AYURVEDA AND THE TRANSITION PHASE
April 3rd 2025 at 19:30
Ayurveda views the Transition Period as a natural process in a woman’s life. This is a period of life that offers a new outlook on life and a new approach to life. However, it is necessary to let go of the old in order to enjoy the new. Some women experience great discomfort during this period of life, while others feel little. It all depends on the state of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha and whether there is an imbalance when we enter the transition period.
There is much that can be done with the help of Ayurveda to alleviate the symptoms if there is an imbalance in the three doshas and improve the quality of life. There are many tools in the toolbox of Ayurveda.
In the lecture, the fundamentals of Ayurveda will be explained, such as the three doshas, the five elemental forces, the agni digestive fire, and then the transition period will be delved into through the lens of Ayurveda.
Instructor: Heiða Björk, Ayurveda Specialist (AP)
