Acupuncture for Perimenopause + Menopause

Most people who menstruate know what menopause is but did you know that perimenopause can occur in your 40s, 30s or even earlier? Some call it PMS on steroids.

Indications of perimenopause include:

  • hot flashes and night sweats

  • fatigue

  • increased premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

  • irregular and/or heavy menstrual cycles

  • insomnia

  • vaginal dryness

  • decreased libido

  • heart palpitations

  • poor memory and concentrations

  • mood swings and irritability

  • anxiety

  • breast tenderness.

These are many of the same symptoms as menopause (without the periods!). The good news is that acupuncture and herbal medicine is great for relieving the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause and bringing your hormones back into balance so you can transition into your second spring with more grace and ease.

 Natural Relief for Peri/Menopause Symptoms

“I have been living in peri menopause hell for months and months, seeing many specialists (endocrinologists, gynos, GI specialists) and NO ONE could help me. “Everything looks fine!” Is all I’ve gotten…and I did not feel fine! I am so so grateful someone suggested Karen at Karuna. She’s literally changed my life and body in 3 weeks of seeing her. Women—do yourselves a favor and look here for the help no one else can give you.”
