Hi all,
I've read a few of you mentioning acupuncture as a great natural approach to helping with menopausal symptoms and so I was wondering if people could share more with me?  If anyone has recommendations for finding one that is trained to help that would be great too. I love Melbourne eastern suburbs if anyone has used one out here I'd love to hear about it

    Great question and while we wait for other members to respond, here is the information we have in relation to complementary therapies (such as acupuncture):

    Hi @melways, I have acupuncture regularly to help with various things, immune support, stress, aches and pains. I have not had acupuncture for menopause but one of my relatives did and said it helped a bit. You could give it a go and see what you think. Some GPs also do acupuncture. Just get one who has a good reputation.

    Hi @melways
    My oncologist suggested acupuncture for my menopausal symptoms from my hormone therapy.  I haven't tried it myself (I'm needle phobic! ) but she said some of her patients get good results from it!
