Certainly hormonal issues are very commonly treated with acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Our menopause treatment page has some of the more common approaches for acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Proper treatment, however, requires proper diagnosis within Chinese Medicine terms - for more on this see (“treating the cause vs the symptoms”). To get a proper recommendation, then, you should consult with a licensed practitioner in your area. You will generally get the best results with both acupuncture and properly chosen herbal medicine and you should see positive changes within 2-5 months.
