Health for All says
First of all, after menopause, due to the decline of ovarian function, endocrine disorders can be caused. This can lead to some uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, etc. In TCM theory, this is due to the imbalance of yin and yang, and the decline of liver and kidney function, and these symptoms can be alleviated by regulating the endocrine balance. For example, you can take more ingredients that have the effect of nourishing yin and reducing fire in your diet, such as mung beans, lilies, white fungus, etc., and combine them with traditional Chinese medicine, such as angelica, salvia, etc.
In addition, after menopause, women can experience a decline in estrogen levels due to decreased ovarian function. This can lead to a range of bone problems, such as osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bone health is closely related to liver and kidney function, and can be prevented and strengthened through traditional Chinese medicine. For example, you can choose some Chinese herbal medicines, such as Polygonum multiflori, epimedium and so on, with appropriate exercises, such as tai chi, qigong, etc., to protect bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
In addition, women are also at increased risk of cardiovascular disease after menopause. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cardiovascular diseases are related to the accumulation of dampness and blood stasis in the body, and the poor flow of qi and blood. Therefore, some traditional Chinese medicines can be selected to have the effects of invigorating blood, dispelling dampness, and strengthening the spleen, such as peach kernels, tangerine peel, hawthorn, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen exercise, control the diet properly, avoid excessive intake of fatty foods, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
For women to survive this stage after menopause, TCM emphasizes maintaining a peaceful mind. Due to changes in the body's endocrine system, it is easy to experience symptoms such as mood swings and irritability. At this time, you can use moxibustion, acupuncture, massage and other traditional Chinese medicine** to regulate the body and relieve these uncomfortable symptoms. In addition, the right diet and lifestyle Xi are also very important. Maintaining a regular schedule, exercising moderately, and staying in a good mood can all help women get through this stage of the race.
After menopause, a series of changes will occur in the body, such as hot flashes, osteoporosis, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Through the conditioning methods of traditional Chinese medicine, these symptoms can be alleviated and the quality of life can be improved. However, each woman's physical condition is different, so it is best to consult a professional TCM practitioner when conditioning, and individualize it according to your specific situation**.
