skin and hair symptoms” in comparison to the control group.
This suggests that acupuncture can be a fast, non invasive and clinically proven treatment to reduce symptoms of menopause.
Another Randomized Controlled Trial studying acupuncture to relieve Menopausal Hot Flashes (Zhou et al, 2011) showed “After 12 weeks the severity and frequency of hot flushes reduced significantly.”
That’s the science - Treatment is available!
