Menopausal Symptoms
A natural way make your transition easy and smooth!
For many women, the term “menopause” brings up a lot of negative ideas: hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, mood changes… Most women associate menopause with getting old and have a really hard time as a consequence. In fact, menopause is not actually a disease or syndrome, and in a healthy individual, should happen naturally without any symptoms.
How does Chinese Medicine view Menopause
Menopausal symptoms may occur due to stress, poor diet or emotions (frustration, anger, resentment) which affects the body physically, These symptoms include: hot flashes, night sweats, chills, insomnia, poor memory, anxiety, depression, mood swings, vaginal dryness, low libido, joint/muscle pain, loss of bone mass, thinning hair, headaches, sluggish metabolism, and weight gain. In addition, long-term stress and overworking for many years affect adrenal and thyroid function, creating many of these symptoms.
How can Chinese Medicine treat Menopausal Symptoms?
Both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help to ease your body through your transition into menopause as well as alleviate any menopausal symptoms you are currently experiencing.
Acupuncture regulates your hypothalamus, the area of the brain that controls hormone production, body temperature, sleep, energy, and hunger - all of which can be negatively affected during menopause. Acupuncture also balances the pituitary gland, the "master gland" of your endocrine system which secretes hormones into your blood to regulate your thyroid, adrenals and reproductive organs. This prevents the development of adrenal fatigue or hypothyroidism, which are commonly seen in patients experiencing menopausal symptoms.
Chinese Herbal Medicine originated as the "emperor's medicine", used primarily by the emperors in China to increase longevity and enhance fertility. In fact, Chinese herbal medicine is truly the original anti-aging medicine! Chinese herbs are the perfect solution for menopausal symptoms. We create customized formulas to treat your specific symptoms, as well as target the root cause (stress, weak thyroid, emotions, adrenal fatigue).
