Abstract: Due to ovarian function degradation, sex hormone level fluctuations, or secretion reductions before and after menopause, women may experience endocrine disorders and autonomic nervous system dysfunction, leading to menopausal syndrome. Clinical manifestations include sudden sweating, insomnia and dreaminess, anxiety and irritability, depression, etc., among which insomnia is the most common. Menopausal insomnia has become a common health issue faced by women, caused by various factors such as hormonal changes, increased psychological pressure, and lifestyle modifications. In traditional Chinese medicine, menopausal insomnia falls under the category of “insomnia” and is closely related to the functions of the “kidneys, heart, and liver”. The main etiology and pathogenesis include kidney qi decline, kidney yin deficiency, heart and liver fire exuberance, and disturbance of the mind. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments like herbal remedies and acupuncture have shown promising effects. This article aims to explore the etiology, pathogenesis, and traditional Chinese medicine treatments for female menopausal insomnia to provide assistance to more women.
