1/15/20251 min read


Menopause in Chinese medicine is a natural shift between the two energies of Yin and Yang. Where the Yin energies of a woman will naturally begin to wane. As Yin wanes the exuberant energetics of Yang is notable! Yin and Yang are complete opposites, yet mutually dependent. Whilst Yang represents: Warming, Energising, Stimulating and Circulating.
As Yin begins to slowly wane; these cooling, lubricating, Moistening, Calming qualities begin to dwindle in our bodies and will respond to the raising signs and symptoms of Yang. When the word ‘Yang’ is mentioned, think of heat!
What does heat do in nature? Just as heat can dry up a river bed, it can lead to dryness in the body, symptoms such as dry skin, dehydration and dry mouth. In an arid Desert landscape you can see the heat naturally rise up. As heat rises in our bodies, where is the furthest point? The head! Symptoms such as red eyes, headaches, insomnia and hot flushes are common with the menopause! Heat is stimulating, there is movement, this is experienced as Mood Swings or restlessness.
