Menopause Issues : The Ayurvedic Approach to Wellness
Menopause Journey: Empowering Health with Ayurveda
Menopause is a natural and inevitable stage in every woman’s life, marking the transition out of the reproductive years. While this phase is a normal biological process, it can be accompanied by a variety of physical and emotional changes that may affect daily comfort and overall wellbeing.
At Ayur Healthcare, pioneers of classical Ayurveda in Australia, we offer Ayurvedic wellbeing support to help women navigate the menopause journey with greater awareness, balance, and self-care. This article explores menopause from an Ayurvedic perspective, the value of personalised consultations, and how holistic lifestyle support may assist during this life stage.
Understanding Menopause
Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although the experience and timing can vary. It is clinically defined as the point when menstrual periods have stopped for 12 consecutive months.
Common experiences during menopause may include:
Hot flushes and night sweats
Changes in sleep patterns
Mood fluctuations or irritability
Fatigue
Vaginal dryness
Changes in menstrual regularity during the transition phase
The severity and combination of symptoms differ from one woman to another. Ongoing or severe symptoms should always be discussed with a qualified medical practitioner.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Menopause (Traditional Context Only)
In Ayurveda, menopause is viewed as a natural life transition influenced by changes in routine, digestion, emotional wellbeing, and lifestyle. Traditional Ayurvedic texts emphasise balance, nourishment, rest, and routine during transitional phases of life.
This perspective is shared for educational and wellbeing purposes only and does not replace medical assessment or treatment.
Diet & Lifestyle Awareness During Menopause
While Ayurveda does not treat menopause, some women choose to follow general lifestyle principles to support comfort and wellbeing alongside medical care.
Dietary Awareness
Regular meals at consistent times
Warm, freshly prepared foods
Adequate hydration
Limiting excessive caffeine, alcohol, and highly processed foods if personally aggravating
Lifestyle Considerations
Maintaining a consistent daily routine
Prioritising sleep and rest
Gentle physical activity such as walking, yoga, or stretching
Stress awareness and relaxation practices
Dietary or lifestyle changes should be discussed with a GP or dietitian, particularly if there are existing medical conditions.
