Case Histories - Menopausal Syndrome (10)
A 55-year-old woman had been suffering from menopausal symptoms
for about two years. Her periods had stopped since about two years.
Her main symptoms were hot flushes and headaches. Her tongue was
slightly Red and slightly peeled on the sides, towards the root.
Her pulse was Weak on the right and Wiry on the left.
Diagnosis
Although this patient does not present with many symptoms, the few
symptoms which she does have clearly point to deficiency of Liver-Yin
and rising of Liver-Yang. It is interesting that, although she suffers
from menopausal symptoms, there are absolutely so symptoms of Kidney
deficiency: she suffered no backache, no dizziness, no tinnitus,
no urinary problems.
Treatment
Given the deficiency of Liver-Yin and rising of Liver-Yang, I chose
Female Treasure which nourishes Liver-
and Kidney-Yin and subdues Liver-Yang. The dosage used was 2 tablets
twice a day with hot water after meals. This remedy produced a good
improvement after one month. |
