Auricular acupuncture to support with women's health and menopause
A personalised ear acupuncture treatment offered as supportive wellbeing care for those experiencing physical and emotional challenges associated with women’s health and menopause. Clients are invited to relax deeply for 20-40 minutes whilst the needles are in place.
The process
An initial consultation process identifies hormone imbalances and addresses them using auricular acupuncture points. During the treatment, small needles are inserted into the ears with the aim of bringing balance to the hormones associated with these conditions. The patient enjoys their needle-induced relaxation for 20 – 40 minutes.
