The purpose of this article is to examine research in China database on Traditional Chinese Medicine procedures as an alternative treatment for menopausal symptoms. In addition to the use of hormone therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine can help to reduce the occurrence of side effects and the risk of various diseases in people who use high doses of hormone replacement therapy. According to a research study in China, the main procedures used to treat menopausal symptoms are including acupuncture (acupuncture points on the meridian), ear acupuncture, Gua Sha and Chinese herbal medicine. The most popular procedure is acupuncture combined with Chinese herbs. This is the most effective treatment that can balance the hormones and the function of the internal organs, smooth the Qi, stimulate blood circulation, balance the flow of meridians, and increases the vitality of kidney yin and kidney yang. It balances the yin and yang within the body, thereby reducing the symptoms of menopause effectively with less side effects. Studies have shown that Traditional Chinese Medicine has divided menopause into several groups. Therefore, it is necessary to study more about the frequently used acupuncture points, the guidelines for choosing acupuncture points in combination with the use of herbal medicines, as well as the procedures of the procedure that are suitable for each syndrome group in order to achieve the most effective treatment.
