Loose and dry skin, weight fluctuations, muscle loss, and persistent fatigue—these are common struggles many women face, especially during the menopausal transition. This phase of life, often accompanied by hormonal changes, can significantly impact overall well-being.

According to Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), there are three crucial periods in a woman's life—puberty, post-childbirth, and menopause—when special attention to health can enhance vitality and beauty. Making mindful adjustments during these transitions can lead to profound improvements in physical and emotional health.

Menopause does not mark the end of vitality; rather, it can trigger feelings of accelerated aging, primarily due to a significant drop in estrogen levels. This hormone plays a vital role in maintaining skin elasticity through collagen production. In the years leading up to menopause, women can lose up to 30% of their collagen, resulting in sensitive, dry, and sagging skin. Conventional moisturizers may provide little solace as the skin struggles to cope with these changes.

TCM views menopause as a natural phase of life rather than a pathological condition. However, individual differences—alongside stress and environmental factors—can disrupt the balance of yin and yang, leading to various discomforts. TCM advocates for holistic approaches to treatment, such as herbal remedies and acupuncture, to restore balance by promoting qi and blood circulation and nourishing the kidneys.
