Western culture has a habit of treating menopause as something to dread, a door closing, a chapter ending, a list of symptoms to manage. But for over two thousand years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has told a different story entirely. It calls this phase of a woman's life the Second Spring. And once you understand why, it changes everything.

Menopause has a story problem. The story most women are told is one of loss — of hormones, of fertility, of the version of themselves they once knew. But Traditional Chinese Medicine tells a different story, one rooted in two thousand years of wisdom. Far from being a breakdown, menopause is a redistribution of energy and understanding it through the lens of Yin and Yang can change everything about how you experience it.

The broken sleep. The hot flushes. The anxiety that arrives from nowhere. If this sounds familiar, you don't just have to push through. In my latest post, I'm sharing how acupuncture supports women through perimenopause and menopause and how it works alongside HRT too.
