Hello, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner and a pharmacist.
At that time, I was entangled in secular affairs and didn't have much time. I simply replied that I could consider soaking in water with Chinese medicine Cortex Lycii instead of making tea.
Then I was busy with something else.
But at the moment, I suddenly feel that my reply seems a bit perfunctory.
This medicine, Cortex Lycii, is sweet and cold in nature, and can clear away deficiency and heat, treat hot flashes due to yin deficiency and night sweats due to bone steaming. Hyperhidrosis caused by yin deficiency of liver and kidney in menopause can be treated with it.
But, to be honest, it is cowardly to take medicine blindly.
I think I should tell readers something more direct.
Now, I hope this friend can see the little prescription I said below:
Preparation: Radix Rehmanniae 15g, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae 12g, 50g of japonica rice, and appropriate amount of rock sugar.
Put Radix Rehmanniae and mashed Semen Ziziphi Spinosae (both raw and cooked) into a pot, add 500 ml of water, boil for about 30 minutes, then pour out the liquid medicine, filter with gauze, and discard the residue.
Use this potion and add some water to cook porridge.
The porridge is ready. Season with rock sugar.
Take this medicinal porridge twice a day, one bowl at a time, and take it warmly at breakfast and dinner.
Of course, if you don't think it's too much trouble, just use mashed Ziziphus jujuba seeds and Radix Rehmanniae instead of soaking tea in water, okay? It's okay. But it feels worse than cooking porridge.
This method originated in Taiping Sheng Huifang. This is a practical menopause porridge that I know.
Let me tell you the truth here.
Many menopausal women, there will be "multi-year-old triad", that is, annoyance, insomnia, love sweating.
The so-called annoyance includes annoyance in the heart, irritability, fever in the hands and feet, and bouts of burning on the face.
Insomnia refers to difficulty in falling asleep, dreaminess after sleeping, easy to wake up, and more difficult to fall asleep after waking up.
The so-called love sweating is mostly night sweats. Some people sweat in the afternoon.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, most of these situations are caused by yin deficiency of liver and kidney. Yin deficiency leads to deficiency heat. Deficiency heat disturbs the heart, leading to irritability and sleep disorder. Deficiency and heat along the two meridians of heart and kidney will make hands and feet hot. When the deficiency heat is steamed on the surface, you will blush and get hot.
Deficiency heat forces body fluid to flow out, so people are more likely to sweat.
Looking at the tongue, the surface of the tongue is often relatively red, with less moss and thin pulse. Some people may have tongue ulcers, dry mouth and dry eyes.
What shall we do? The combination of Rehmannia glutinosa and Ziziphus jujuba seeds is more suitable.
These two drugs are actually typical drug pairs, and Chinese medicine often takes them together. Rehmannia glutinosa, nourishing the yin of liver and kidney, can also nourish the heart yin, clear away heat and soothe the nerves, and can greatly improve the condition of internal heat due to yin deficiency.
Ziziphus jujuba seed is a kind of medicine, which can nourish the blood of heart and liver, restrain sweat and promote sleep. It's good for people who sweat a lot and sleep badly.
Therefore, the combination of these two medicines has a regulatory effect on the "three-year triple" of menopausal women.
I wrote this little method for readers' reference.
Before using it, we should be careful and dialectical. Climacteric syndrome, although yin deficiency of liver and kidney is the most common, is not all. Some people, it is not suitable to use the method of matching wild jujube seeds with raw land to deal with it. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to see Chinese medicine and make clear the symptoms.
Of course, even if I write these out, it may not help you. But I think, since some readers care about this issue and ask me, I should keep talking seriously. In this way, at least be worthy of yourself.
