Preparing for and maintaining a healthy menopause

• Helps prepare your body for menopause by supporting metabolism and the elimination of impurities more efficiently

RECOMMENDED: Combine this product with Midlife for Women II (MA939) Use both these products during the entire transitional period (12-18 months)

Accumulated toxins can prevent your body from adjusting to the hormonal changes of midlife. The key to a comfortable, easy transition is to cleanse the body of impurities that can build up before and during menopause. It’s these accumulated toxins that lead to the uncomfortable experiences — and the more serious consequences, such as loss of bone density — that most women accept as a normal part of menopause.

Tips for staying in balance during menopause

• Develop good nutritional habits and exercise regularly
• Eat foods that are easy for your body to digest. Enjoy variety and choose fresh, organic foods. Include foods that are high in calcium, such as milk, yogurt and leafy greens
• Eat your largest meal at noon, when your digestion is at its peak
• Gradually eliminate caffeine. Drink Raja’s Cup, an antioxidant coffee substitute, instead
• Indulge in any activity you love
• Avoid leftovers and packaged foods with preservatives
• Give yourself a daily warm oil massage (abhyanga) to calm and balance your emotions and to help flush away toxins
• Go to bed by 10 p.m. so your body can rest during its natural purification period, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m
• Follow a Vata-Pitta pacifying diet if you experience symptoms such as hot flushes or emotional imbalance
• Follow a Vata-pacifying diet for symptoms such as memory loss or vaginal dryness.
