Frequently Asked Questions
What does Ayurveda say about menopause?
Ayurveda views menopause as a natural transition, marking the shift from the reproductive phase to the non-reproductive stage in a woman’s life. It is not considered as a disease, but rather a milestone in the body’s changing balance of doshas. Menopause is seen as a time when a woman’s body undergoes a major energy shift which, if managed well, may bring about improved health and spiritual growth.
What are the three major complications of menopause?
- Osteoporosis: The drop in oestrogen levels during menopause can lead to bone loss, increasing the risk of fractures.
- Cardiovascular diseases: Post-menopause, women may have an increased risk of cardiovascular problems due to changes in blood lipid levels and a decline in oestrogen.
- Urinary incontinence and vaginal dryness: Lower oestrogen levels can lead to reduced elasticity of the vaginal tissues and urinary tract, causing discomfort and bladder issues.
What does menopause fatigue feel like?
Menopause fatigue is not just the usual tiredness of the body. Women often feel an extreme sense of exhaustion that isn’t alleviated by sleep. It may be accompanied by reduced concentration, memory lapses, and difficulty in doing daily tasks as efficiently as before.
What does low oestrogen feel like?
Low oestrogen can result in mood swings, sleep disturbances, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and joint pain. Mentally, it can lead to feelings of sadness or depression and a lack of motivation.
What is Vata type menopause?
In Ayurveda, Vata type menopause can be identified by symptoms related to increased Vata dosha, like anxiety, rapid mood swings, palpitations, sleep disturbances, and dryness in various parts of the body.
Which Ayurveda technique is best for menopause?
Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing menopause, emphasising diet, lifestyle, herbal treatments, and therapies tailored to balance the dominant dosha during this transition. Panchakarma, a detoxifying procedure, may be beneficial, and herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha.
Is Ashwagandha good for menopause symptoms?
Yes, Ashwagandha is often recommended in Ayurveda for menopause symptoms, as it helps balance hormones, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep patterns. However, it’s important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before taking any Ayurvedic herbs.
Is ghee good for menopause?
Ghee, or clarified butter, may be recommended in Ayurveda to combat the dryness associated with menopause. It nourishes the body, promotes digestion, and may help in relieving some Vata-related symptoms.
What can actually worsen menopause symptoms?
Factors like stress, excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption, smoking, and a lack of exercise may aggravate menopause symptoms. Dietary choices, such as excessive spicy foods or processed foods, may also intensify some symptoms.
When should I be worried about menopause symptoms?
While menopause is a natural transition, some symptoms or their severity might be cause for concern. If you experience heavy bleeding, prolonged periods, extreme mood swings, or if you have marked more than 3 boxes from the above menopause symptoms checklist, consult with our Ayurvedic practitioner today.
