Acupuncture

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

    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!

    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.
