HELLO AALIYA,
Your symptoms suggest a possible hormonal imbalance, most likely Polycystic ovary syndrome(pcos) or similar conditions, which are common in young women and can cause -irregular periods -short bleeding(2-3 days) -weight gain, especially around the belly - hair thing and hairfall
According to Ayurveda, your symptoms indicate an imbalance in kapha and vata doshas and possible digestive fire dysfunction. These imbalances can lead to -improper metabolism- medo Dhatu dushti-> weight gain -rasa and rakta Dhatu imbalance(causing hairfall and irregular cycles) - hormonal disruption-linked to shukra dhatu and artava dushti
PCOD means that your ovaries are not working normally. Instead of releasing one healthy egg every month, your ovaries are producing many small immature eggs that stay inside and form small fluid- filled sacs or cysts
Think of your body as a system of hormones that must stay in balance.
IN PCOD -the body makes too many male hormones which women also have in small amounts - this stops ovulation, causing irregular or no periods -it also affect insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar. If insulin is not working properly(insulin resistance), it makes the body gain weight and worsens pcod.
In Ayurveda, PCOD is caused by an imbalance in the kapha and vata doshas, leading to -ama(toxins) blocking the channels in your ovaries -slow metabolism(poor digestion- weak agni) - hormonal irregularities - stress(aggravates vata) adding to iiregularity

Based on the symptoms you described, it seems like there may be an imbalance in your doshas, particularly Vata and possibly Kapha, influencing your menstrual cycle, weight, and hair health. In Ayurveda, a personalized approach is important for rebalancing these aspects.
First, regulating your menstrual cycle: Ensure your diet is rich in warm and cooked foods which are grounding – such as moong dal, brown rice, and steamed vegetables. Avoid processed, cold, and heavy foods that can increase Kapha dosha. Include herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari, beneficial for balancing hormones. A decoction prepared from jaggery and ginger can help regulate the cycle. Consume this on an empty stomach for best results.
For weight and belly fat: Trikatu, a blend of long pepper, black pepper, and ginger, can help stimulate metabolism. You can take a teaspoon half an hour before meals, with warm water. Engage in regular physical activity; Yoga asanas like Surya Namaskar and Kapalbhati pranayama are particularly effective.
For hair health: Consider oils like Bhringraj or Sesame oil, warming them slightly before a scalp massage can improve circulation and support hair growth. Avoid chemical-based hair products, and wash hair with natural herbal powder mixtures like Amla and Shikakai.
Stress management is also crucial, as stress can exacerbate hormonal imbalances. Incorporate daily meditation or deep breathing exercises. Ensure you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
These actions can gradually restore balance, but monitor your symptoms and consult with an ayurvedic practitioner if necessary. Sometimes, underlying conditions require more specialized attention. Always consult with healthcare professional for personalized advice tailored to your specific health needs.
hello aaliya, Your cycle is not just late it’s also weak and short, which means your hormones aren’t triggering a proper ovulation and cleansing each month. When periods don’t come on time, the body accumulates Kapha and Ama (toxins), which get stored as belly fat and cause water retention, sluggish metabolism, and acne or hair fall. Hair fall is connected here because when your cycle and hormones are off, the body doesn’t nourish the hair roots. So the roots become weak, the hair thins, and falls before its time. Also, androgen (male hormone) imbalance causes hair loss from the scalp and sometimes even unwanted facial hair.
This focuses on correcting the cycle, balancing hormones, and restarting healthy ovulation and hair growth.
Internal Medicines:
Rajapravartini Vati – 1 tab twice a day after food (for 10 days before expected period) Ashokarishta – 20 ml with 20 ml water twice a day after meals Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tabs twice a day after meals (melts cysts/fat and balances thyroid/PCOS)
For Hair Fall (internal + external):
Narasimha Rasayanam – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk Bringaraj Taila or Neelibhringadi Taila – Massage 3x/week and leave overnight
Avoid: Sugar, bakery, curd, cold food, maida, and milk-based sweets Eat: Moong dal, cooked veggies, warm ghee rice, methi, curry leaves, and cinnamon Start day with: 1 tsp soaked methi seeds + warm water, then light breakfast Mid-morning: 1 glass of fresh coriander water or jeera water Dinner: Lightest meal – khichdi, soup, or steamed veg Take warm water every hour
Simple Asanas (15 mins daily) These will regulate your cycle and reduce belly fat:
Malasana (Garland pose) – deep pelvic stretch Baddha Konasana (Butterfly pose) – improves ovaries Setubandhasana (Bridge pose) – balances hormones Ustrasana (Camel pose) – reduces abdominal fat End with Anulom Vilom pranayama – 5 minutes
l Investigations Pelvic ultrasound (to check for PCOS or cysts) TSH, LH, FSH, Prolactin, and Testosterone Vitamin D3, B12, and Ferritin
This can all be corrected naturally with discipline and the right herbs. We just need to reset your hormones, digestion, and metabolism. Your periods and hair will both recover in sync.
