Menopause is one point in a continuum of life stages for women and marks the end of their reproductive years. It is a natural part of aging for women that occurs usually between the ages of 45 and 55 years. According to WHO, “menopause is deemed to have occurred after 12 consecutive months without menstruation for which there is no other obvious physiological or pathological cause and in the absence of clinical intervention.’
The menopausal transition can be gradual, spanning into three stages. Perimenopause stage can last several years where the hormonal shifts will start becoming noticeable. The menopausal stage occurs when the menstruation has stopped and you may experience all major symptoms of menopause. The Post-menopausal stage marks after complete stoppage of menstruation and the associated symptoms starts getting milder and gradually goes away, but they can slowly start the risk of developing osteoporosis and other health conditions.
The decline in estrogen and progesterone hormone levels leads to a range of symptoms like:
Hot flashes, Night sweats, Mood swings and irritability, vaginal
dryness, Sleep disturbances, Weight gain, increased blood cholesterol level, Low bone density, Changes in skin and hair.
These symptoms can disrupt professional and personal life of a women and as the age goes by the changes associated with the menopause can affect the health of the women. Therefore, appropriate care during these stages are important for healthy ageing and also to improve the quality of life.
In Ayurveda the process of ageing is a Vatha Dosha predominant process. The menstruation is guided by the Vatha and the Pitha Dosha in you. During menopause there is a decline in estrogen and progesterone level and these changes can lead to Vikrithi (imbalance) of the Vatha and Pitha dosha along with Kapha dosha. Ayurveda views this as a natural transformative stage of life and provides holistic approach to these changes through natural herbal remedies and daily routines.
