Chaihu Shugan San, a traditional Chinese medicine, provides significant relief of physical and psychological symptoms associated with perimenopausal syndrome.
The research methodology utilised a multi-pronged approach that took into account existing classical literature, the underlying mechanisms, pharmacological effects, and clinical studies relevant to the use of Chaihu Shugan San (CSS) in addressing perimenopausal syndrome. The complexity and wide-ranging pharmacological effects of the CSS composition were considered as these factors contribute to its observed therapeutic effects.
While the researchers did not provide a thoroughly clear explanation of the CSS's therapeutic mechanism, they comprehensively reviewed each facet of relevant data. Findings drawn from numerous clinical experiments and pharmacological studies demonstrated that CSS significantly aids in the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome symptoms. These symptoms, including menstrual disorders and insomnia, are increasingly common among women and are connected to fluctuating or decreasing sexual hormone levels during the pre- and postmenopausal periods. The research emphasises the importance of understanding and applying traditional Chinese medicine in modern clinical practices, particularly regarding women's health.
