This is not a treatment algorithm. It is an index of where this atlas talks about the thing that woke you — how they see it, what they tend to do, and one unglamorous Tuesday move. Medical options stay with a clinician.
How they see it: thermoregulatory zone · empty heat · pitta · bother vs frequency.
They tend to do: layers and a fan; CBT/hypnosis for hijack; cooling food logic in TCM/Ayurveda; MHT as a medical conversation.
How they see it: Heart–Kidney · vata · conditioned arousal · heat arousals.
They tend to do: clock off the locker; yin/vata evenings; CBT-I ideas with a human if it is severe; check apnoea.
How they see it: Liver qi · vata/pitta mind · CBT thoughts · second spring with a seatbelt.
They tend to do: sleep and heat first; name the lost word; inventory of what you are done performing; crisis line if you are not safe.
Mood · When to leave · Path 6
How they see it: jing · vata joints · CVD risk · muscle as organ.
They tend to do: resistance you will repeat; protein at a real meal; Mediterranean pattern for the long heart; DEXA conversations after POI/surgical.
How they see it: GSM · yin dryness · vata membranes · elder taboos.
They tend to do: name pain separately from desire; lubricant as ordinary; physio; local oestrogen as a medical option.
How they see it: qi expense · vata hours · presenteeism · material heat.
They tend to do: one material ask; health-and-work not performance; sister door for employers.
Meaning: epistemic justice — walk in with a page, not a spiral.
They tend to do: timeline, medicines, red flags first, options named including doing nothing.
Partner, adult child, practitioner — different jobs.
They tend to do: fan and water before a TED talk; lift to the appointment; map on the table, not a protocol.
How they see it: different questions of the same night sweat.
They tend to do: compare, don’t convert. Empty chairs stay empty.
STRAW’s calendar often does not apply. Poems are not a cliff.
They tend to do: menopause-informed clinician; bone/heart in the conversation; skip “just do yoga.”
Nothing here is a ranking of what “works.” It is a map of where to read. Labels.
