Many women experiencing hot flashes, night sweats and other uncomfortable symptoms of menopause can get relief from some common Chinese herbal remedies that have been used for centuries.

One in particular, called Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan, is composed of eight Chinese herbs. It is frequently used by licensed providers of acupuncture and Asian medicine to address “change of life” symptoms. Chinese Foxglove and Cornelian Cherry are two components of this traditional remedy. Often dispensed in a tea, pills or small granules, Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan is just one of many possibilities for women seeking alternatives or supplemental care to conventional Western care.

Traditional Chinese medicine offers acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, often used in combination. In addition to herbal care, acupuncture can address pain, nausea, fatigue and other symptoms of hormonal imbalance affecting menstruating and menopausal women.

In addition to menopause treatment, many women in the United States are increasingly using acupuncture and Asian medicine for additional gynecological problems, including fertility support. To find a licensed provider, always look for the “L.Ac.” credential, which stands for Licensed Acupuncturist.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, reproductive function is governed by the kidneys. Sufficient energy in a woman’s kidneys is necessary for fertility, libido, regeneration of the entire body, and tissue elasticity and strength.

At puberty, a woman’s kidney energy increases, sending excess blood to the uterus. During her reproductive years, the kidneys supply enough blood for fertility, but as a woman matures, the blood flow from her kidneys diminishes, leading to menopause. Menopausal problems occur when kidney energy is depleted and cannot sustain the rest of the body. In other words, the body’s vital life energy, or qi, (in particular the kidney energy) is out of balance.

During the perimenopausal years the Chinese believe that there is an increase in the active, dry, hot element called yang energy. Before thirty-five, a woman is more yin (moist, receptive, passive) but during the change of life her yang begins to express itself She becomes more passionate about ideas, quicker to anger, faster to defend herself or others. As more “hot” yang energy begins to move through the acupuncture meridians, at first the flow is kind of jerky as we get accustomed to using the new energy. Those jerky manifestations of rising yang give rise to hot flashes. But as the meridians open to the yang energy and we get used to using it, so the theory goes, the flow stabilizes.

According to the forty-nine different cultural traditions that base their medicine on life-force energy, when we have a lot of stress, either through poor diet and lack of exercise, or because of poor coping skills, the life-force energy can’t flow smoothly through the meridians. In that case the flow of energy would have a hard time stabilizing and hot flashes would persist.

This imbalance may be corrected by any combination of herbal therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, dietary changes, and qigong. Hot flashes and anxiety are considered a weakness of the heart; irregular menstrual flow and irritability a weakness of the liver; heavy menstrual bleeding and food cravings a weakness of the spleen.

In traditional Chinese medicine, numerous herbal formulas reportedly can alleviate hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and menstrual irregularities. In TCM, herbal formulas resorted to for hot flash relief- such as Two Immortal Decoction, Rehmannia Six Formula, and Geng Nian Formula-aren’t employed simply for the relief of an isolated symptom, it is used to treat the whole person. Traditionally, the prescribing of these formulas is based on a constellation of signs and symptoms that a person presents. For a woman complaining of hot flashes, a recommended formula might depend upon whether she also displayed an agitated or subdued manner, a pale or pink tongue, robustness or weakness, and numerous other features that indicate her overall health.

Most Chinese formulas are available in pill form and contain natural ingredients such as rehmannia (a yam species), dong quai, oyster shell mineral, white peony (from the tree), and ophiopogon (a variety of asparagus root). Their mixtures have been handed down, generation to generation, for centuries, but they have received little scrutiny from Western medicine.

Chinese herbs commonly used for menopause include:

Chinese herbs are often prescribed in combination mixtures that are individualized to the patient’s situation.

Acupuncture is particularly effective in easing annoying hot flashes and night sweats.

A traditional Chinese physician will perform an extensive examination, which often includes questioning, an analysis of the diet, feeling the pulse, and examining the tongue. Then he or she will tailor a menopause treatment program specifically for you. Do not undertake self treatment without first consulting a qualified physician.
