Menopausal syndrome refers to a specific set of symptoms that occur in women between the ages of 45 and 55 when their bodies are temporarily unable to adapt to physiological changes. Dietary therapy focuses primarily on tonifying the kidneys. Recommended foods and medicinal ingredients include Chinese yam, amomum seed, Chinese cornelian cherry, black sesame seeds, Polygonum multiflorum, walnut kernels, mulberries, white fungus, soft-shelled turtle, goji berries, and other similar items. Additionally, one may incorporate reishi mushroom, Poria cocos, red dates, jujube seeds, lotus seeds, longan flesh, milk, lily bulbs, and corn—which calm the mind, soothe the spirit, nourish yin, and regulate the liver. Avoid stimulants and excitants such as chili peppers, coffee, tobacco, alcohol, and strong tea.
