Acupuncture for Perimenopause & Menopause Support
Perimenopause and menopause are natural transitions, but the symptoms can be disruptive and exhausting. Many women experience hot flashes, night sweats, irregular cycles, insomnia, brain fog, and mood changes during this stage of life.
At Seed Acupuncture, we help you navigate this transition with steady support so you can feel more like yourself as your body finds a new rhythm.
How Acupuncture Relieves Menopause and Perimenopause Symptoms
Research shows that acupuncture regulates the neuroendocrine system, balancing the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axes to ease symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and sleep disruption.
Treatments improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and restore hormonal feedback loops. Many women notice improved sleep, fewer vasomotor symptoms, better mood stability, and a greater sense of well-being after TCM treatments.
A TCM Perspective on Menopause as a Transition
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, menopause isn’t seen as a decline, but a natural shift in energy from outward productivity to inward nourishment. This stage is often linked to Kidney Yin and Yang changes, and treatments are focused on restoring harmony, preserving vitality, and supporting emotional clarity. Many women find that this phase becomes not just manageable, but empowering, with the right support.

Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause Symptoms
Perimenopause often begins in a woman’s 40s and can last for years, with fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels leading to unpredictable cycles and uncomfortable symptoms. Menopause, defined as 12 months without menstruation, usually occurs between ages 45-55 and brings longer-term changes such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, and joint pain. Acupuncture provides a safe and natural approach for addressing these hormonal shifts, helping women restore equilibrium during this stage of life.
TCM Herbal Medicine, HRT, and Holistic Support for Hormonal Balance
Alongside acupuncture, customized herbal medicine can address imbalances unique to each woman, from easing hot flashes and irritability to improving sleep and supporting bone health. At Seed Acupuncture, we also integrate nutritional guidance and lifestyle support to help you feel more resilient, balanced, and empowered through the menopausal transition.
We also recognize that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be an important tool for many women. If you're considering HRT or already using it, we’re happy to work alongside your prescribing provider to support your overall well-being and address symptoms that HRT may not fully resolve. If you're unsure whether it's the right choice for you, we’re here to help you explore your options with clarity and care.
