This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through the hormonal change of the perimenopause and menopause at: ⭕ The Acupuncture Collective 🗓️ 2pm to 8pm - Monday 19th January 📍Moon Women’s Health, 63 Chetwynd Road, NW5 1BX Book via our bio. This is Part 1 of a series focused on hormones - in March’s clinic they'll be looking at hormonal irregularity in our menstruating years. Perimenopause and menopause can be a surprise to many of us. Largely hushed up by our mums, this hormonal shift can creep up without warning. The good news is, that for most of us, once ideas of self-care, nutrition, exercise and HRT options have been given some attention, there’s a very good chance we'll feel better than ever. And guess what? Yes, you’re right, acupuncture is one of the best forms of self-care for women, especially during hormonal turbulence. And what better time to have a health reboot! January of course. In Chinese philosophy, Winter is the most Yin time of the year. Yin is characterised as the passive female principle of the universe, sustaining and associated with earth, dark, and cold. Nature’s energy is low, and so is ours, so TLC is at the top of the agenda. The perimenopausal time of life is when your boat can be severely rocked and it can arrive out of the blue. The symptoms can be slight or debilitating, it's different from person to person. This is because our hormonal balances are unique. Acupuncture can help get to the root cause of symptoms we may experience: ⭕ Hot flushes ⭕ Night sweats ⭕ Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex ⭕ Difficulty sleeping ⭕ Low mood or anxiety ⭕ Reduced libido ⭕ Problems with memory and concentration ⭕ Backache ⭕ Stiff joints ⭕ Irregular periods Primarily we look at how we can nourish your Kidney energy. In Chinese Medicine, Kidneys are associated with our life battery, bones and attitudes to risk and fear and levels of anxiety. By balancing this meridian, we can help calm anxiety, night sweats, and hot flushes, helping bring more restful sleep. There's a good chance your sex drive will get a boost at the same time too!
