Menopause
Although every woman has a different experience of menopause, most experience the side effects of reduced oestrogen and progesterone between the ages of 40 and 60. During this period, three phases occur: perimenopause, typically between the ages of 40 and 50, is the time leading up to menopause; menopause; and postmenopause, the time after 12 months without menstruation.
A wide range of symptoms occur at all these stages and women often feel frustrated or find it difficult to manage these changes. Many are looking for natural relief from menopause. Traditional Chinese medicine, including menopause acupuncture and complementary herbs, offer highly effective, safe and hormone-free relief for all stages and symptoms of menopause.
