Menopause - best ayurveda treatments
Perimenopause means "the time around menopause" and is often used to refer to the menopausal transitional period
. It is not officially a medical term, but is sometimes used to explain certain aspects of the menopause transition in lay terms. Post menopause is the entire period of time that comes after the last menstrual period.
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when the function of the ovaries ceases. The ovary, or female gonad, is one of a pair of reproductive glands in women. The ovaries are the main source of female hormones, which control the development of female body characteristics such as the breasts, body shape, and body hair. The hormones also regulate the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Estrogens also protect the bone. Therefore, a woman can develop osteoporosis (thinning of bone) later in life when her ovaries do not produce adequate estrogen.
The average age of menopause is 51 years old. Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, but menopause may occur as earlier as the 30s or 40s or may not occur until a woman reaches her 60s. As a rough "Rule of Thumb," women tend to undergo menopause at an age similar to that of their mothers.
Some women may experience few or no symptoms of menopause, while others experience multiple physical and psychological symptoms. The extent and severity of symptoms varies significantly among women. These symptoms of menopause are:
Irregular vaginal bleeding may occur during menopause. Some women have minimal problems with abnormal bleeding during perimenopause whereas others have unpredictable, excessive bleeding.
Hot flashes & night sweats are common among women undergoing menopause. A hot flash is a feeling of warmth that spreads over the body and is often most pronounced in the head and chest A hot flash is sometimes associated with flushing and is sometimes followed by perspiration. Hot flashes are likely due to a combination of hormonal and biochemical fluctuations brought on by declining estrogen levels. Sometimes hot flashes are accompanied by night sweats (episodes of drenching sweats at nighttime), which may lead to awakening and difficulty falling asleep again, resulting in unrefreshing sleep and daytime tiredness.
Vaginal symptoms occur as a result of the lining tissues of the vagina becoming thinner, drier, and less elastic as estrogen levels fall. Symptoms may include vaginal dryness, itching, or irritation and/or pain with sexual intercourse (Dyspareunia). The vaginal changes also lead to an increased risk of vaginal infections.
Urinary symptoms like feeling the need to urinate more frequently, or leakage of urine (urinary incontinence).
Women in perimenopause often report a variety of thinking Cognitive and Emotional symptoms, including fatigue, memory problems, irritability, and rapid changes in mood.
Other physical changes includeweight gain, the distribution of body fat may change; with body fat being deposited more in the waist and abdominal area than in the hips and thighs. Changes in skin texture, including wrinkles, may develop along with worsening of adult acne in those affected by this condition. Since the body continues to produce small levels of the male hormone testosterone, some women may experience some hair growth on the chin, upper lip, chest, or abdomen.
In Ayurveda, Menopausal symptoms are compared to "RAJO NIVRUTTI" or "RAJO NASHA" & are regarded as imbalances of the `Doshas' (`Pitta', `Vata' and `Kapha'), which occur as a natural and gradual consequence of ageing. Ayurvedic treatment for menopause, which comes under the branch of "Rasayana Therapy", involves correcting the imbalance, a Diet rich in phyto-oestrogens and Researched Internal Medications and Internal Detoxification to eliminate Toxins in the system. For this Ayurveda Panchakarma & Rejuvenation Procedures are carried out:
PANCHAKARMA PROCEDURE Involves:
Abhyanga (Oleation), Swedam (Suddation), Vamanam (Emesis), Virecanam (Purgation), Asthapana Vasthi (Cleansing Enemas), Anuvasana Vasthi (Nutritive Enemas) in consecutive order are performed and the Toxin accumulations are thus removed thereby bodily channels are cleaned and there is a tremendous amount of relief in the Menopausal Symptoms.
REJUVENATION PROCEDURES Includes:
ABHYANGA revives body, mind, senses and the soul, increasing energy levels and thus promotes the feeling of well-being.
SIRO DHARA, in which medicated oils are streamed on to the fore head, relaxes the central nervous system, melting away all the stresses & strains.
PIZHICHIL (Medicated Oil Bath) Sarvanga Dhara/ Kaya Seka provides the ultimate rejuvenation and increases the circulation around the body
ELAKIZHI (Herbal Leaf Bundle Massage) is a highly rejuvenating treatment used to treat chronic back pain, sciatica etc.
NAVARAKIZHI (Shali Shastika Pinda Swedam) is very effective in emaciation, debility, strengthens tissues and is anti ageing.
Menopause should be a smooth experience to every woman where the only symptom should be cessation of menstrual flow. But these days it is not so because of the faulty Diet and Life Style which leads to Physical as well as Emotional disturbances.
Ayurveda has excellent solutions for a safe and happy Menopause. There are several single drugs and preparations that can be taken by women who are nearing the age of menopause to remain symptom-free. These drugs are mainly Rasayanas (Rejuvenators) that act on the whole body, especially the brain cells and uterus (Garbhashaya Utthejaka-Uterine Rejuvenators).
