Patients experience symptoms such as flushed cheeks, dry throat, hot flashes (a burst of heat) and night sweats (abnormal sweating after going to sleep and stopping after waking up). Medications (Tianwangxin Tonic Dan, Zuogui Pill, etc.) or acupuncture can be given under the guidance of a physician after consultation.
