Acupuncture
Acupuncture enhances the release of endorphins (opiate-like hormones), and preliminary studies suggest that it may improve mood--including feelings of sadness and fear--in perimenopausal women. It may also help to balance hormones and relieve hot flashes.

Massage
Stress reduction is an important aspect of living with perimenopause and menopause. Massage may reduce stress and promote healthy circulation and general relaxation.
