Perimenopause Support in San Francisco

Navigating perimenopause can feel like a roller coaster, but acupuncture and traditional East Asian medicine offer a natural and effective way to ease your symptoms. In fact, traditional East Asian medicine refers to menopause as a “second spring” because it’s a time for rejuvenation and healing, leading to even better health. We understand that your body is going through significant changes, and we're here to help you feel like your best self. 

Acupuncture involves gently placing thin needles into specific points on your body. This ancient practice helps balance your body’s energy flow, or "qi," promoting overall well-being. For perimenopause, acupuncture can be particularly beneficial. It helps regulate hormones, reducing hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Many of our patients report feeling more balanced and less stressed after just a few sessions.

Herbal medicine is another powerful tool we use. Customized herbal formulas can target specific symptoms like vasovagal hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, palpitations and anxiety. And did we mention irritability? Yep, we know. These herbs work in harmony with your body to restore balance without the side effects often associated with conventional medications. We tailor each herbal blend to your unique needs, ensuring you get the most effective treatment.

Diet and lifestyle recommendations also play a crucial role. We’ll guide you on the best foods to nourish your body during this transition and suggest lifestyle adjustments to support your health. Simple changes, like incorporating cooling foods to combat hot flashes or practicing mindfulness techniques, can make a significant difference.

Our highly experienced professionals are dedicated to providing compassionate care tailored to your needs. With years of training and practice, we combine traditional wisdom with modern understanding to help you navigate perimenopause naturally and effectively. You don’t have to go through this alone, friend—let us support you as you turn the page to a new, even better chapter.
