Yin is responsible for nourishing, cooling and moistening the body. a deficiency will lead to heat, dryness and lack of nourishment to all areas of the body - creating all the symptoms of menopause.

" “So many women I’ve talked to see menopause as an ending. But I’ve discovered this is your moment to reinvent yourself after years of focusing on the needs of everyone else. It’s your opportunity to get clear about what matters to you and then to pursue that with all of your energy, time and talent.”
