Three Approaches to Alleviate Menopausal Symptoms Naturally

The Chinese women do not fear this stage in life, possibly because they do not experience the adverse symptoms as the American women do. They do not consider it something to develop anxiety over nor is it an illness needing some medication. This stage of change is embraced and found to be deeply valued as they enter the new stage of life.

The steps that TCM typically take in order to help women going through various menopausal phases are quite simple: diet, acupuncture, and herbs.

1. Dietary therapy – Food is considered a medicine and a fundamental process in part of any diagnosis and treatment. Studies show that a diet rich in phytoestrogens can reduce the adverse symptoms associated with menopause.
2. Acupuncture – In combination with Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture has been found to be the most effective level of treatment. Studies have shown that this method is effective and offers an alternative to hormone replacement therapy.
3. Chinese Herbal Medicine – Women with any deficiencies or imbalances in the body are considered to have a higher chance to develop the risk of menopausal symptoms in the future. The Chinese practitioner can tell which organ in the body is most effective from the deficiency and will work to address the problem with herbal remedies.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can also help treat women who develop menopause like symptoms such as irregular menstruation, black spots on face, and acne after stopping birth control pills.
