Menopausal symptoms can be incredibly disruptive to a woman's life, but acupuncture and herbal medicine can provide effective relief from these symptoms. For example, acupuncture has been shown to be effective in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. It does so by stimulating the nervous system, which can regulate hormones and neurotransmitters involved in these symptoms.

Certain herbs, such as black cohosh, dong quai, and ginseng, have been shown to have hormone-balancing properties, which can help alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms.
