Menopause or climacteric is a phase of transition in a woman's life. During this phase there can be recognisable physiological alteration of structures and functions that eventually lead to the beginning of old age and devolution. Unani medicine has got a clear concept of different temperamental, humoral and power changes in different phases of life and that's also known Asnān Arba'a / A'mār Arba'a (four stages of life). Menopause is related to Sinn-i-Kuhūlat / Sinn-i-Inhitāt (age of decline) and extends to Sinn-i-Shaykhūkhat (age of elderly / geriatric age).the temperament of this phase of life is either cold and dry or cold and dry with dominance of abnormal moistness. Apart from this one of the most distinguishing features of the menopaustic uterus is atrophy of the endometrium.

To manage these disorders or symptoms, there are many drugs that are included in the classical texts. Some of these drugs have been researched and have proven to be effective on these symptoms. This paper highlights not only the concept of menopause but also the drugs that can be used in this phase to achieve a better quality of life.
