At Songbird Acupuncture, your treatment plan is always personalized to your goals, symptoms, and overall health history. We meet regularly to track your progress, and your plan is adjusted as needed.

Your plan addresses the physical and emotional symptoms you’re experiencing during perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, including:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats

  • Irregular and difficult menstrual cycles

  • Anxiety, depression, and anger

  • Sleep challenges

  • Fatigue

  • Brain fog

  • Joint pain

Depending on your goals and history, your treatment typically follows
one of three paths:

  • Chinese herbal medicine is a powerful, evidence-based option for treatment of many internal medicine issues, including hot flashes, sleep, mood, digestion, and more.

    Herbal medicine works by reducing inflammation, increasing circulation, improving digestion and metabolism, and regulating hormones and the nervous system.

    Chinese herbal prescriptions are personalized to your needs and are adjusted as your healing process progresses. They’re safe, effective, and don’t require you to swallow 20 capsules a day.

    Herbal medicine programs also include guidance on nutritional support, lifestyle, and stress management, depending on your needs.

  • Acupuncture is a safe, effective treatment for acute and chronic pain and nervous system regulation. It can also a useful supportive treatment for many internal medicine conditions, including symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

    Acupuncture works by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and helping the body release natural endorphins and neurotransmitters.

    Acupuncture sessions may also include cupping, guasha, and nutritional or lifestyle guidance.

  • For people with severe symptoms or a combination of both pain and internal medicine issues, Chinese herbal medicine plus acupuncture is often the fastest, most effective path to healing.

    Acupuncture addresses symptoms quickly, in the moment, while Chinese herbal medicine works to correct the deeper underlying patterns over time.
