menopause and ky

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Jai Gopal Kaur!

Ayurvedically menopause/peri menopause involves all three doshas. It is a

woman's transition from the "Pitta" time of life into "Vata". Shatavari

(asparagus racemosus) is an Ayurvedic herb that is essential for all woman, but

the

dosage may be increased during this phase. Sitali breath, cooling walks in the

moonlight or by a body of water, using organic coconut oil for morning abhyanga,

and using sandalwood oil on the third eye before bed will all ease the

"symptoms." An attitude of transition and acceptance is also important. This is

not

a dis-ease as in most Western Doctors view. It can be challenging; by staying

in balance with all three doshas the passage is greatly eased. Lion's Pose and

Cobra are especially helpful. A drop of warm sesame oil with mild finger

pressure on the marma point Lohitaksa about 3-4 " below the navel, on top of the

pubis bone may bring relief.
