Tired of Ups and Downs in Mood?

Many Women Suffer with Mood Changes during Hormonal Shifts

Whether due to Hormonal shifts or situational life changes (or both at once)…

Acupuncture can help with balancing your mood and energy.

 

Hormonal shifts

Many women feel overwhelmed around perimenopause and menopause.

This can show up as feeling frazzled and tired or “wired & tired.”

You may feel like your mood is not in balance; one minute feeling fine, the next feeling low.

 

Perimenopause is lasting longer for many these days; sometimes longer than 5 years!

Not to worry-Acupuncture can help balance mood and energy-even sleep!

Life Changes (Situational)

Many of us find ourselves new empty-nesters, newly divorced or helping with elderly parents. Sometimes we are facing this at the very time when our own hormones are shifting. This can be a real challenge.

Do not worry- Acupuncture can help manage the stress.

 

-Acupuncture helps the body adapt to stress-

 

How Often Will You Need Treatments?

Treatments start closer together; about once per week.

Then after the mood improves, appointments can be spaced out further.

Most return patients eventually come in regularly, once per month.

Four Ways Acupuncture Helps Hot flashes and Night Sweats

  1. Triggers more positive mood (by activating endorphin pathways)-May help you deal better with symptoms!
  2. Decreases secretion of calcitonin (neuropeptide that causes vasodilation) *vasodilation triggers warm body temperature
  3. Increases melatonin  
  4. Prompts Your Body to Return back to Homeostasis *Homeostasis= condition of optimal functioning for an organism

Most Patients suffering with hot flashes report less frequency and less intense symptoms after acupuncture.

 

How Acupuncture Helps Hot Flashes

Acupuncture triggers a more positive mood by activating endorphin pathways. Patients can move from anxiety, depression and irritability to feeling chill and relaxed.

Acupuncture prompts the body to decrease vasodilation in order to reduce heat and perspiration in the body, helping the individual both day and night.

Acupuncture increases Melatonin, the sleep hormone necessary for sound sleep. Melatonin is disturbed during hot flashes and night sweats occurring at night.

This is why many get acupuncture for Insomnia!

 

Acupuncture helps the body return to its natural, healthy state of homeostasis. Homeostasis is the condition of optimal functioning for an organism.

Another example of this is when acupuncture lowers blood pressure in someone with high blood pressure.
