· Menopause ·
Menopause is the natural decline of reproductive hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, as the ovaries stop releasing eggs.
It typically occurs between ages 45-55 and is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period.
Common symptoms include:
· Hot flashes, night sweats, temperature fluctuations
· Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression
· Sleep disturbances, brain fog, memory issues
· Weight gain, slower metabolism, low energy
· Vaginal dryness, reduced libido, joint pain
Menopause is a natural life transition that can become uncomfortable when the body’s cooling and regulating mechanisms are out of balance. This imbalance may lead to excess internal heat, emotional ups and downs and dryness. Lifestyle, emotional factors, and inherited traits can all influence the experience.
