Life In The 50s
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: If you're feeling a bit down about rounding the corner and coming into your 50th birthday, just remember this: your 20s are for partying and mistakes, your 30s for going for what you want, your 40s for working out the kinks. This leaves your 50s for taking all those experiences and making them work to your best advantage. Your 50s is your time to live your life with gusto - travel, buy a motorcycle, climb that mountain, take those classes. Make this decade YOUR own!

Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Drug-Free Method And The Treatment of Menopause
Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Drug-Free Method And The Treatment of Menopause The combined modalities of Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can balance the body’s energetics and expediently give relief to menopausal symptoms.
Part Two of a Two Part Blog
Traditional Chinese Medicine does not recognize menopause as a disease. Rather, it considers the symptoms of menopause to be imbalances within the body. After a complete medical intake and examination, several modalities (Acupuncture, Chinese herbal remedies, gentle breathing and physical exercises, and meditation) may be employed to effectively treat a woman in this stage of life to alleviate and ultimately eliminate the symptoms she is experiencing. Some dietary and lifestyle modifications may be recommended. As each female is very different, so will each woman’s treatment differ from another. One treatment, each week, for 12 weeks is par for the course. During the course of the 12 weeks, slight modifications are made to the treatment plan as the condition of the patient transforms. After the twelfth session, the patient’s condition is re-evaluated.
Clinical Trials of Acupuncture and Menopause
Clinical studies have suggested that acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are effective treatments for the various symptoms of menopause. The World Health Organization has approved acupuncture as a treatment modality for symptoms associated with menopause.
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: A Few Helpful Hints for a Smooth Ride through Menopause
Before you arrive at this stage of life, if you’re carrying around that extra 10 pounds, then lose them now. No time like the present! Introduce and/or increase into your daily diet more fruits and veggies and cut out the sugar. Sugar will destabilize your moods and cause you to become a ’loose cannon’ Dairy, high concentrations of red meats, alcohol, spicy foods and caffeine can contribute to more hot flashes than you’d like to have…so be judicious with these food choices. If you smoke…QUIT!!! No one needs to have stress in their lives, especially when ovulation ceases, so take the dog for more walks - dogs are great stress busters, meditate, treat yourself to a manicure, pedicure or a nice warm bubble bath, and there’s nothing like sharing some great laughs with your girlfriends. You’re not alone…all the ladies can relate to this time of life. So relax…it’s just a normal process. You’re not getting older; think of yourself as a fabulous bottle of red wine - as it ages and matures, it becomes bolder, better, effervescent and appreciated and valued in high esteem!

Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Drug-Free Method And The Treatment of Menopause
Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Drug-Free Method And The Treatment of Menopause
Part One of a Two Part Blog
In 2002, a government-funded study called the Women's Health Initiative raised grave and serious concerns about HRT's (Hormone Replacement Therapy) benefits and risks. These concerns led to nearly two-thirds of women who were on HRT to cease treatment. HRT is a hormonal replacement treatment that will increase a woman’s natural hormone levels. Estrogen-alone therapy (ET) is prescribed for women who have had a hysterectomy. Estrogen with progesterone therapy (EPT) is prescribed for women who experience menopause naturally.
So, What Happens During Menopause? Estrogen (working with progesterone) helps the body to process calcium (important for bone strength), helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and a healthy vagina. When menopause begins, the levels of natural estrogen and progesterone decrease rapidly and drastically. This is what causes the symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, mood changes, and insomnia. It is at this time that there can also be the risk of osteoporosis. Women who are experiencing a naturally occurring menopause should not take estrogen replacement, because can increase the risk of developing cancer of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). Unnaturally high amounts of estrogen at this time of life can cause an overgrowth of uterine cells, which can lead to cancer. The addition of progesterone therapy decreases the risk of endometrial cancer by causing the endometrium to shed each month – but should a woman really be playing with nature in this manner? Nature has a very strange way of repelling and battling against anything foreign to it, and HRT can be deemed foreign to the immune system.

Learn how you could eliminate hot flashes, night sweats and a dry vagina in just a few weeks with Chinese Medicine.
