Menopause & Ayurveda

In Ayurveda 50 years is mentioned as the age of Rajonivritti. But  the age mentioned above is a probable age and not a fixed one. There may be some variations in this regard.

In the Ayurvedic view of the human body, each of us is born with a fundamental constitution, or prakriti, that remains with us throughout life.

If you have an excess of one dosha during menopause, the resulting imbalance in your body tends to produce a certain “type” of menopausal symptoms characteristic for that dosha’s predominance over the others.

Recognizing which dosha dominates your system in menopause will help identify which treatments best match your constitution and are most likely to ease your symptoms.
