Acupressure and Menopause

At the time of menopause, the all  endocrine glands are affected, particularly the gonads glands, thyroid glands, and pituitary glands. In some women, the menopausal change takes place without any unpleasant symptoms, only change they notice is the cessation of menstrual flow. There are, however, many women who develop disturbing symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, tension, insomnia, diminished interest in sex, irritability, and depression. Other symptoms are fatigue, palpitations, dizziness, headaches, and numbness.


Disturbing symptoms associated with menopause arise from the fact that the ovaries are no longer producing their normal amount of estrogen, the dominant female hormone. Anything which interferes with the normal functioning of the ovaries may also bring about these symptoms. Lack of a normal hormonal balance may also result in a severe backache which is caused by thinning of the bones. This condition is called osteoporosis and arises from the low level of estrogen in the bloodstream.


As I discussed in last post that correcting hormonal Imbalances in Acupressure is simple. Giving massage for one minute on few points will solve the problem. Massage these points twice a day for few weeks or few months as long as problem is solved, after that, massage can be given once week, is enough to keep you in your best of your health.

Points are as under

• First points is, along both sides of wrist as can be seen in my last post. These points are responsible for controlling  gonad glands which produce estrogen hormones.
• second point is, along outer side of thumb nail  from tip to base of nail as per shown in last post. These points are responsible for controlling fat and water retention in the body. Massaging these points will definitely control fat and water retention.
• Third point is at the base of thumb, a fleshy pad, it is responsible for correcting thyroid glands. Controlling  calcium absorption.
• Fourth point is two finger width below on palm, between first and second finger. This point control dullness, timidness or less energy.

• Fifth point is two finger width below ring finger on palm. This point controls dizziness and depression.

Applying pressure or massaging these points will take only few minutes a day will bring good health and magical results.
