Is Ganmai Dazao Soup suitable for menopause?

Ganmai Dazao Decoction is more suitable for women in menopause, because it can effectively improve some discomforts or menopausal syndrome in menopause, and can also better regulate our emotions and irritability.

1. Experts say that menopause is a transitional period in which a woman's ovarian function gradually declines from a vigorous state to complete disappearance, including menopause and a period before and after menopause. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "perimenopausal syndrome."

2. Female menopause is caused by aging and increasingly obvious kidney deficiency, which leads to the deficiency of Qi in the Ren and Chong meridians that are responsible for menstruation and fertility, resulting in a natural deficiency of substances that produce menstruation. Therefore, kidney deficiency is the root cause of menopause. In addition, because women have richer, more delicate and sensitive emotions, their emotions in life are easily affected by external things and environments, and are more changeable and fluctuating. Traditional Chinese medicine has always believed that changes in a person's emotions are closely related to the liver. People with excessive liver qi tend to have an irritable temperament, while people with stagnant liver qi tend to be sentimental, depressed and have chest tightness. Because kidney deficiency affects the normal function of the liver in menopausal women, they are prone to losing control of their emotions and becoming emotionally unstable.
