    Menopause – Acupuncture and TCM advice

    For women, menopause can be like sailing in the ocean: a plain sailing and calm journey for some or a very rocky, choppy and unsettling journey for others.

    It is quite effective to treat seasonal allergies with acupuncture. There is often a quick response and patients can get some relief during the first treatment while lying down with the acupuncture needles in place – especially from the head pressure/tension and the nose blockage.

    After an initial treatment, patients come in for “top-up treatments” on a need to basis. Some patients come back once or twice a year for a booster, or a few weeks before their usual onset of symptoms, while others may need to come for treatments more often.

The days are longer and brighter. The sun warms the earth, flowers bloom, seeds sprout and the lambs are born.

    Spring is a special time of the year for the Chinese people as they celebrate the Chinese New Year. As this is a time for clearing out the old and bringing in the new, it is a good time for cleansing and rejuvenation health and well-being.
