Natural Relief of Menopause

“Over the last three months, my sleep quality has significantly declined. I struggle to fall asleep and only manage three to four hours each night. The combination of hot flashes, night sweats, occasional anxiety, and bouts of depression makes it feel like I’m living in hell”, Elizabeth complained tearfully to Dr. Fung.

Menopause marks a crucial moment in a woman’s life. How to gracefully navigate this stage is a topic worthy of in-depth exploration. Dr. Fung often employs traditional Chinese medicine to address menopausal syndrome, aiding women in smoothly traversing this challenging period.

Based on the patient’s physical condition, Dr. Fung adopts various treatment methods. For menopausal syndromes caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency, the approach typically involves nourishing the liver and kidneys while clearing away virtual heat. Anxiety-prone patients may undergo liver-soothing and qi-regulating treatments. In cases of mental confusion and a tendency to cry, Dr. Fung employs treatments to calm the mind and nourish the spirit. For those who are talkative, mentally agitated, and have difficulty sleeping, Dr. Fung nourishes the yin of the heart and lungs to eliminate menopausal symptoms.

Based on Elizabeth’s symptoms, along with her tongue and pulse examination, Dr. Fung’s Chinese medicine diagnosis is liver stagnation and kidney deficiency. After a month of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Elizabeth’s sleep has improved, and issues with hot flashes and night sweats have disappeared, bringing about a renewed mental state.

In addition to treating menopausal syndrome, Dr. Fung also assists patients in gradually discontinuing hormonal therapy for menopause. For those with related concerns, feel free to call 816-842-6868 to consult with Dr. Fung.
