2. Week van de Acupunctuur

I had been sleeping poorly for about five years due to entering menopause. I had tried everything that was conventionally possible. I was reluctant to use hormone tablets and preferred not to take antidepressants either. Those remedies were not effective enough or had too many side effects. And those were precisely the medications that could be prescribed as a last resort by the doctor.
I also tried other alternative therapies and methods. And despite finding the practice very beautiful and potentially a solution for many people's complaints, it did not help me sufficiently with being able to sleep through the night. Besides being in menopause, I am also hormone-sensitive and highly sensitive. And that combination was and still is challenging in this period of my life.

Hormonal complaints
Almost two years ago, around Christmas 2021, I searched for an acupuncturist near me. That's how I found Sindi Eikelenboom's website. The reason I decided to go to Sindi was that she mentioned on her website that she also treats hormonal complaints. Initially, I went to Sindi every 1 to 2 weeks, then less frequently as I started sleeping better.

Back in balance
Despite the successful treatments, I still have occasional setbacks because I am highly sensitive and easily thrown off balance. When that happens, I visit Sindi again to regain my balance. I now combine acupuncture treatments with kinesiology, as I feel they support each other.
For my treatment, Sindi used needles and also applied heat using a moxa box on my navel. During the treatment, I felt the energy flowing through my body from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. Acupuncture has been very meaningful for me, especially for my hot flashes.

Give it a try!
All I can say is: "Give it a try!" If you have complaints, why not give it a shot. Often, it's partially covered by insurance, but regardless, give it a try. And don't let the needles deter you. If you want something to work, you just have to grit your teeth for a moment, but often you don't even feel them.
