Is there a drug-free treatment for menopausal problems? Certain studies show that acupuncture Cleveland, a natural and drug-free type of treatment, can have benefits that can relieve distressful menopause symptoms such as moodiness and hot flashes.
Menopause is the phase of a woman where her childbearing years come to an end. It starts somewhere between the ages 45 and 55. It often causes very uncomfortable symptoms, which is due to changes in the progesterone and estrogen levels.
A very recent study showing how acupuncture works to mitigate menopausal symptoms showed that for the 50 postmenopausal women who participated in the study, the 27 given Chinese acupuncture twice a week manifested marked improvements from their symptoms, particularly the mood swings and hot flashes after ten weeks of treatment compared to those given sham acupuncture treatments. However, other symptoms such as UTI and vaginal dryness were not addressed both on those given genuine Chinese acupuncture and those who were not.
The popularity of acupuncture has been steadily increasing for over 30 years. Acupuncture, however, has been used for many thousands of years by people in China and the Far East and is probably the oldest existing form of treatment in the world. It is about enabling balance in the flow of energy (chi) along energy channels called meridians in the body aided with the use of hair thin, sterile needles inserted at important points in the body that regulates chi flow and removes any energy blockages in the meridians to ensure smooth chi flow.
Acupuncture as seen by Western medicine is about stimulating the connective tissues, muscles and nerves. The stimulation causes the production and release of the body’s own natural painkillers and the improvement of blood circulation. Because of its renowned potency validated by the World Health Organization that claims acupuncture to be truly effective in treating over 40 health conditions, researchers are continuously studying acupuncture’s potential in treating other types of conditions.
New research has shown how acupuncture can be helpful in overcoming the nauseating and vomiting effects of chemotherapy and surgery. Because of its metaphysical nature, western medicinal science is finding it extremely difficult to study acupuncture thoroughly. Whatever the case may be, this ancient medicinal art is an ideal treatment for women who are seeking a natural but effective recourse for the relief of their menopausal problems.
There are few if any untoward side effects with acupuncture. To prevent the rise of acupuncture side effects such as slight bleeding, pain or bruising, choose a licensed acupuncturist for your health problems. This way you know that the practitioner has received proper training and experience to treat your problems. It is also great if you can find a licensed acupuncturist who has extensive experience in treating menopausal problems.
