Menopausal hot flashes (bouts of heat) and sweating a dozen times a day are not normal and are a sign of Yin deficiency and internal heat.
The corresponding symptoms of menopause in Chinese medicine are called “pre and post menopausal symptoms”. In the seventh year of a woman’s life, her kidney qi gradually declines from strength to strength, her decadal period gradually ends, and her Chong Ren vein gradually becomes deficient. When a woman’s emotional state is not satisfied (her moods are not happy), and when her labor and leisure are out of balance, her body is affected, and her yin and yang become partial and weakened.
When a woman’s kidney yin is deficient, the yin fluid’s nourishing effect on the body is weakened and cannot restrain yang-heat, which leads to deficiency-heat symptoms such as dryness, heat, ascension, movement and too much Qi transformation, in which the yang qi is relatively over-exuberant.
This syndrome is mostly characterized by hot flashes and sweating, accompanied by dizziness, tinnitus, emotional restlessness, heat in the heart (heat in the hearts of the hands and feet, and self-consciousness of heat in the heart and chest), night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep, but sweating stops after waking up), dry mouth and throat, and soreness in the waist and knees (the sensation of soreness in the waist and knees), and other symptoms.
When women experience symptoms of menopausal hot flashes and sweating, they should consult a medical professional for medication.
