In Ayurveda, menopause is viewed as a time to restore balance rather than simply manage symptoms. By understanding your unique constitution (dosha), you can support your body with personalized nutrition, lifestyle practices, herbs, and stress management.
Here is how the doshas may show up during menopause:
Vata Imbalance
• Anxiety or overwhelm
• Difficulty sleeping
• Dry skin and hair
• Joint aches and pains
Pitta Imbalance
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Irritability or anger
• Feeling overheated
Kapha Imbalance
• Weight gain
• Low energy or sluggishness
• Water retention
• Low mood or feeling stuck
Ayurveda focuses on strengthening digestion (Agni), calming the nervous system, nourishing the body, and bringing the doshas back into balance.
Have you noticed whether your symptoms feel more like Vata, Pitta, or Kapha?
