TCM views menopause as a natural transition involving Kidney Yin and Yang imbalance, with symptoms arising from disrupted energy flow rather than hormonal deficiency requiring replacement.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menopause symptoms often arise from an imbalance in Kidney Yin and Yang, which govern aging, hormones, and reproductive function. Emotional stress, overwork, or long-term depletion can further disrupt the balance of Liver Qi and Heart Fire, leading to heat sensations, irritability, and insomnia.
