CONCEPTUAL STUDY ON RAJONIVRITTI (MENOPAUSE)

Dr. Suresh Kumar Solanki* and Dr. Sushila Sharma

Abstract

Ayurveda links menopause with ageing. Ageing is a 'Vata' predominant stage of life. Thus, the symptoms of menopause experienced by some women are similar to the symptoms seen when the Vata dosha rises and upsets the normal balance of the body. Vata-type menopausal symptoms tend to include depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Menopause may also manifest itself as a rise in the other two humors also. Women with Pitta-type symptoms are often angry and suffer hot flashes. Kapha type symptoms include listlessness, weight gain, and feelings of mental and physical heaviness.
