The Ayurvedic Approach to Perimenopause and Menopause: How to Reduce Your Symptoms in Just 7 Days
Mar 10, 2025
Menopause is a natural transition, just like puberty, but for many women, it comes with frustrating symptoms like brain fog, hot flashes, weight gain, and disrupted sleep. While conventional medicine often treats these symptoms with medication, Ayurveda takes a different approach—focusing on the root cause of imbalance rather than just symptom relief.
As Ayurveda Wellness Coaches, we believe that your perimenopause and menopause symptoms are not just due to changing hormones. Instead, they are also the result of accumulated stress and toxins over the past 30 years. By making intentional shifts in lifestyle and diet, you can significantly ease your symptoms and regain balance.
The Five Pillars of Health for Menopause Wellness
Ayurveda teaches that true wellness comes from balancing five key areas of health:
- Food – Your metabolism, digestion, and hormone balance all depend on what you eat. A diet filled with fresh, seasonal, organic, and local (SOL) foods helps reset your system. Avoid processed foods and incorporate healthy fats like walnuts, avocado, and fish oil to combat brain fog and support weight management. Ayurvedic cleanses, especially in the spring and autumn, can further restore balance.
- Exercise – Movement is essential for clearing toxins and keeping your metabolism active. Weight training is especially important after age 40, as muscle mass naturally declines. Ayurveda recommends strength training and at least 90 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per week (like yoga, Pilates, and other “huffy puffy” activities) to promote overall wellness.
- Sleep – Poor sleep is one of the most common menopause symptoms. Ayurveda recommends yoga nidra, which is scientifically proven to be as restorative as four hours of sleep. A bedtime routine, including screen-free time and seven minutes of legs-up-the-wall pose, can help reset your body for restful sleep.
- Stress Management – Modern life keeps most women in a constant state of fight-or-flight, which exacerbates menopause symptoms. Daily “islands of serenity,” like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises, help shift your body into rest-and-digest mode, reducing irritability, hot flashes, and anxiety.
- Mindset – Menopause is a transition, not a disease. Shifting your perspective can help you embrace this new phase of life with grace. Rather than simply treating symptoms, it’s about nurturing your body through holistic wellness practices.
Ayurvedic Cleanse: A 7-Day Reset for Hormone Balance and Symptom Relief
The single most effective way to dramatically reduce menopause symptoms is by doing an Ayurvedic cleanse. This cleanse helps your body eliminate stored toxins, reboot digestion, and balance hormones naturally.
During the cleanse, you’ll follow a carefully designed mono-diet with Ayurvedic herbs and spices tailored to your unique constitution. This process:
- Clears out built-up toxins and supports liver function
