Nourishing the liver with Chinese Medicines

Hot flashes - a common symptom during midlife transition

According to Chinese practitioners, problems during midlife transition are due to deficiency of kidney Qi and heavenly dew, leading to an imbalance of Yin and Yang. As deficiency of kidney Qi appears when you are getting old, which happens in both genders. Therefore, problems during midlife transition do not appear in female only. However, why do this seldom happen in male? In western medicine theory, different stages in entire life of women are closely related to hormone levels. Therefore, the influence to women will be the most obvious during the fluctuated midlife transition period. The symptoms can be improved by taking Chinese medicine or food therapy.
