Medical Case Sharing

Why can't we just focus on sleep if we suffer from chronic insomnia accompanied by low mood?

Women in their 55s going through menopause often experience recurring hot flashes, night sweats, palpitations, shallow sleep, and mood swings. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) assessments don't just treat these symptoms individually; instead, they consider menstrual changes, constitution, sleep patterns, emotions, and daily routines to understand the overall connection between them.

A client with persistent blood pressure fluctuations, accompanied by dizziness, sleep disturbances, and fatigue, sought to improve their overall condition beyond routine medical management. During the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) assessment, the focus went beyond just the blood pressure readings; it also considered sleep, diet, emotions, physical strength, and other bodily manifestations to identify connections between symptoms.
