The Great Transformation - Altering Attitudes Toward Menopause with Chinese Medicine

Menopause is an unavoidable phenomenon and one which many women dread. However, although it may be associated with a variety of undesirable symptoms, this is not always the case. Many factors can influence the way in which a woman transitions through midlife and menopause. Much is of course determined by genetics, but one of the most influential aspects is each woman’s individual attitude toward menopause and ageing. For example, women who have a positive outlook on the process may encounter fewer troublesome symptoms. As acupuncturists, we are uniquely positioned to help our patients shift their perspective and thus ease their journey through menopause and beyond.
