If, like many women, you are plagued by menopausal symptoms it can be difficult to find relief without strong hormonal treatments which are unfortunately not suitable for everyone. So what does Chinese Medicine say about the menopause?
In TCM its all about having the right balance, particularly yin and yang, the balance of feminine and masculine energy, respectively. As we age, and especially at menopause, a woman's yin energy weakens, allowing yang energy to increase and 'take over' to some extent.
Yin is responsible for cooling, soothing, night time, restoration, moisture, peace of mind. The deficiency of yin at menopause naturally leads to the opposite of this! Hot flushes, feeling too warm, too dry, anxiety, insomnia and fatigue. The body's yin and yang energies are totally out of balance and the symptoms are often quite dramatic.
ZHAOHAI is an acupoint that precisely works to strengthen Yin and treat menopausal symptoms. It clears away the deficiency and can significantly reduce the frequency of hot flushes in just a few treatments.
I believe it is a fantastic treatment for any woman who is approaching or going through the change and can thoroughly recommend it for hot flushes, anxiety and insomnia associated with the menopause.
