Tibetan medicine recognizes menopause and its symptoms in the same way as western medical science. It is mentioned in the traditional Tibetan Medical Text, known as rLung-tshab, which is about women's illnesses. Generally the cause of menopausal symptoms is khrag-tshab (amenorrhea) or absence of menstrual periods and it can occur at any age between 30s and late 50s. If you are looking for remedy to alleviate the associated problems, you need to consult with a Tibetan Medicine practitioner who will give you an appropriate diet, along with rLung-tshab treatment according to what they recognize as your constitutional humors.
