Pills work for me due to vigilance.
I did the research for my menopause symptoms in TCM articles.  My symptoms were hot flashes (but not extremely severe ones, so not bone steaming) dizziness, knee and low back pain, weak eyes, and disturbed sleep.  I compared my symptoms to be sure what type of situation I had and for me it is yin deficiency.  It's important to know something about TCM and herbal treatments before you self medicate.  After taking 8 pills for 3 times a day for about 2 weeks, my hot flashes diminished in intensity and frequency and I was able to sleep better.  I'm still taking the pills, though.  If I stop, the flashes come back.  Regularity in taking the pills is necessary because it takes time for them to work.  It's not a quick fix.  You are actually trying to strengthen your weak kidney energy.  It's really best to visit a qualified acupuncturist before you buy the pills.
