Abstract

Menopause marks the permanent cessation of menstruation resulting from  irreversible changes in the hormonal and reproductive functions of the ovaries and  is associated with large number of symptoms ranging from physical, psychological  and genitourinary. In the present scenario menopausal health demands priority due  to increase in life expectancy and growing population of menopausal women.  Rajonivrittti (menopause) as a diseased condition is not described separately in the  classics; Rajonivritti-kala (menopause) is mentioned by almost all Acharyas. Due  to changing lifestyle, food habits and socio-economic standards the age is  decreasing. By taking into consideration all the references available in Ayurveda  classics, efforts have been made to review critically the said subject in the light of  Menopausal Syndrome mentioned in modern Medicine as the fundamentals of  Ayurveda in this paper.
