What
is menopause ?
Menopause,
the change of life in women, can be a time of health disturbances with
the shifting of hormones. Treatment requires special herbs for strengthening
or rejuvenating the female reproductive system, along with herbs to
help regulate the hormones and calm the emotions.
As
menopause is associated with the movement into old age, the Vata (air)
stage of life, symptoms are primarily of high Vata with increased nervousness,
anxiety, insomnia and depression.
The
general treatment is similarly anti-Vata. Many herbs, which tonify the
female reproductive system become helpful again, including aloe gel,
shatavari, saffron, kapikacchu taken in milk decoctions, if possible,
or in their different preparations like Shatavari compound.
Aloe
gel is specific for maintaining the youthfulness of the female reproductive
organs.
Pitta
(fire) type menopause appears as anger, irritability, and short temper,
with more frequent or pronounced hot flashes. Treatment is anti-Pitta,
including aloe gel and or a saffron milk decoction.

(water) involves feelings of heaviness, sleepiness, lack of motivation,
weight gain or holding of water. Treatment is anti-Kapha.
