One of the most common and easily treatable health conditions I see is menopause. The actual term menopause refers to two primary conditions. Night sweats and Hot flashes. If you were to take away these two conditions, menopause would simple be an end to your menstrual cycle. Quietly and peacefully.

Let me first tell you what Chinese herbal medicine can do for menopause, and then I will break it down into Chinese medicine theory, if you choose to follow along tell the end.

Chinese medicinal herbal formulas can get rid of your hot flashes and night sweats permanently. The results are instant.

First, Chinese herbal medicine is all about balance. When you have hot flashes and night sweats, it’s because you have too much internal heat right? Well, it may not be that simple. In Chinese medicine theory, we know that hot flashes and night sweats are due to heat. But we have to differentiate between ‘excessive’ heat in the body or ‘deficient’ heat in the body. If you think in terms of the symbol of YIN and YANG, you realize the entire universe, including the human body, is in a state of flux and balance. Health equals balance. When you get out of balance, you have health conditions.

The female body is made of YIN (blood, sweat, tears) and YANG (energy, nervous system, heart rate, internal heat). When the YIN part of the body is low, what happens? The YANG side starts to show up unchecked and ungrounded. So, you start to run hot. And you get hot flashes. Literally the female body starts to dry out from the moment she starts her menstrual cycle as a teenager. Through childbirth, excessive exercise, dehydration, or organs that are not functioning properly to turn water into blood, sweat and tears, a woman will eventually get so dry, that she triggers menopause. Even if she’s in her 30’s.

It’s simply a lack of precious fluids in the body, and an overpowering of the YANG energy of the body.

So how do we treat it? We simply give you Chinese herbal formulas that increase your yin, and your body’s ability to make yin, and at the same time we decrease the yang. The result? Your hot flashes stop, and your night sweats go away. Now as simple as it seems, there is actually a lot of theory that goes behind it. Especially since most Chinese medicine practioners have thousands of formulas to choose from. And finding which one works perfectly for you specifically is an art.
