Embrace the Change: How Ayurveda Empowers Women Through Menopause Naturally
In Ayurveda, this life phase is honored as a time of wisdom, reflection, and transformation. Known as Rajonivritti (the natural cessation of menstruation), menopause is viewed not as a disease, but as a natural shift in a woman’s life cycle that can be navigated gracefully with the right support.
