A STUDY ON THE EFFICACY OF YOGIC INTERVENTION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF FEMALE CLIMACTERIC

Abstract

Women undergo hormone imbalances and other physical and psychological changes throughout menopause and the years leading up to it. Hot flashes, nocturnal sweats, mood changes, and sleep issues can lower a woman's quality of life. HRT is the standard treatment, but yoga and other alternative therapies are becoming more popular for their holistic benefits and potential efficacy. Yoga, which incorporates asanas, pranayama, and meditation, helps reduce climacteric symptoms by improving physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance. This study intends to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga interventions in controlling climacteric symptoms in women going through perimenopause and menopause. The study evaluates how yoga reduces symptoms like hot flashes and sleep disruptions, as well as its impact on psychological well-being, including stress reduction and mood stability. Additionally, this study explores how yoga affects hormone balance and autonomic nervous system modulation during menopause. The study aims to assess the long-term impact of yoga on symptom management and quality of life. This research compares the effectiveness of Hatha, Vinyasa, and Restorative yoga practices in reducing symptoms and improving general well-being. This study intends to enhance symptom management during menopause by investigating the possible advantages of yoga for women in the climacteric phase. The findings may improve healthcare procedures and provide women with a supplemental therapy to enhance their quality of life at this crucial life period.
