Hello everyone, I am Zhou Guangbai, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and today we will talk about some problems of menopausal depression.
Menopausal depression is characterized by "compassion and desire to cry", so it can be included in the category of "dirty and irritable" in traditional Chinese medicine.
"Neijing" cloud: "The lungs are sad in the will, and their voice is crying", the depressed state presented, it is responsible for the liver, so the irritability is more responsible for the deficiency of lung qi, it is appropriate to use sweet wheat jujube soup to add or subtract the Lord, which has the effect of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, and the effect of relieving the emergency. This recipe is also specially designed for women to be "dirty and irritable" in "Jin Kui Yao", which relieves depression and calms the nerves and removes dirty irritability, and the effect can be seen.
I would like to share with you a case, Ms. Zheng, 52 years old, had this kind of menopausal reaction 5 years ago, such as hot sweating, difficulty falling asleep, dreaming a lot, waking up several times in the middle of the night, irritability, upset when looking at everything, and pain all over her body, feeling uncomfortable anywhere.
Her menopausal symptoms have been 5 years, Ms. Zheng thinks that menopause is quite a thing, and a year or two has passed, but she didn't expect it to drag on for 5 years, and the physical symptoms are also repeated, today is better and tomorrow will appear again, very painful.
At the first consultation, I asked her about her situation in detail, and there was no obvious cause of sadness, insomnia, dreams, sometimes crying, and muscle and joint pain all over her body. The tongue is pale red, pale and yellowish, and the pulse is thin and slightly astringent.
In view of her situation, the dialectic is liver depression and qi stagnation, and the mind is disturbed. So I also used one for her:
Astragalus membranaceus, Bupleurum chinensis, Salvia, red peony, Danpi, Angelica, licorice, Digupi, Huai wheat, Yuanzhi, jujube, raw oyster, white peony, tulip, citrus aurantium, Schisandra chinensis.
The whole recipe has the effect of soothing the liver and clearing heat, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the blood.
After a week, her insomnia, dreams, hot sweating and these symptoms were quickly relieved, and after two weeks, her body felt much more relaxed than before, and her heart was no longer congested.
If you also have physical discomfort symptoms such as menopause, irritation and depression, don't endure it, don't be anxious, TCM will take care of the symptoms, and it is not a big problem to get through menopause safely.
