Auricular acupuncture to support with women's health and menopause
An individually tailored ear acupuncture treatment designed to support women through the natural changes and transitions that can occur throughout life. Often chosen by those experiencing period pain, heavy or irregular periods, emotional ups and downs, fluctuating energy, disturbed sleep, or symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. This treatment offers an opportunity to rebalance, with clients invited to rest deeply for 20–40 minutes while 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.
