Abstract

Menopause, or Rajo Nivritti in Ayurveda, marks the cessation of menstruation and reproductive capability in women, typically occurring between 45 and 55 years of age. While modern science attributes menopause to declining estrogen levels, Ayurveda describes it as a natural Vata-dominant phase associated with Dhatu Kshaya and aging (Jara). This case study presents an Ayurvedic approach to manage menopausal symptoms with an integrative line of treatment. The integration of Ayurved Rasayana, lifestyle modification, and Shodhan and Shaman treatment can offer effective, personalized care in menopausal management.
