Some of my younger ladies are experiencing signs of menopause - occasional hot flashes, mood swings, sleep problems - even before it has begun. They are comforted to know that there is a natural way to address these issues. According to Ayurveda, menopause is a natural progression from childbearing years. The issue is accumulated toxins that can prevent the body from adjusting to the hormonal changes of midlife. The key to a comfortable, easy transition is to cleanse the body of impurities that can build up before and during menopause. It is these accumulated toxins that lead to the uncomfortable experiences that most women accept as a normal part of menopause. Tips for Staying in Balance During Menopause 1. Develop good nutritional habits and exercise regularly. 2. Eat foods that are easy for the body to digest. Enjoy variety and choose fresh, organic foods. Include foods that are high in calcium, such as dark greens, yogurt and leafy greens. 3. Eat the largest meal at noon, when digestion is at its peak. 4. Gradually eliminate caffeine. 5. Indulge in any activity you love. 6. Eat freshly cooked food. Avoid leftovers and packaged foods. 7. Try a daily warm oil massage (abhyanga) to calm and balance emotions and to help flush away toxins. 8. Go to bed by 10 p.m. so the body can rest during its natural purification period, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Peace, P.
