Traditional Chinese Medicine Improves Perimenopausal Sleep and Mood

A meta-analysis of 48 randomized controlled trials found that Traditional Chinese Medicine interventions significantly improved sleep quality, hormonal balance, and psychological symptoms in women with perimenopausal insomnia compared to Western medicine. The treatments were also associated with fewer adverse reactions, suggesting they may offer a safe and effective complementary approach during the early menopausal transition.
