Menopause symptoms are more than hot flushes. In fact many women don’t experience hot flushes. Some feel constantly cold and are confused by the 'hot flush' expectation. Heat may manifest day or night, with or without sweat. There are extreme flushes called 'bone steaming' in Chinese Medicine because it feels like the bones are boiling.
The connection between the profile of gut and reproductive microbiota effects the body as a whole for patients with endometriosis. Symptoms are not confined to the pelvis: pain, inflammation and immunity irregularities can occur anywhere in the body. So it's a systemic illness not purely a menstrual issue. Acupuncture takes a systemic approach to treatment and will target the whole rather than just one symptom at a time.
For each patient I ask for date of birth, time and location. Everyone assumes that I’m calculating their astrological chart and the truth is I know nothing about astrology, Western or Indian.
As an example, I've calculated the Ba Zi (meaning 8 columns) and Stems & Branches for Marilyn Monroe. Famous for her looks, hounded by the media reporting her love life, she was a fellow endometriosis sufferer, which is why I chose to calculate her chart.
