A new article published in Obstetrics and Gynecology showed that acupuncture was helpful in improving sleep in in women going through the perimenopausal or post-menopausal period.
When a woman’s estrogen level drops, trouble sleeping, hot flashes, mood swings and cognitive difficulties often ensue, and are often helped with acupuncture and herbs.
This study was particularly interesting because it also showed that the peri-menopausal women who got the best relief also benefited from an increase in their estrogen levels after acupuncture.
