Hot Flash Treatment at IHP Greenville — authentic TCM, in-house herbal pharmacy. Dr. Hendry, DAOM, 25+ yrs experience. Call (864) 365-6156.
Hot flashes — the sudden sensation of heat, flushing, and sweating that affect up to 75% of menopausal women — are the most common menopausal symptom and the most researched indication for acupuncture in the menopause context. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry treats hot flashes with evidence-based acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine protocols that reduce their frequency, intensity, and duration without hormonal intervention.
How Hot Flash Treatment Works
Hot flash treatment targets the thermoregulatory dysregulation at the core of vasomotor symptoms — using acupuncture to regulate the hypothalamic set point and stabilize the autonomic nervous system oscillations that trigger hot flashes. Key acupoints include KD3, SP6, HT6, and CV4. Chinese herbal formulas include Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan (for Yin Deficiency Heat) and Er Xian Tang (for mixed Kidney Yin-Yang Deficiency with rising Heat).

Your First Appointment
Quantify your hot flashes: How many per day? How severe (1–10)? Do they occur at night (night sweats)? Duration? Associated symptoms (palpitations, anxiety, flushing face)? This baseline helps Dr. Hendry measure treatment response over time.
Why Dr. Hendry for Hot Flash Treatment
Dr. Hendry's advanced understanding of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis — from both Chinese medicine (Heart-Kidney axis) and functional medicine perspectives — allows him to address hot flashes mechanistically rather than symptomatically.
