This World Menopause Day, Amrutam Ayurvedic decodes with GlobalSpa some of the biggest myths surrounding menopause, and how to prepare oneself for this intrinsic change in the human body.
The human body is a wonder of nature. We can see, feel and create just by virtue of possessing a sophisticated physical being. From the moment we are born, our bodies enter a state of continuous growth and development. The process of maturation starts with infancy and doesn’t stop until the end of life.
An essential highlight of physical growth is hitting puberty as an adolescent. However, we aren’t here to talk about the start of sexual maturity but rather the opposite – menopause.
Menopause defines that period in a woman’s life when they stop having menstrual cycles due to progressive hormonal changes.
SOME COMMON MYTHS REGARDING MENOPAUSE
To help you better understand menopause and debunk some common misconceptions surrounding it, check out the list below:
Menopause is a disease – Menopause is just another stage in life. Sure it may be responsible for a few symptoms, but it usually does not negatively impact life for too long.
Menopause marks the end of your sex life – It is possible to have a healthy sex life post-menopause. You may, however, have to take facilitation cautions.
Periods stop immediately in menopause – This is only true for a tiny percent of women. Most women will begin to experience periods that are different from their regular periods and gradually stop menstruating.
HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR MENOPAUSE
While it may seem daunting, menopause is a natural process and most certainly not an illness or disease. Nurturing the basics such as having balanced meals, regularly exercising, and getting adequate sleep can help make the transition easier. Eating foods rich in calcium is a good way to deal with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
To prevent bone loss, you could also use one of Amrutam’s Ayurvedic formulations like the Orthokey Gold Malt or the Othokey Gold Capsules. Both of the products are rich in Yogendra Ras – a powerful rejuvenating agent. They are also helpful in dealing with imbalances in the Vata Dosha, which become much more marked with a decrease in bone density.
For a more general approach, try out the Nari Sondarya products. The Nari Sondarya Malt and Capsules were created to help women with their reproductive system’s health concerns. Both the capsules and the malt have a wide range of curative properties and can help ease the onset of menopause.
Rather than being treated with fear and ignorance, menopause needs to be accepted for what it actually is – a biological change that marks the beginning of the next phase of life. On a deeper level, this transition is so much more than just physical. Such a transition is felt not only in the body but also in mind and the soul. It is up to you to mould yourself in the fire of change to emerge better and stronger!
