Natural Relief for Menopause Symptoms with Acupuncture in Chicago
If you're waking up drenched in sweat, snapping over things you used to shrug off, or feeling like you've lost your spark, you're not alone. At Herb and Ohm in downtown Chicago, women are finding natural relief from menopause symptoms through personalized acupuncture treatments.
Understanding Menopause Symptoms
Hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, bloating, low libido, and joint pain stem from the decline and fluctuation of estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause and menopause.
Perimenopause can start as early as your 30s. Nearly 80% of women begin experiencing symptoms around age 35. While Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can help, many women still struggle with symptoms even while on HRT because the entire operating system of your body still needs support.
Your hormones don't work in isolation. Your nervous system, digestive system, immune system, and stress response all play a critical role in how balanced or unbalanced you feel.
Common Menopause Symptoms Treated with Acupuncture
Women seeking acupuncture for menopause in Chicago commonly experience relief from:
Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
Acupuncture helps regulate your body's temperature control system and hormonal fluctuations that trigger these heat episodes.
Mood Swings and Anxiety
Acupuncture calms your nervous system and helps stabilize mood by addressing the underlying hormonal imbalances.
Brain Fog and Fatigue
These cognitive and energy issues respond well to acupuncture treatments that support your body's natural energy production and mental clarity.
Weight Gain and Bloating
Acupuncture combined with nutritional guidance helps balance blood sugar and restore digestive function.
Irregular Cycles and Insomnia
Acupuncture helps regulate your body's natural rhythms and promotes restful sleep.
Frozen Shoulder and Achy Joints
Acupuncture reduces inflammation and improves mobility in affected joints.
Low Libido and Vaginal Dryness
Acupuncture supports hormone balance and improves circulation to affected tissues.
Vertigo and Dizziness
Acupuncture addresses the underlying causes of balance issues related to hormonal fluctuations.
How Acupuncture Relieves Menopause Symptoms
Acupuncture treats the root cause of hormonal imbalance. During treatment, thin needles are strategically placed at specific points on your body to:
Regulate hormones naturally by supporting your body's own hormone production and balance
Reduce inflammation throughout your system
Calm your nervous system
Improve circulation and energy flow
Support your adrenal glands, which take over some hormone production during menopause
Acupuncture works with your body's innate healing mechanisms and can be used as a primary treatment or as a complement to HRT.
