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.

What are the symptoms?
What are the most common symptoms of menopause?

At menopause itself (absence of menstruation for 12 months), imbalances can worsen:

Hot flashes and night sweats
Vaginal dryness
Insomnia, waking up during the night
Loss of libido
Weight gain, slowed metabolism
Joint pain
Mood swings, nervousness, sadness

Chinese medicine and menopause:
a holistic and natural approach

Traditional Chinese medicine considers that each woman goes through this transition in her own way. The goal is not only to make the symptoms disappear, but to deeply rebalance the body's energies.

This is what we offer in our expert center for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Geneva, combining ancestral knowledge and innovative therapies.

Acupuncture to naturally relieve menopausal symptoms

Acupuncture is one of the most effective treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support menopause:

It regulates hormonal functions
It improves sleep and calms hot flashes
It balances emotions and reduces irritability
It stimulates vital energy to reduce fatigue

Why consult a doctor as early as pre-menopause?

The earlier you start listening to your body, the easier it is to prevent deep imbalances. Chinese medicine during perimenopause can slow the effects of aging, maintain your energy, and prepare you serenely for menopause.

  My first acupuncture experience with Ms. Shi was a success: I felt completely at ease in her hands. She is both a great listener and very direct: as she so aptly puts it, "For those who want to keep sleeping, I'm a nuisance; for those who want to get better, I have the key!" I, who was afraid of needles, discovered that it is actually a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Special mention to Mr. Pierre for his cranial massage: his delicate touch and comforting words complemented the treatment beautifully. A huge thank you! 🙏
