Effect of Surya Namaskar and Chandra Namaskar on Hormonal Balance among Menopausal Women
Menopause is a natural physiological transition in every woman's life characterized by the permanent cessation of menstruation.During this phase women commonly experience vasomotor symptoms, mood disturbances, insomnia, anxiety, vaginal dryness, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular risks.The decline in estrogen and progesterone levels significantly affects physical and psychological well-being.Yoga is considered an effective holistic therapy for improving health during menopausal transition.Surya Namaskar and Chandra Namaskar are yogic sequences that support endocrine balance, mental relaxation, flexibility, and emotional stability.Surya Namaskar energizes the body and stimulates circulation, whereas Chandra Namaskar has cooling and calming effects on the nervous system.Regular practice of these yogic techniques may help prevent or reduce menopausal symptoms naturally and improve quality of life.
