What is Menopause?
An end of the menstrual cycle is termed Menopause. In Ayurveda, the menopausal syndrome is known as Rajonivrutti which means the end of the menstruation cycle i.e. monthly period cycle comes to an end. The natural transition generally occurs at the age of 45-55 years which is a biological process. A woman goes through many physical and emotional changes during this period. When the ovaries stop producing the hormones i.e. there is no longer release of an egg each month and to produce the female sex hormones Oestrogen and progesterone. The fall in the level of these hormones in the bloodstream gives rise to the symptoms of menopause. It is the end of the fertility period. The importance of diet in menopause is highly advised for a healthy body.
