Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) and Menopausal Hot Flashes
By Drew Nesbitt BA, TCMP, Ac., ROHP • Filed under Menopause Relief • October 13, 2009
In a study published in 2007 in the European Menopause Journal, researchers examined the effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) on typical menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. Recipients received 12 weeks worth of one of the following interventions: Chinese herbal medicine, hormone replacement therapy or a placebo.
It is worth noting that the herbal medicine was formulated according to traditional Chinese medical theory and was tailored to each individual’s pattern. This means that these formulas changed throughout the study depending on the symptoms the women were expressing. The study concluded that CHM was 29% more effective than the placebo and there were no adverse effects from taking the herbs.
