FACTS ABOUT MENOPAUSE

Menopauseis only one of several stages in a woman's mid age reproductive life. There are actually three main stages, known as:

• Perimenopause- refers to a transitional stage of two to ten years before a woman stops experiencing her menstrual period. It is characterized by hormone fluctuations in which women can experience typical menopause symptoms such as hot flashes.
• Menopause- refers to time in which the ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone and stop producing eggs. At this time a woman can no longer become pregnant naturally.
• Postmenopause- refers to the time after menopause has occurred. Generally, this stage begins when 12 full months have passed since the last menstrual period. This stage usually continues for the rest of the woman's life.

The Underlying Cause:

Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective: Menopause is considered a deficiency condition of the liver and qi (life force). When the blood and energy quality is weak and toxic then all of the organs are not able to perform their job. This condition causes the liver to overheat which rises through the body, wreaking havoc in its path. The heart, lungs, digestion, glands, throat, mouth & teeth, nose, eyes, ears, brain, skin and hair become heated and dried resulting in the symptoms to the left. In addition, the liver does not filter the blood where it becomes sluggish and clotted. Longevity Mountain provides formulas that answer this syndrome, quickly (2 hours).
