The good news is that acupuncture and herbal medicine can help you naturally go through menopause. Acupuncture helps to balance our body and mind. Acupuncture sends the impulse to the brain and produces the feedback reflex to correct the imbalanced homeostasis. At the same time, acupuncture relaxes the brain and promotes the release of neurotransmitters.
