Hormone Yoga Therapy for Menopause and Hormone Unbalance

by Dinah Rodrigues who created the technique HYT

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND CONTROL OF RESULTS

In 1993, as the results obtained by my students were very good, I decided to make a scientific research of the effects of yoga-therapy practice on estradiol level and symptoms of menopause : hot flushes, uro-genital dryness, emotional instability, insomnia, tiredness, depression, migraine, infertility, hair loss, etc.
To control the results I asked the participants a blood test of estradiol before beginning the practice, which should be repeated each 4 months and a questionnaire to evaluate the intensity of symptoms, repeated every month.

RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH

The results were very good: 100% of the students , in 3 to 4 months of practice, without medication, either had no more symptoms and if there was any symptom, their intensity was near zero.

1 - HORMONE LEVEL

There was 254% average increase in hormone level in 4 months, with 30 minutes of exercises each other day.

2 - INFLUENCE OF AGE

Average age of students was 47 years, but being older than that did not hinder the results - some pupils over 70 had good results, reactivating the hormone production and getting rid of symptoms.

3 - EMOTIONAL SYMPTOMS

Irritability, neurasthenia, emotional instability, crying spells, insomnia, anxiety, stress and other emotional symptoms as discouragement, tiredness and depression, disappear in 2 to 3 months of practice. 100% of cases of PMT, migraine, stress and panic sindrome were eliminated completely or had their intensity near zero. Decreased hormone level is certainly an important cause for these symptoms.
Hormonal- Yoga-Therapy, besides reactivating hormone production, brings balance to the emotional, helping to eliminate these symptoms.

4 - PREMATURE MENOPAUSE

Young women also may have hormonal problems as premature menopause which may appear even before 30, causing infertility and psychological problems.
It may have different causes as emotional shock, excess of exercises, very low weight, etc.
With yoga-therapy hormonal level increased to normal and fertility was restablished.

5 - PMT AND POLICYSTIC OVARY

Women under 40 also may suffer with hormone problems with strong symptoms of PMT and policystic ovary, more common in younger women. With 3 to 4 months practice of yoga therapy, ovary texture became normal, the cysts disappeared completely and menstruation became restablished. In the cases of Policystic ovary with infertility, after 4 to 6 months of practice , 80% of them got pregnant.

6 - HAIR LOSS, DRY SKIN AND BRITTLE NAILS

These symptoms also result from decreased hormone level.
With yoga-therapy these symptoms are eliminated, but they need additional care.
