One minute, you’re fine. The next, you’re burning up from the inside out. Your face flushes, your clothes feel like they are choking your arms and legs, and the heat seems to come out of nowhere—sometimes in the middle of a meeting, sometimes waking you up at night, sometimes in a heated discussion–leaving you drenched and feeling defeated.
This is a common symptom of hormonal shifts during fertile years and perimenopause, and these hot flashes are a sign that your body is working hard to adjust to changing hormone levels. But just because hot flashes are common doesn’t mean you have to suffer through them.
Sign your body is experiencing hormonal shifts:
🔥 Sudden waves of heat that come out of nowhere
🔥 Night sweats that disrupt your sleep
🔥 Flushing in the face, chest, or neck
🔥 Irritability and restlessness after a hot flash
🔥 Chills or fatigue once the heat fades
For centuries, Chinese medicine has helped women cool down naturally by redirecting this vital body heat where it really belongs in the body, without relying on hormone therapy (and even if you ARE choosing hormone therapy, Chinese Medicine can help further ease your symptoms and give you the resources to navigate this normal shift that feels anything but normal).
Acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine work by regulating your body’s internal thermostat, improving circulation, and calming the nervous system, so those heat surges become less frequent, less intense, and eventually, fade away.
And because your body needs gentle, whole-body support, we also provide simple, sustainable lifestyle and dietary recommendations to help cool excess heat, balance hormones, and restore deep, nourishing rest.
Your body can adjust to this new phase with more ease. Let’s make hot flashes a thing of the past. Text or call 858-308-2230 for a free consultation today!
