Relief of Symptoms from Menopausal Syndrome with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine

Patient, female, 52 years old. Chief complaints: she was experiencing a few symptoms from her menopausal syndrome. She felt very hot on her body when sleeping in the evening and had to use a fan to cool her body down even in the winter and the heat was on. Both of her lower legs were twitching in the afternoon and even worse in the evening when she were sleeping. She did not have a good sleep every night before the treatment. As a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) and Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCMP), Dennis treated her with acupuncture, together with Chinese Herbal Medicine. When the patient came back the following week after her first treatment, she said that the twitching of her two lower legs was almost gone, she no longer had hot flashes and she no longer needed the fan to cool her body down. With two treatments of acupuncture, combining with Chinese Herbal Medicine, her symptoms of feeling hot on her body and twitching of her lower legs from menopausal syndrome were completely gone and she was able to have a good sleep every night.
