Perimenopause + Sleep

ByJersey May 21, 2024May 23, 2024

A study in Climacteric, the international journal of the Menopause Society, states that acupuncture can help those suffering from perimenopausal & menopausal symptoms get a good night’s sleep. c

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy on sleep parameters, depression symptoms and quality of life in postmenopausal women with insomnia.The study found that acupuncture helped women sleep better and feel better overall.
