Acupuncture to treat your menopausal loss of libido

Menopause affects almost every facet of your life. Now that it’s affecting your sex life, your partner is probably dying for you to resolve your loss of libido. There are many reasons you may be in the mood less frequently, if at all, including your other menopausal symptom like vaginal dryness, fatigue, night sweats, and irritability to name a few.

The reason your health is affected during menopause is the fluctuation of the production of estrogen in your body. Estrogen controls many processes in the body and when your body doesn’t get the amount it has become accustomed to, some things go wrong. For many people experiencing severe symptoms, hormone replacement therapy may seem like the only option. However, it is not. Read on to find out why acupuncture may be able to help you get your sex drive back, naturally.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture has been used in China for centuries to treat many kinds of health problems, including sexual. Sexual health is very important to the Chinese because it is part of overall wellness. When your body is experiencing an imbalance of energy, or “Qui,” particularly in the heart and kidney systems, you may also experience low libido, infertility, and vaginal dryness. Upon discovering the source of your particular energy imbalance, certain pressure points are stimulated with needles and herbs to correct your body’s chemistry and reunite your body and mind.

Is it scientifically proven?

Until recently, there had not been enough mainstream interest to generate intensive study, but so far the method has not been disproven. Researchers have begun to examine the practice more scrupulously and have seen some evidence that acupuncture can at least reduce the severity of menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and dulled sex drive. However, personal testimony should not be entirely discounted and many people claim to have been helped by acupuncture.

Is it safe?

Probably the biggest draw of trying acupuncture is that there are virtually no side effects. It may not be the most comfortable visit to a health practitioner you will ever experience, but certainly one of the lowest risk options. Acupuncture usually costs less monetarily than other methods, too.
