Women's menopause conditioning "three steps"

The age of menopause for Chinese women is about 49 years old. Before menopause, ovarian function gradually declines and estrogen levels drop. Women with significantly decreased estrogen may experience symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, irritability, and menstrual disorders. Chinese medicine believes that this is a manifestation of kidney yin deficiency. The time and length of the onset of menopause varies from person to person. Some women may go through this stage smoothly, while others may be troubled by these symptoms repeatedly. This is when you need to take care of your body.
