Hello Svetlana ji, I can understand your concern about your daughter. First of all, it’s important to understand that absence of periods (amenorrhea) for more than 2 months in an 18-year-old can have many possible causes – stress, sudden weight changes, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid imbalance, PCOS, or even just irregular cycles that sometimes occur in the first few years after menarche
✅ROLE OF AMLA
Amla is Rasayana (rejuvenative), rich in Vitamin C, antioxidants, and supports hormonal balance, digestion, and immunity. It is not a strong period-inducing medicine but it gently helps regulate metabolism, nourishes blood (Rakta dhatu), and reduces stress-related imbalances. In Ayurveda, for young girls with irregular cycles, Amla is often used as a general tonic rather than a direct emmenagogue.
✅ Dosage & Strength
If using Amla powder (Churna): 1–2 grams (about ½ tsp) mixed with warm water or honey, once or twice daily.
If using Amla capsules/tablets: usually 500 mg – 1 g twice daily is sufficient.
Juice form: 10–20 ml once daily diluted with water. 👉 In her case, a mild–moderate strength is enough. No need for very strong or high doses.
✅ How to Take
Best taken on an empty stomach in the morning (juice or powder). If she has sensitive digestion or acidity, better to take after breakfast with warm water. Avoid combining with very sour or spicy foods at the same time.
✅ADDITIONAL MEDICATION 1 Shatavari kalpa 1 tsp with warm milk once a day
✅SUPPORTIVE HOME REMEDIES-
Along with Amla, the following may help regulate cycles naturally
Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric & 1 tsp sesame seeds at night (supports hormones & calcium).
Jaggery + roasted sesame seeds snack a few times a week.
Stress-relieving practices- yoga, meditation, deep breathing, good sleep.
✅ Important Note
Since the absence of periods has continued for over 2 months, please do not rely only on Amla.
A medical check-up is essential to: Rule out PCOS, thyroid disorder, anemia, or hormonal imbalance.
Ensure she is getting proper nutrition during this critical age.
Wishing her a good health😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

When considering Amla (Indian Gooseberry) supplement for a young woman experiencing amenorrhea, or absence of periods, it’s crucial to first understand the broader picture of her health. Stress can significantly impact menstrual cycles by affecting hormonal balance. Amla, known for its rejuvenative properties and rich Vitamin C content, can support overall wellness and stress resilience, but it should not be relied upon as the sole solution for menstrual issues.
For an 18-year-old girl under stress, the focus might benefit from addressing stress management alongside dietary supplementation. In Ayurveda, we often look at balancing Vata dosha, which could be disrupted by stress, leading to irregular periods. Before starting Amla supplementation, it’d be wise to consult with a healthcare provider, especially to rule out any underlying conditions that might need more targeted intervention.
Generally, a moderate dose of Amla, about 1 to 2 grams of the powder or an equivalent dose in capsule form daily, can be supportive. Amla typically can be taken on an empty stomach in the morning, which is traditionally considered beneficial for absorption, but some individuals might find taking it with meals reduces any mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
In terms of stress management, practices like yoga and meditation can be invaluable for calming the mind and balancing Vata. Additionally, incorporating a routine of warm, grounding foods - such as soups or cooked grains - can be supportive. Avoiding excessive caffeine and cold foods is also advised.
Remember, for significant or prolonged health concerns like amenorrhea, especially in young women, it is essential to seek advice from a healthcare provider to ensure comprehensive care and avoid potential complications. While Amla can help support general health, it should be part of a broader strategy that addresses lifestyle, diet, and emotional well-being.
Please get a usg done. Amla has no specific role in amenorrhea nor will it help in getting her periods.
Establish the proper cause of missed mensis specially as u stated she is in stress so as to treat any condition like PCOS/PCOD or any kind of hormonal imbalance as early as possible
Considering the absence of periods, or amenorrhea, for two months in an 18-year-old, it is important to approach the situation with a focus on balancing her doshas, particularly vata and, possibly, pitta. Amla, known for its rasayana (rejuvenating) properties, is beneficial but should be part of a broader strategy. The strength of amla supplement widely depends on the form it is being taken - whether as powder (churna), fresh juice, or capsules.
For powders, dosages often range from 1–3 grams per day, but for an 18-year-old, starting on the lower end with about 1 gram twice daily might be appropriate. If in capsule form, follow the product’s guidance, typically around 250–500 mg. Amla is best taken on an empty stomach in the morning but can also be taken after meals if digestive distress is a concern.
However, given her stress levels and sensitivities, integrating lifestyle modifications is equally crucial. Encourage deep breathing exercises, gentle yoga, and regular sleep patterns to manage stress levels. Dietary considerations, such as warm, nourishing foods that balance vata, could help too — think soups, cooked grains, and spices like ginger and black pepper.
Do keep in mind, persistent amenorrhea requires medical attention as it could indicate underlying health conditions. Consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any serious issues is urgent. The ayurvedic measures should supplement, not replace, professional medical advice.
