Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) replaces estrogen (± progesterone) directly addressing the hormonal drop that causes an array of symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog, joint pain, anxiety, sleep disturbance and good old menopausal rage.
But what if HRT isn't suitable for you?
HRT may not be suitable due to hormone-sensitive cancers, clot risk, migraines with aura, liver issues; or simply the choice to avoid synthetic hormones.
This is where Acupuncture steps in 🪡
Evidence suggests acupuncture can reduce hot flush frequency and severity, improve sleep, mood, and quality of life, and help regulate the autonomic nervous system — without adding hormones.
With a very low risk profile, acupuncture is suitable when HRT is contraindicated, not tolerated, or simply not desired, and can also be used alongside HRT to improve symptom control.
