Acupuncture for Menopause & Perimenopause
at
Union Yoga & Physical Therapy
Hi there & welcome! I’m Dr. Danielle Rose, a women’s health acupuncturist, herbal medicine practitioner, physical therapist, and yoga teacher.
As I move through my own menopausal years, this topic has become near and dear to my heart. I know firsthand how challenging hot flashes, brain fog, and restless nights can be — and I also know how transformative acupuncture and herbal medicine can be for women going through this stage of life.
At Union Yoga & Physical Therapy in Annandale, VA, I help women navigate perimenopause and menopause with confidence, calm, and balance — naturally.
How Acupuncture Supports
Menopause & Perimenopause
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes a holistic approach to women’s health. Instead of masking symptoms, it works to restore balance in the body by supporting the systems that regulate hormones, energy, and digestion.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help relieve common symptoms of menopause and perimenopause, including:
-
Hot flashes and night sweats
-
Insomnia and disrupted sleep
-
Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
-
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
-
Vaginal dryness or painful intercourse
-
Low energy and sluggish digestion
Through gentle and natural methods, TCM helps your body find balance again — so you can feel more like yourself.
Understanding Yin Deficiency in TCM
In TCM philosophy, menopause marks a time when yin energy — the aspect that nourishes, cools, and moisturizes the body — naturally begins to decline.
When yin becomes depleted, the body’s heat (or yang energy) rises unchecked, leading to symptoms like:
-
Hot flashes and night sweats
-
Dry skin and mucous membranes
-
Feeling overheated, irritable, or restless
Acupuncture and herbal medicine nourish yin and calm yang, restoring harmony between the two. This balance helps reduce heat symptoms, support better sleep, and improve overall well-being.
What to Expect from Treatment
Many women start to feel improvement within their first few sessions — sometimes even after the very first one!
For menopausal symptoms, I typically recommend:
-
1 session per week for 4–8 weeks to begin rebalancing the body
-
Herbal medicine for long-term support between sessions
One of my patients went from six hot flashes per day to six per week after a single acupuncture treatment — a wonderful start on the journey toward balance.
While everyone’s experience is unique, acupuncture and herbs together can create sustainable, life-changing results.
