No empirical evidence exists to prove that acupuncture can slow down menopause. Many in the alternative medicine and nutrition professions believe that taking care of your adrenal system can stave off menopause until the mid-to-late fifties, but no studies have shown this to be true. Essentially, avoiding processed foods, reducing stress, making sleep a priority and exercising regularly can improve the body's ability to weather this natural and inevitable transition more gracefully. Acupuncture can be a part of your treatment plan, as it is believed to help with stress and sleep.
Chinese medicine has helped women's health for more than a thousand years, specifically acupuncture. Acupuncture helps to remove the energy blockages and stabilize hormonal fluctuations, along with providing a deep relaxation to help calm the mind and body. Acupuncture helps regulate the flow of energy and substances within the body. That stimulates the body's natural functions and encourages optimum energy balance to help a woman operate to her full capacity.

The resources that were once used in the preparation of the uterus for a pregnancy and subsequent shedding of blood now may be retained. Symptoms of menopause are therefore caused by underlying problems with the Qi.
