Yes, you can combine shatavari with other cooling remedies to help address your menopausal hot flushes. Shatavari is excellent for balancing pitta dosha, which can help with hot sensations, but sometimes supplementary support is needed. One effective complementary remedy is amalaki (also known as Indian gooseberry), which is cooling and helps balance pitta. You can take amalaki powder or tablets, typically 1-2 teaspoons of the powder mixed in water or as directed on supplement packaging, ideally twice a day.
Another option is to include coriander seeds in your diet. You can soak one tablespoon of coriander seeds in a cup of water overnight, strain, and drink it in the morning. This simple infusion helps dissipate excess heat from the body.
Consider incorporating aloe vera juice into your routine. Drinking 2 tablespoons of aloe vera juice on an empty stomach in the morning is helpful to balance your pitta and provides cooling effect.
Ensure you’re staying hydrated with plenty of fresh, cool water and herbal teas like mint or chamomile. These are naturally cooling and contribute to overall pitta balance.
While these remedies can be helpful, it’s important to monitor your symptoms and consult a healthcare professional if your symptoms persist or worsen. They might evaluate whether combining herbs is the best approach for your unique constitution and ensure that no underlying issues are being overlooked.
