Menopause and pre-menopause:
Symptoms, causes and natural solutions in Chinese medicine

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), menopause and pre-menopause are not perceived as a "loss" but as an important energetic transition, where the body asks to be listened to and supported with kindness.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menopause is linked to a progressive weakening of the Kidney, the pillar of our vitality, and to an imbalance between Yin and Yang. Chinese medicine offers natural and personalized solutions to relieve menopausal symptoms, as well as to prevent imbalances from the first signs of perimenopause.

Pre-menopause: when do the first signs appear?

The pre-menopauseMenopausal transition, also called the menopausal phase, can begin as early as age 40. It often develops gradually with:

  • Irregular cycles
  • More pronounced fatigue
  • Mood or sleep disorders
  • Irritability, widespread anxiety
  • The first hot flashes

In Chinese medicine, these manifestations are often a sign of a void of Yin, a weakening of Kidney energy or an imbalance between the Qi (vital energy) and Blood.
