The NVA is participating in the national campaign, which is featured today in the Telegraaf supplement My Body. This time, the topic is Menopause. In five
key points, it is succinctly explained why acupuncture helps with menopause. Additionally, the online campaign: My body has gone live. For those who want to read more, there is a clear article about what acupuncture can mean in that sometimes challenging period in the life of a woman. And of the man, woman, children, and others beside her, not to be forgotten. 

5x why acupuncture can help you through menopause
The main complaints listed. Acupuncture provides relief for you in:

1. Night Sweats and Hot Flashes
Acupuncture can provide relief quickly for hot flashes, by significantly reducing the number of hot flashes per day/night and their intensity. This way, you can get back to sleeping.

2. Mood Swings
Due to hormonal changes, you often experience mood swings during menopause. Ranging from a short fuse to depressive feelings. Acupuncture rebalances your energy system and can release the happiness hormone serotonin. As a result, you will soon feel much better.

3. Headache Complaints
Often women in menopause are plagued by headaches. Acupuncture can relieve headache complaints by releasing endorphins (a pain-relieving substance). In addition, hormonal fluctuations are reduced. This also applies to other pain complaints that you may experience during menopause.

4. Insomnia
During menopause, women often sleep poorly. Not only because of night sweats, sometimes also due to palpitations or simply because they cannot fall asleep. Acupuncture helps restore the biorhythm and can improve your sleep.

5. Loss of Libido
Loss of libido is often a result of vaginal dryness, fatigue, poor sleep, excessive stress, or medication (such as for high blood pressure). Acupuncture improves libido and addresses the root cause.
