Chinese Medicine Support for Menopause and its Symptoms

Chinese Medicine, with its rich history spanning thousands of years, has provided holistic treatments for a myriad of ailments, and menopause is no exception. Menopause, a natural biological process, marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles.

While it’s a rite of passage for every woman, it is often accompanied by various physical and emotional symptoms that can be challenging. In the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menopause is not viewed as a disease, but rather a transition marked by a decline in the Kidney essence or “Jing”. TCM focuses on restoring the balance of this essence and harmonizing the body’s internal energies or “Qi” to alleviate menopausal symptoms.
