Hip pain and joint stiffness are surprisingly common during perimenopause — yet they’re rarely talked about. As estrogen declines and progesterone fluctuates, the hips often become a place where hormonal changes, inflammation, and tissue dryness show up. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this stage of life is governed by Vata dosha, which explains why women may notice more instability, cracking, or dryness in their joints. The good news is that simple rituals — like daily oil massage, nourishing foods, and gentle movement — can bring relief and restore balance.
