Your situation with low blood flow during menstruation along with difficulty conceiving can indeed be concerning. From an Ayurvedic perspective, we might attribute this to an imbalance in the doshas, often linking it with Vata or Kapha predominance, affecting the reproductive system, and specifically the Apana Vayu, which governs the downward flow of energy and menstruation. Additionally, the condition of the endometrium lining directly affects conception capabilities.

To address this, consider a few methods that align with Ayurvedic principles and experience. Firstly, focusing on your diet is key. Include warm, cooked foods like stews or soups with spices such as ginger, cumin, and fennel. These enhance Agni (digestive fire) and help support healthy menstrual flow by nourishing the Rasadhatu or plasma tissue. Avoid cold or raw foods, as they may aggravate Vata.

Consuming herbs such as Shatavari can be particularly beneficial, as it’s known to support the female reproductive system by balancing hormones and nourishing the endometrium. You should take 500 mg of Shatavari powder with warm milk once daily, preferably in the evening. But do consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal regimen.

Next, lifestyle adjustments include practicing gentle yoga and breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom pranayama to stabilize the mind and body. Ensure you have a consistent sleep schedule, as irregular sleep can increase Vata imbalance. Aim for about eight hours every night, with a regular bedtime to support circadian rhythms.

Abhyanga, a daily self-massage with warm sesame oil, could greatly assist in balancing Vata dosha. Massage in a slow, methodical manner in circular motions on the joints and long strokes on the limbs and back. Let the oil sit for 15-20 minutes before taking a warm shower.

Lastly, maintaining health means understanding when professional medical advice is critical. Monitoring your cycle with a healthcare provider is essential, especially since you’re trying to conceive. For any concerns or unexpected changes, consult a healthcare professional promptly to ensure your well-being alongside Ayurveda’s supportive role.
