In outpatient clinics, some middle-aged women often come to see a doctor because of symptoms such as backache, flushing, palpitation, insomnia, depression, anxiety, emotional instability and irritability. Asking about medical history is often caused by menopausal syndrome. Climacteric syndrome is a series of symptoms caused by the decrease of estrogen level. Due to the slow decline of ovarian function, the body's self-regulation and compensation are enough to adapt to this change, and most women have only mild symptoms. However, some people do not adapt to this change, resulting in a series of different degrees of symptoms. Chinese medicine has a good effect in treating menopausal syndrome. Pressing Sanyinjiao every day is a good prescription that I often recommend to these middle-aged women.

To find the point of Sanyinjiao, we need to find the tip of the medial malleolus, put four fingers together except the thumb, and measure the width of these four fingers in the knee direction. The depression behind the calf bone is Sanyinjiao.

When pressing by hand, press on Sanyinjiao point with the tip of one hand, and press hard slowly.

If you feel that the strength is not enough, you can press hard in the direction of the bone, which will stimulate you more and have a better effect.

Sanyinjiao point refers to the three yin meridians of the foot, namely spleen meridian, liver meridian and kidney meridian, where qi and blood meet, hence the name Sanyinjiao point. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menopausal women are mostly yin deficiency, and it is very suitable to treat menopausal symptoms with Sanyinjiao point. Sanyinjiao point is widely used, which can strengthen the spleen and replenish blood, and also regulate the liver and kidney.

Other acupoints to improve menopausal symptoms Most women with severe menopausal symptoms are also deficient in blood, and they also need to replenish blood, so they can press the Xue Hai acupoints for replenishing blood together. Xue Hai point is on the upper side of the knee. You can bend your knees cross-legged, and cover the center of your knees with the palm of your opposite side. The thumb and forefinger are at a 45-degree angle, and the tip of your thumb is at the Xue Hai point.

When pressing manually, put the thumb end on Xue Hai point and press hard for 5 seconds to feel sore. Repeat 5 times.

Press the palm with massage; Hold a real fist in one hand, press and rub the palm of the other hand with your fingers or metacarpal joints until you feel that the pressed palm is hot, then change to the other hand and massage alternately.

Rub your forehead; When depressed, open your hands with your thumb opposite to the other four fingers; Put your hands on your forehead, put your four fingers on your forehead, put your thumb on the temple in front of your ears, and then slowly press and rub your four fingers, moving from the center of your forehead to your thumbs on both sides. Repeat the operation for a few minutes and stop when you feel refreshed.

A good mood can make people full of energy, increase appetite, sleep well and live a full life, which is of great benefit to improving disease resistance, promoting health and adapting to the changes of menopause.

Second, we should pay attention to diet and nutrition. Eat more coarse grains (millet, cereal, etc. ), beans, lean meat, milk, green leafy vegetables and fruits; Eat less salt (generally, the amount of salt should be halved) and avoid irritating foods, such as wine, coffee, strong tea and pepper.

Third, we should strengthen physical exercise. Advocate? Sushi, jogging and walking. Turnover can not only keep joints flexible, prevent osteoporosis, but also make people feel happy; Walking and jogging are both aerobic exercises, which can promote strong bones, lose weight and keep fit.
