Hot flashes (flashes of heat) and sore throat during menopause can be regulated by taking Chinese herbs and acupuncture. 1. Taking Chinese medicine: Chinese medicine believes that hot flashes and sore throats in menopausal women are mostly related to deficiency of liver and kidney yin (insufficient yin in the liver and kidneys), and inflammation of deficiency fire. You can choose medications that nourish the liver and kidneys, clear heat and reduce fire, such as Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan. Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan has the efficacy of nourishing yin and lowering fire (nourishing yin essence and lowering fire), and can be used in the treatment of deficiency of yin in liver and kidney and inflammation of deficiency fire resulting in hot flashes and night sweating, dry mouth and sore throat, tinnitus and spermatorrhea, and urination and defecation (small amount of urination with dark yellow color). The adverse reactions and contraindications of the drug are not clear, but it should not be used by patients with cold and fever. 2. Acupuncture: Acupuncture points such as Zhaohai, Ashigaru, Sanyinjiao and Taichong can be chosen to clear heat and reduce fire, and nourish the liver and kidney. Patients with menopausal hot flashes and sore throats are advised to go to regular hospitals for treatment under the guidance of professional physicians who can identify the symptoms.
