Acupuncture works better drugs for treating hotflashes.

Turns out that what thousands of women already know has been the subject of a study conducted by researchers from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and presented at a meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology.

Acupuncture works better and has fewer side effects than standard drug treatment. Oddly enough, this matches my findings in clinic perfectly. Some of the women who got the most relief were undergoing cosmetic facial rejuvenation acupuncture. Those patients were all thrilled when they saw a dramatic reduction in wrinkles and lost the night sweats and hot flashes.
