  • Abstract:
  • Menopause marks the permanent cessation of menstruation resulting from irreversible changes in the hormonal and reproductive function of ovaries and it is associated with large numbers of symptoms ranging from physical, psychological and after the age of 40 years, ovaries reduce the production of sex hormones, which finally results in cessation of menses. Several symptoms bear an obvious relationship to the changing hormonal activities associated with menopause. The common symptoms include hot flushes, vaginal dryness, disrupted sleep, and also depressive symptoms and cognitive difficulties. According to Ayurveda classics it is termed as Rajonivriti, which occurs due to an imbalance of Doshas. Menopause is a natural phenomenon, but when it gets disturbed it produces symptoms related to vasomotor, psychological, urogenital, skeletal, and cardiovascular symptoms. Therefore, this condition requires proper treatment. In Ayurveda, we can use drugs having Deepan-Pachan, Rasayan, Vatashamak, Vayasthapan, Bruhan, Balya, Ojovardhak, and Hridya properties to get rid of common menopausal symptoms, allowing for improved patient care and health outcomes for older female patients.
