Acupuncture
The Eastern practice now widely accepted in the West
Acupuncture has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for thousands of years; acupuncture is one of the key components of traditional Chinese medicine which are used to seek balance within the human body.
Traditional acupuncture, as now practiced, involves the insertion of stainless steel needles into various body areas that are pathways known as meridians. A low-frequency current may be applied to the needles to produce greater stimulation.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, health is achieved by maintaining the body in a 'balanced state'. Disease is due to an internal imbalance of yin and yang. This imbalance leads to blockage in the flow of Qi, the vital energy or life force proposed to regulate a person's spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health.
As with other imbalances in the body, menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and anxiety can be alleviated by acupuncture, usually in conjunction with traditional Chinese/Oriental medicine.
