Life Beyond Menopause | Transitioning Menopause

Every woman goes through menopause. Her body starts to slow down, hormone production changes, and she can experience a myriad of uncomfortable symptoms.

A recent study showed that there are more than 38 complications that women may suffer during menopause. The health and wellness market, including mainstream medicine, offer a myriad of treatments and medications to treat symptoms including anxiety, hot flushes, insomnia and weight gain. The problem with this system is that these medications typically work to suppress specific symptoms and not deal with the root causes.

One Woman’s Journey

A woman going through menopause once came to my clinic. She was taking a few popular over the counter supplements to deal with symptoms associated with menopause.

“What problems are you facing,” I asked.

“Not anything in particular. Nothing major is going on; I just don’t feel good about myself,” she replied.

After listening to her, I could see that anxiety was an issue for her.

“Have you seen a GP about your health concerns?” I asked.

“I don’t want to take pills or drugs of any sort,” she insisted.

“Then can I recommend our Ayurvedic herbal treatment. I can supply you with herbal formulations that will help you get through this rough stage, and you will feel much better.”

Then she revealed that she didn’t have any money either, so she couldn’t pay for the treatment.

“You have to invest in this treatment if you want to feel better and, in return, I can assure you that this treatment won’t disappoint you.”

“But will it really make a difference?” she asked, hesitantly.

I beamed, because this is my favourite question. “This treatment will not only benefit your health problems,” I replied. “The improvements will spread out to all parts of your life – physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. Even your relationships will benefit!

She returned three months later, having followed our programme. I still remember the change in her features. She had a beautiful healthy glow to her face.

“My investment really paid off!” She was bubbling with excitement as she spoke. “I feel amazing! I look great! And I’ve started a new job, so everything you said has come true.”

“You believed in the treatment, and it worked for you,” I said. “But it isn’t over yet. You should continue for another three months, and you will see further improvements in your lifestyle.”

Three months later, when she came back to the clinic, she was elated.

“I really think you must be psychic!” she joked.

“Why?”

“Well, recently I started a new relationship. He is a loving and wonderful guy. He even wants me to go travelling with him for three years. And … He says he has enough money for both of us, so I don’t even have to worry about the finances!”

It was wonderful to see the change in this woman’s life. It always is. My experiences with patients have shown me that it is never too late to recover from your problems and rise in life. When you balance your doshas, you cleanse your body of the toxicity that holds you back. Karma can really work in a positive manner, even when you least expect it.
