✅POSSIBLE CAUSES

Hormonal imbalance Slow metabolism or digestive weakness (Mandagni) Lack of physical activity, excessive salt, or cold food intake Emotional stress or irregular sleep

✅AYURVEDIC MEDICATION

1. Kanchanar Guggulu 1-0-1 after food – balances thyroid and reduces Kapha-related swelling and water retention.

2. Ashokarishta 30ml-0-30ml after food – regulates hormones and menstrual flow.

3. M2 tone capsule 1-0-1 after food

4. Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water to improve digestion and detoxification.

✅LIFESTYLE AND DIET MODIFICATION

✅Include- Include light, warm, and easily digestible food — moong dal soup, bottle gourd, red rice, beetroot, and leafy greens.

Drink lukewarm water with a pinch of dry ginger or cumin seeds to reduce bloating.

Regular walking or yoga (Surya Namaskar, Setu Bandhasana, Baddha Konasana) improves circulation and hormone balance.

Sleep early and wake up early — hormonal balance is best supported by a regular routine.

❌Avoid

Cold, heavy, or oily foods, dairy at night, excess salt or sweets. Junk food, carbonated drinks, and irregular eating patterns. Long sitting hours without movement.

With Ayurvedic herbs like Kanchanar Guggulu, Ashokarishta, and a Kapha-reducing diet, both facial puffiness and hormonal balance can improve significantly.

Consistency in Ayurvedic routine for 2–3 months usually brings visible relief — your facial swelling will reduce and periods will become more regular and healthy.

Wishing you a good health😊

Facial bloating along with reduced menstrual flow might suggest an imbalance in your doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata. In Ayurveda, such symptoms can be linked to excess accumulation of water or Kapha in the body, alongside a weak digestive fire or Agni, and potential disruptions in Vata, which governs bodily movements, including the menstrual cycle.

Firstly, addressing your dietary habits is crucial. Reducing salty and processed foods can help decrease water retention. Incorporate more Kapha-pacifying foods like bitter greens, barley, or millets which are also good for balancing Vata. Make ginger tea a regular part of your routine, as it kindles digestive fire, reducing bloating.

For enhancing menstrual flow, introducing foods and herbs that promote circulation may be beneficial. A teaspoon of sesame seeds with warm water or milk starting a week before your period might help. Additionally, herbs like Ashoka and Shatavari are known for their uterine toning properties, though it is recommended to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for correct dosage and formulation.

Regular morning exercises can also help balance Kapha and stimulate circulation. Try integrating brisk walking or Yoga postures, particularly those focusing on the abdominal area. Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), can be supportive in calming Vata imbalances.

Also, consider self-massage with warm sesame oil to improve circulation and lymphatic flow. Apply it in the morning, leave it for around 20 minutes, and then take a warm shower.

It’s necessary to manage stress as it can exacerbate Vata imbalances. Establishing a regular sleep schedule and engaging in relaxation techniques like meditation or journaling before bed may be beneficial.

If these issues persist, though, it’s vital to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions needing medical attention. Monitoring and adapting lifestyle changes with Ayurvedic insights should aim towards restoring the natural balance of your body systems.

Facial bloating and short menstrual cycles may indicate underlying imbalances in your body’s doshas. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic framework, facial bloating is often linked to a vitiation of Kapha dosha. This dosha is related to water retention and lymphatic congestion and can lead to puffiness in the face. The irregular menstrual flow, on the other hand, may be a sign of a disturbed Vata dosha affecting the apana vayu, which governs the downward flow of energy, including menstruation. The key is to balance these doshas and strengthen your Agni, or digestive fire.

Start by modifying your diet to reduce Kapha and Vata. Reduce intake of dairy, sweets, and salty snacks, as they can increase Kapha. Make sure to drink warm water frequently to stimulate the Agni. Avoid cold and refrigerated foods, which can disturb Vata and Kapha alike.

Incorporate herbs like Triphala, which can help improve digestion and support detoxification. A daily dose of Triphala churna before bedtime may be beneficial but check your local health professional before adding it to your regimen. Also, consider including ginger tea; its warming properties help stimulate Agni and balance Vata.

Regular physical activity, especially activities like yoga, can support fluid movement and help balance both doshas. Try gentle poses like downward-facing dog and supine twists to promote circulation and fluid drainage.

Finally, take time for abhyanga or self-massage with warm sesame oil. It improves circulation and helps calm Vata, and reduce Kapha retention. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, do consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis. Balancing the doshas is crucial, yet it’s important to ensure no serious underlying conditions could be affecting your symptoms.
