I am an autumn person. I love this season—for so many reasons.
🍂The cool, crisp air that feels so refreshing
🍂The beautiful leaves changing color that bring me so much joy
🍂The invitation to slow down, rest, and replenish
One of my favorite things about fall, though, is being able to step outside when I’m having a hot flash. As a woman in her 40s, this is invaluable.
I may look a little crazy standing on my front stoop when it’s in the 30s or 40s wearing a T-shirt, but I don’t care. That cool air feels so good.
Of course, stepping outside offers some relief in the moment.
Getting support for what’s happening in your body can help beyond those few minutes on the front stoop.
East Asian Medicine takes a whole-body approach to understanding these changes, with treatment specific to your body. Acupuncture may help ease hot flashes and night sweats, supporting more restful sleep and helping you feel more comfortable in your body.
If this sounds familiar and you could use some support, you’re welcome to schedule a consultation. We’ll talk about what you’re experiencing and whether this approach would be a good fit for you.
