4 Menopausal Tips

Are you having your own personal summer?  Are your periods getting irregular?  Do you feel cranky without any explanation?  If you are in your late 40’s or early 50’s, there is a chance you are beginning menopause.  

The famous Chinese Medicine Classic “Nei Jing Su Wen” said that at the age of 49, women’s Tian Kui and Chong Channel become weakened and the period stops. It is a climacteric time for women and to take care of the body. 

It is very possible to go through this period with much fewer problems and to pave the road for better health for the years to come.

Here are a few tips to help you:

*Dress in layers. If you have a hot flash, you can take off an outer layer without being embarrassed.  

*Try to quit smoking if you are a smoker and limit alcohol consumption.  

*Incorporate regular exercise and eat balanced meals into your daily routine.  

*Add soybeans into your diet.  

The good news is that acupuncture and herbal medicine can help you naturally go through menopause. Acupuncture helps to balance our body and mind.     Acupuncture sends the impulse to the brain and produces the feedback reflex to correct the imbalanced homeostasis.  At the same time, acupuncture relaxes the brain and promotes the release of neurotransmitters.
