Abstract: Objective: To explore the effect of mild moxibustion on menopausal syndrome patients with yin deficiency in sex hormone level and stress situation. Methods: 60 cases were ramdomly divided into moxibustion group and oryzanol group with 30 cases each other,moxibustion group was treated with mild moxibustion,oryzanol group was treated with oryzanol.The changes of Kupperman,HAMA,E2,FSH,LH,ACTH,CORT were compared before and after treatment between the2 groups. Results: After moxibustion treatment,E2 increased,Kupperman、HAMA and constitution transformation scores、FSH、ACTH and CORT levels were lower than before,compared with oryzanol group,the difference was significant. The decrease of Kupperman score was positively correlated with FSH,CORT and ACTH levels; the improvement of yin deficiency was negatively correlated with the increase of E2,while positively with the descent of CORT and ACTH.Conclusion: Mild moxibustion could reduce the level of FSH,increase the content of E2,the mechanism may relate to the adjustment of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis,ACTH and CORT are sensitive hormone index in menopausal syndrome with yin deficiency constitution.
