Common complaints

Restoring balance

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This ancient medicine is based on the insight that physical and mental complaints arise from disturbances in the energy system of the body. With acupuncture, these disturbances can be corrected and the energy flow in your body is brought back into balance. Acupuncture encourages the body and mind to heal itself.

(Peri) Meno Pause

Every person born a woman will suffer to varying degrees with menopause, menopause. You are no longer fertile and your role in your life changes. Not only do you experience physical symptoms, but emotionally it can be a big swing. Some women suffer virtually nothing, but the majority experience reasonable to even very strong symptoms.

It is difficult to do a western examination of hormones when there is still sporadic bleeding. Only a year after the last menstruation can solid research be done and one speaks of menopause. But before that year, of course, it fluctuates as a while. That is an approaching menopause and it can also have its symptoms. Night sweats, hot flashes, palpitations, vaginal dryness, fatigue, headaches, foggy brain, weight gain, feelings of heaviness, moodswings, insomnia and I could go on and on.

Emotionally, it is finding a way to redefine your life. In TCM it is said: your fertility has decreased but your life wisdom is increasing. And that wisdom, it has to find its way.


What can acupuncture do?

Because we are getting older, our fire is burning a little less. That fire lies with our kidneys. The treatment focuses on the energy of these kidneys and the personal extra complaints that apply. As a result, your complaints decrease and you are also emotionally supported in your new phase of life.


How many treatments are needed depends on the nature and severity of your complaints. The acupuncturist will tell you more about this.
