Our Approach to Menopause Symptom Relief:
What is TCM menopause relief
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menopause is viewed as a natural transition in a woman's life. TCM has a holistic approach that considers the balance and flow of energy (Qi) and the interplay of Yin and Yang within the body. Menopause is seen as a shift in these fundamental energies, leading to a reorganisation of the body's systems
Common Symptoms of Menopause
Menopause is a natural biological process for women. It typically occurs in the late 40s or early 50s, and the transition can bring about various physical and emotional changes. Common symptoms of menopause include:
Irregular Menstrual Cycles - One of the first signs of approaching menopause is often irregularity in menstrual cycles. Periods may become shorter, longer, heavier, or lighter.
Hot Flashes - Sudden and intense feelings of heat, often accompanied by sweating and a flushed face, are common during menopause. Hot flashes can be a hallmark symptom.
Night Sweats - Night sweats involve intense sweating during sleep. These can disrupt sleep patterns and contribute to insomnia.
Mood Swings - Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can contribute to mood swings, irritability, and feelings of anxiety or sadness.
Sleep Disturbances - Changes in hormone levels may disrupt sleep patterns, leading to difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep.
Weight Gain - Some women may experience weight gain or changes in body composition during menopause, often attributed to hormonal changes and a slowing metabolism.
Fatigue - Hormonal changes, sleep disturbances, and other menopausal symptoms can contribute to feelings of fatigue and low energy.
Joint and Muscle Pain - Menopause can be associated with joint and muscle pain, which may be linked to hormonal changes and aging.
Memory and Concentration Issues - Some women report difficulties with memory, concentration, and cognitive function during menopause, often referred to as "menopausal brain fog."
Changes in Hair and Skin - Thinning hair, dry skin, and changes in the texture of hair and skin are common during menopause.
Urinary Changes - Menopause can contribute to changes in the urinary tract, including an increased risk of urinary tract infections and incontinence.
Causes of Menopause Symptoms from TCM Perspective
Yin and Yang Imbalance 阴阳失调
TCM emphasises the balance of Yin (representing the cooling, nourishing, and feminine aspects) and Yang (representing the warming, active, and masculine aspects) energies in the body. Menopause is often associated with a decline in Yin, leading to an imbalance with Yang. TCM treatments aim to restore this balance.
Kidney Essence 肾精减少
In TCM, the Kidneys are considered the root of Yin and Yang energy. As a woman ages, there is a natural decline in the Kidney's essence, which is believed to govern reproduction and growth. Menopause is seen as a time when this essence diminishes, leading to changes in hormonal balance and the cessation of menstruation.
Liver Qi Stagnation 肝气郁滞
TCM recognises the role of the liver in regulating the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy). During menopause, hormonal fluctuations can contribute to Liver Qi stagnation, which may manifest as emotional symptoms like irritability and mood swings. TCM therapies aim to address this stagnation.
Blood Deficiency 血虚
Menopause is often associated with a decline in the quality and quantity of blood in TCM. This may lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, and dryness. Herbal remedies and acupuncture are commonly used to tonify the blood and alleviate these symptoms.

General Enquiry
TCM herbal formulations may include TCM herbs that tonify the Kidney Yin and nourish Blood.
TCM herbal formulations should be prescribed by a qualified TCM practitioner based on an individual's specific pattern of disharmony and constitution.
TCM often recommends lifestyle changes such as dietary adjustments, stress management, and regular exercise to support menopausal well-being.
Foods that nourish yin and blood, such as dark leafy greens, root vegetables, beans, seeds, and nuts, may be particularly beneficial for menopausal wellness.
Yes, TCM treatments can be adapted to complement HRT, offering additional support and addressing aspects that may not be covered by conventional therapies.
It is important for women considering TCM treatments while on HRT to communicate openly with both their TCM practitioner and healthcare provider. Collaboration between healthcare providers ensures comprehensive care.
TCM practitioners consider medical history and customise treatments to ensure safety, making adjustments when necessary for women with hormone-sensitive conditions.
While some TCM treatments, such as acupuncture and certain herbal formulations, may offer relief from menopausal symptoms without directly impacting hormone levels, others may contain herbs or compounds that could potentially interact with hormone-sensitive conditions or treatments. Therefore, it's crucial for women with hormone-sensitive conditions to consult with both their specialist managing their condition and a qualified TCM practitioner before starting any TCM treatment for menopause relief.
