How to Manage Your Menopause Symptoms with Acupressure

Acupressure is an ancient natural treatment where specific points on the body are pressed with the fingers. It is often called “acupuncture without needles”.

In clinical studies performed by scientists in the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia, it has been proven that acupressure can replace chemical treatments to alleviate several physical and emotional ailments.

Health benefits of Acupuncture

It’s believed that Acupressure helps to boost

  • the metabolism,
  • reduce cravings,
  • regulate the body’s temperature,
  • strengthen general vital energy,
  • fight fatigue, 
  • treat headaches and
  • nausea.

Acupressure For Treating Emotional Levels

And acupressure works on an emotional level too: it stabilizes mood swings and drastically decreases irritability, anxiety, tension and fear. It’s also a great way to calm the mind and bring about a feeling of centredness and serenity.

Potential Side Effects Of Therapy

Acupressure does not involve any intake or mechanical manipulation. It has no side effects, and cannot overwhelm or flood your body. Its core function is to strengthen your body’s own self-healing capabilities.

The Menopause Acupressure method is based on scientific research results across the world about acupuncture and acupressure efficiency.
