Be positive,
Attitude is the most important determinant of how a woman copes with the transitional phase of menopause.In china for example,where age is honoured,menopausal symptoms are rarely.Women need to build their confidence and self assurance to combat outer elements that tell them that their attractiveness depends on a youthful appearance.
During the perimenopausal years,the chinese believe that there is an increase in the active,dry and hot element that called YANG energy.
Before 35, a woman is more YIN (moist,receptive,passive) but during the change of life, her YANG begins to express itself. She becomes more passionate about ideas,quicker to anger,faster to defend herself or others.
As more"HOT"yang energy begins to move through the acuquncture meridians,at first the flow is kind of jerky as we get accustomed to using the new energy.Those jerky manifestations of rising YANG give rise to hot flashes.But as the meridians open to the YANG energy and we get used to it, the floe stabilises.
Menopause is a natural change of women life,part of the natural process of ageing.Women deserve the right to appreciate themselves and their bodies through all the stages of life that is menopause.Women also deserve the right to live longer and youthfulness and health.
