Irregular periods with prolonged bleeding is a serious issue that requires attention. In Ayurveda, menstrual irregularities often relate to dosha imbalances, particularly Vata and Pitta. Your symptoms suggest vitiation of Vata, causing excessive bleeding while Pitta may be contributing to the irregularity.
Let’s address the bleeding first. Ashoka Tree (Saraca asoca) is an excellent herb in Ayurveda for managing heavy periods. You can start with Ashoka bark powder, about 1 teaspoon twice daily with warm water. Try this for a few weeks under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for the exact dose.
Balancing your lifestyle can help regulate your menstrual cycle. Aim for a consistent routine, prioritizing early sleeping and waking times. Regular exercise, but nothing too strenuous since this could aggravate Vata. Gentle yoga or walking is great to start with.
Now, about your diet. Avoid raw rice and opt for easier to digest foods. Include warm, cooked meals with spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel to support Agni (digestive fire). Include iron-rich foods like black raisins, sesame seeds, and beets to counter blood loss.
For hair health, try massaging your scalp with bhringraj oil, applying twice a week can stimulate growth and enhance thickness. Minimize chemical products usage on hair. With diet, think of nourishing your hair from within: consider incorporating almonds, sesame, and amla to rejuvenate hair.
Your skin issues can also be tackled by focusing on an inside-out approach. Stay hydrated, sip warm water throughout the day to balance Pitta. For a clearer face, you might want to mix a paste of turmeric and sandalwood with a bit of milk, apply it as a face mask weekly.
However, your low blood levels and prolonged bleeding may require immediate allopathic attention alongside Ayurvedic remedies. Please consult with a healthcare professional for any acute symptoms to ensure a safe and efficacious approach.
