At 51 years, this is commonly seen in the perimenopausal stage, where hormones fluctuate and periods can become delayed followed by sudden heavy bleeding with clots. In Ayurveda, this is often related to aggravated Pitta and Rakta dushti along with Apana Vata imbalance. For now, Stop Sukumara Kwatham temporarily until the bleeding settles, as it can stimulate Apana Vata and may increase flow in some women during active heavy bleeding. Complete rest is important. Avoid long walks, exertion, travel, stress, and late nights for a few days. Continue light, cooling, easy-to-digest food like kichadi, cooked vegetables, moong dal, pomegranate, raisins, and adequate fluids. Avoid spicy, sour, fermented, fried foods, excess tea/coffee, and heat exposure. Ayurvedic support: Pushyanuga Churnam can be helpful for controlling excessive bleeding when taken with rice-washed water or honey Lodhraasav- may help regulate uterine bleeding and support the perimenopausal transition once active heavy bleeding reduces. Immediate gentle measures: Pomegranate juice, soaked black raisins, lotus stem, coriander seed water, and cooling rest can help calm Pitta and support Rakta balance. If weakness increases, include iron-rich foods and monitor hydration.
