Introduction
Menopause marks a major transformation in every woman’s life — both physically and emotionally. While modern medicine often focuses on hormone replacement therapies, Ayurveda offers a natural, holistic path to balance and rejuvenation. At Ayurvardhini Ayurveda Hospital, Ernakulam, our approach to menopause focuses on restoring inner harmony through diet, herbs, therapies, and personalized healing plans.
Understanding Menopause Through Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, menopause is viewed as a natural transition from Pitta to Vata dominance in a woman’s life. When Vata increases, symptoms such as hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, and dryness appear. Ayurveda aims to rebalance these doshas and nurture the body’s innate ability to heal.
Ayurvedic Herbs & Remedies for Hormonal Balance
Certain Ayurvedic herbs help balance hormones and ease menopausal discomfort:
- Ashoka & Lodhra – Support uterine health and hormonal harmony
- Shatavari – The queen of herbs for women’s vitality
- Bala & Yashtimadhu – Nourish and strengthen tissues
- Ghee, sesame oil, and milk – Provide deep nourishment
Lifestyle & Dietary Guidance
Ayurveda emphasizes simple, nourishing meals and calming routines during menopause.
- Include warm, cooked foods with healthy fats
- Avoid excessive caffeine, spicy, or fried foods
- Practice Abhyanga (self-oil massage) daily
- Engage in yoga and meditation to calm Vata energy
Panchakarma & Rasayana Therapy
At Ayurvardhini, our menopause care often includes Panchakarma detox followed by Rasayana rejuvenation. These treatments remove toxins, balance hormones, and restore vitality from within.
