Despite the chilly temperature outside, suffering a hot flash is never a pleasant experience. For women going through menopause this symptom is all to common and many are left desperately seeking new forms of relief. The Seattle Times recently highlighted a study that was published in the Journal of Acupuncture in Medicine. Participants in the study were all experiencing symptoms of menopause, and divided into two groups. Group A received true acupuncture treatments, while Group B received mock treatments. After 5 weeks of treatment, group A experienced a reduction in hot flashes and a boost in estrogen, in comparison to the placebo group which did not. The article went on to say that had the sessions been extended to 10 weeks even more significant improvements would have been noticed.
