Since Traditional Chinese medicine theory is based on the harmony of internal energies which described as balances of Yin & Yang, we can easily deduce the post-menopause syndrome arises from an imbalance of Yin and Yang. As women's body getting lose more Yin (passive, yielding, cold) enegy as they approach menopause which is caused by the deficiency of female hormons in the Western Medicine perspective, the more Yang (energetic, aggressive, heat) side overtakes the whole body system and suppresses on Yin energy further more and eventually depletes it. The consequences of these process can be manifested as the typical post-menopausal symtoms like Hot Flashes, Warm feeling at night time, Night Sweats, Insomnia, constipation & Irritability.
Although there are many conventional therapies available and easily approcheable, they all contain harful side effects.
And that is the main reason that many people turn to more safe and proven therapies such as Oriental Medicine treatments which can be a huge benefit to most women's health conditions.
In fact, gynecological problems have been treated with acupuncture for over 2000 years, and for 5000 years with herbal medicine successfully.
Oriental Medicine holds that mind and body are one, and considers the whole woman and her experience of life in diagnosis. These life experiences, especially when out of balance and not dealt with properly, can manifest as disease in the body, and especially as gynecological problems in women.
By taking netural herbal supplements which can boost up your Yin energy to readjust the broken balances and treat the root problem of the issue, you also can get benefited by seeing an Acupuncturist regularly to get consultation on diet, life style & treatment and maintain the healthy life for longer period of time.
Here are 7 things you can do if you are experiencing post-menopausal symtoms:
1) Cut back on your sugar intake. Not only it makes you gain weight, it does not do any good to your body except for elevating glucose level which leads to Diabete ultimately.
2) Defintely cut back on caffein-packed drinks such as coffee, soda & carbonated energy drinks.
3) Stop smoking! You MUST kick this nasty habit no matter what.
4) Eat more tryptophan-rich foods such as turkey, bananas, figs, whole grain crackers, figs, and dates.
5) Eat more foods rich in phyto-estrogens and progesterones: soy flours and beans, red clover sprouts, yams, and linseed. These are perfect foods for women who are about to go into or going through the menopause. It literally eliminates the need of taking cancer-inducing chemical medications.
6) Try eat at least 5 Almonds & 5 Walnuts a day.
7) Don't forget the exercise!!! You must do at least 30 mintues per day exercise.
