Hello I totally understand your concern regarding hot flashes and night sweating can wear you out and I understand that it is quite discouraging to hear that these things often persist even 3 years after menopause.
You are actually doing a lot of things right (pure vegetarian, no alcohol/smoking), so just by giving the advisable correction, these discomforts can be alleviated to a great extent.
YOUR CONCERN
You have post-menopause (3 years) Age: 52 years Frequent hot flashes & night sweats (several times daily) Slim build, generally nice health Pure vegetarian lifestyle
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
According to Ayurveda, this situation is mostly due to:
After menopause, the main culprit is Pitta that becomes aggravated. The corresponding Vata imbalance is due to the natural decrease of Shukra/Artava Dhatu. The cooling and nourishing Rasayana are less than before. Hot flash and night sweating are signs that the body is too hot (Ushna) and is dry.
AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN
INTERNAL MEDICATION (Cooling + Hormonal Balance)
1. Shatavari kalpa – ½ tsp 2 times a day With lukewarm milk (or warm water if milk is not tolerated) - The best herb for menopausal balance - Alleviates hot flashes & night sweats
2. Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp at night With warm water - Helps sleep - Reduces hormonal fluctuations caused by stress
3. Guduchi Satva – 250 mg once daily (morning) - Helps Pitta to regain balance - Contributes to general adaptation to hormonal changes
Continue this for 4 weeks to get a noticeable relief.
DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS (MOST IMPORTANT)
INCLUDE DAILY
– Coconut water (3–4 times/week) – Almonds (5) + raisins (5–6), both soaked – Milk with a pinch of cardamom at night – Ghee (1–2 tsp daily) – Rice, moong dal, barley – Cucumber, bottle gourd, ash gourd – Pomegranate, pear, apple – Flaxseeds (1 tsp roasted daily – source of phytoestrogens)
AVOID / LIMIT
– Spicy, sour, and fermented foods – Pickles, vinegar – Tea, coffee – Chocolate – Deep-fried food – Late night meals
LIFESTYLE & DAILY ROUTINE
Sleep before 10:30 pm Make sure the bedroom is cool & well-ventilated Use lukewarm coconut oil and gently apply on the body (Abhyanga) 2–3 times/week Practice Sheetali & Sheetkari Pranayama daily Do not allow yourself to nap during the day
WHAT TO EXPECT
– Decrease in the number and strength of hot flashes – Better quality of sleep – Less sweating at night – More calm and energy
These changes are not a definitive sign of disease but rather a call for the right Rasayana and cooling therapy.
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
Even after 3 years of menopause hot flashes and night sweats can continue if the body is still feeling internally, heat and dryness. This happens more often in slim vegetarian women because the body lacks enough cooling nourishment.
Have more cooling nourishing foods Take warm milk at night and a little cardamom or fennel include soaked almonds in morning Rice dal tofu vegetables pumpkin ridge gourd Coconut water pomegranate apple pear can be take Avoid spicy excess chilli pickles tea coffee Late dinner skipping meals
Take Shatavari churna 1/2 tsp with warm milk at morning Hadjod capsule 1 cap at night Asoka aristha 20 ml With water Brahmi vati 1 tab at night
Sleep before 10.30 pm Keep dinner light and early Avoid hot baths Drink milk with pinch of nutmeg powder at night
Thank you for contacting Ask ayurveda 🌸
What you are experiencing, even after three years of menopause is something I see very often in women like youhot flashes-slim, vegetarian, disciplined, and otherwise healthy When menopause happened, the body suddenly loser, its natural cooling and nourishing support, and in women with a lighter frame, this dryness and internal heat does not settle easily… This is why the hot flashes 🔥 and night sweats 🌙💦 keep coming multiple times a day, even without any clear trigger.
According to Ayurvedic point of view, this is mainly due to increased pitta along with instability of vata when these two disturb together, the body suddenly releases it in waves, especially at night and sleep, becomes lighter and more broken 😴.
Food place, a very big role here, 🍲. Even though your diet is balanced, your body now needs more cooling and grounding. Include warm, freshly cooked meals, a little ghee daily 🧈, soft rice or rotis, and vegetables like bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd and ash gourd 🥒. Sweet fruits like apple, pear, pomegranate and soaked raisins are helpful 🍎. At night, warm milk or almond milk with a pinch of cardamom can be very calming 🥛. Avoid very spicy foods, excess coffee or green tea ☕, late dinners, and raw salads at night, as they quietly increase heat and dryness even in healthy people.
To support your hormones, gently, Shatavari is one of the best herbs for you Taking of a teaspoon once daily with warm milk or warm water helps cool your body. It will help in reducing hot flashes and nourish tissues over time If you’re sleepy light or your mind, feel stress less a small amount of mandukaparni can be taken in tablet for which calms the nervous system and improve your sleep quality 🌙. When sweating feels intense or overwhelming, a tiny dose of Praval Pishti taken once daily can bring down excess internal heat very effectively 🔥➡️❄️.
Your night routine matters a lot 🌌. A lukewarm bath before bed, gently applying a little warm sesame oil to the soles of your feet 🦶, keeping screens away before sleep 📵, and sleeping by 10:00 pm helps settle Vata and reduces nighttime heat. breathing practices like Anulom Vilom for 10 minutes morning and evening will further stabilize your system 🌬️.
With regular care, most women start noticing that the intensity of hot flashes reduces within 2 to 3 weeks night sweats becomes. Let’s disturbing within 6 to 8 weeks and body gradually finds its new balance over the next few months 🌼. Please remember, your body is not failing you .it is simply asking for a different kind of nourishment and cooling now 💛.
