Up to 80% of women experience hot flashes and night sweats during the menopause, alongside mood changes, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness that can disrupt daily life for years [1].
Declining Kidney Yin fails to anchor Yang, causing hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and restlessness.
Weak Kidney Yang reduces the body’s warmth, causing cold intolerance, fatigue, and low libido.
Hormonal shifts disrupt the smooth flow of Liver Qi, causing irritability, mood swings, and emotional tension.
When Kidney Yin can no longer nourish the Heart, insomnia, palpitations, and anxiety often follow.
Weak Spleen Qi disrupts digestion and fluid metabolism, contributing to fatigue, bloating, and weight gain.
Declining Blood fails to nourish the body, resulting in dizziness, dry skin and hair, and poor memory or concentration.

By precisely inserting fine needles, acupuncture regulates Qi and Blood flow to nourish Kidney Yin and calm the nervous system. Key acupoints like KI3 (Taixi – inner ankle), REN4 (Guanyuan – lower abdomen), and SP6 (Sanyinjiao – inner calf) are commonly used to ease hot flashes, improve sleep, and stabilise mood during menopause [2][3].
Mild electrical pulses enhance acupuncture’s effects, particularly for vasomotor symptoms and mood disturbances. They improve circulation, reduce hot flash frequency, and accelerate the overall treatment process.
For those sensitive to needles, our painless acupuncture gun delivers gentle yet effective treatment, relieving menopausal symptoms with minimal discomfort.
Stimulating targeted ear points with Cowherb Seed sends signals to the brain, releasing endorphins and neurotransmitters to ease hot flashes, support sleep, and promote natural hormonal balance.
Menopause symptoms often arise from Kidney Yin/Yang imbalance alongside Liver and Heart involvement. Formulas such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan nourish Kidney Yin, while Er Xian Tang addresses combined Yin-Yang deficiency patterns [4][5]. At Lao Niang TCM, we offer HSA-approved, powdered herbal formulas from Taiwan, ensuring both safety and ease for our clients.
Our TCM physicians customise herbal formulas for clients to brew as soups or teas, tailored to each woman’s unique constitution and symptom pattern. We use high-quality Taiwanese herbs, rich in active ingredients and rigorously tested for heavy metals, pesticides, preservatives, and sulphur — ensuring safety and effectiveness.
While Western medicine often addresses menopause through hormone replacement therapy targeting specific symptoms, TCM focuses on treating the root cause — typically Kidney Yin or Yang deficiency — through acupuncture, herbal remedies, and lifestyle changes that restore overall balance.
Acupuncture helps regulate Qi and nourish Kidney Yin, easing hot flashes, improving sleep quality, and stabilising mood. Many women experience reduced frequency and severity of symptoms after a course of sessions, although results vary.
Many women use TCM as a complement to HRT, or as a natural alternative if they prefer to avoid hormone therapy. It’s important to inform both your TCM physician and your doctor about all treatments you’re receiving to ensure safe, coordinated care.
Results vary depending on the individual and symptom severity, but many women notice improvement within several sessions. Since menopause is a longer transition, consistent treatment over weeks to months often yields the most lasting benefit.
Yes, TCM herbs are generally safe for long-term use when prescribed by a licensed practitioner. At Lao Niang TCM, all herbs are HSA-approved, rigorously tested for heavy metals and pesticides, and free from harmful additives like sulfur or preservatives.
Perimenopause involves fluctuating hormones and irregular cycles as the body approaches menopause, while menopause itself is marked by the complete cessation of periods for 12 months. TCM treatment is tailored to each stage’s distinct pattern of imbalance — read more on our [Perimenopause page].
Traditional acupuncture is minimally painful, using fine needles. For those with low pain tolerance, Lao Niang TCM offers painless acupuncture using an acupuncture gun, which provides effective treatment with minimal discomfort.
