Perimenopause and Menopause Acupuncture FAQ
Q: How long does it take to help? I want to see noticeable improvements within your first month of treatment. Your treatment plan is adjusted over time to help ensure continued and lasting relief. Because perimenopause can be a multi-year transition, maintenance plans are sometimes recommended to address new issues if they arise.
Q: What if my doctor has prescribed menopause hormone therapy/hormone replacement therapy? No problem. My approach doesn’t conflict, and can help relieve issues that may still be bothering you even with hormone supplementation.
Q: I see a lot of supplements online for perimenopause and menopause. Do they work? Do you offer those? Most supplements are one-size-fits-all and may not address what you’re experiencing. (For example, it doesn’t help to take something for hot flashes if your problem is feeling angry all the time.) Quality control can also be an issue, meaning that not everything sold contains what it says it contains.
As an experienced Chinese herbalist, I source herbal medicine carefully with an eye toward safety. I also tailor my prescriptions to your individual constitution. Herbal medicine typically helps you reach your goals faster.
