क्या मैं पीरियड्स शुरू होने के बाद शतावरी और कुमारी आसव ले सकती हूँ? - #47994

YES YOU CAN USE SHATAVARI POWDER AND KUMARI ASAV TOGETHER BUT WITH SOME IMPORTANT CAUTIONS GIVEN THAT YOU ARE POSTPARTUM BREASTFEEDING AND HAVE FATTY LIVER

AFTER DELIVERY AND DURING BREASTFEEDING IT IS VERY COMMON FOR PERIODS TO RETURN AS LIGHT OR DRY THIS HAPPENS DUE TO HORMONAL SHIFTS FLUID DEPLETION AND GENERAL TISSUE RECOVERY STILL GOING ON SO THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL AND DOES NOT MEAN SOMETHING IS WRONG

SHATAVARI POWDER IS VERY SUITABLE FOR YOU IT SUPPORTS HORMONAL BALANCE NOURISHES REPRODUCTIVE TISSUES HELPS WITH DRYNESS AND IS SAFE DURING LACTATION IT ALSO SUPPORTS EMOTIONAL CALMNESS AND GENTLY AIDS DIGESTION DOSAGE HALF TEASPOON ONCE OR TWICE DAILY WITH WARM MILK OR WARM WATER AFTER FOOD

KUMARI ASAV CAN ALSO BE USED TO SUPPORT MENSTRUAL FLOW AND LIVER FUNCTION HOWEVER BECAUSE YOU HAVE FATTY LIVER AND ARE BREASTFEEDING IT SHOULD BE USED IN A LIMITED AND CAREFUL DOSE AS IT IS FERMENTED AND CAN BE STRONG IF OVERUSED DOSAGE 10 ML ONCE DAILY AFTER LUNCH DILUTED WITH EQUAL WATER DO NOT TAKE IT AT NIGHT AND DO NOT EXCEED THIS DOSE

YES THEY CAN BE TAKEN TOGETHER BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME TAKE SHATAVARI MORNING OR NIGHT AND KUMARI ASAV ONLY AFTER LUNCH THIS REDUCES LOAD ON THE LIVER AND DIGESTION

IF YOUR FLOW IS LIGHT BUT PAIN IS MILD THERE IS NO NEED TO PUSH THE BODY TO BLEED MORE RIGHT NOW THE GOAL IS NOURISHMENT AND STABILITY NOT FORCING HEAVIER PERIODS

AVOID VERY OILY FRIED AND PROCESSED FOODS EAT SIMPLE WARM HOME COOKED MEALS ADD A LITTLE GHEE RATHER THAN HEAVY OILS WALK DAILY EVEN LIGHT WALKING HELPS LIVER METABOLISM

IF YOU NOTICE INCREASED ACIDITY LOOSE MOTIONS OR WEAKNESS STOP KUMARI ASAV AND CONTINUE ONLY SHATAVARI IF PERIODS STOP AGAIN WHILE BREASTFEEDING THAT CAN ALSO BE NORMAL

OVERALL SHATAVARI IS THE MAIN SUPPORT FOR YOU KUMARI ASAV IS OPTIONAL AND SHOULD BE USED SHORT TERM AND IN LOW DOSE GIVEN YOUR FATTY LIVER

Maintain healthy weight (key for fatty liver reversal)

Hello Thanks for sharing your details. I get why you’re concerned—being 9 months postpartum, just getting your periods back, and dealing with fatty liver isn’t easy. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

Here’s what’s going on from an Ayurvedic angle:

If your periods are light or a bit dry, that usually means your body’s still rebuilding after pregnancy—what we call Rasa & Artava kshaya, plus a bit of Vata dominance.

Fatty liver points to a mix of Kapha and Meda imbalance, along with some sluggish digestion (Agnimandya).

Bloating now and then just adds to that picture. Basically, your system needs gentle care right now.

Can you take Shatavari and Kumari Asava together?

Shatavari Churna: Absolutely, go for it. It’s safe and helps bring your hormones back on track, nourishes your uterus, and aids digestion—so it’s a win, especially after childbirth.

Take half a teaspoon twice a day, after meals, with warm milk. If milk bothers you, warm water works too.

Kumari Asava: Hold off on this one. Yes, it can help with irregular or scanty periods and does support the liver, but here’s the catch: it contains self-generated alcohol, which isn’t great if you have fatty liver If you’re breastfeeding, it’s a definite no.

My advice?

Skip Kumari Asava for now—especially if you’re still nursing or your liver enzymes are up.

What can you use instead?

Aloe Vera Juice (fresh and without preservatives) is gentle on your liver, non-alcoholic, and safe. Try 15–20 ml once a day on an empty stomach.

Phalaghrita is another good option—one teaspoon at night with warm milk. It helps with menstrual flow and strengthens the uterus. Both of these are much better suited for your current phase.

A few diet and lifestyle changes help too:

Stick to warm, freshly cooked meals. Use a little ghee. Veggies like bottle gourd, ridge gourd, and pumpkin are good choices. Sip warm water through the day.

Steer clear of fried, bakery, and junk foods, as well as cold drinks and late-night eating.

When will things improve?

With the right support, your periods should get better over 2–3 cycles. Postpartum cycles often take a while to settle down, so give your body some time—dryness should ease up gradually.

To sum up:

Shatavari churna: Yes, go ahead.
Kumari Asava: Best to avoid for now.
Aloe vera juice or Phalaghrita: Much safer options.

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Yes you can Also I would like suggest 1) Dashmoolarisht Syrup - 15ml Twice a day after food with water for 1 month. It will help your body to recover well after delivery.

✅ Safer Approach - You can take Shatavari powder (½ teaspoon in warm milk daily) for dryness and mild cramps. - Avoid Kumari Asav for now due to fatty liver and breastfeeding. - For bloating and digestion, prefer light herbal teas (saunf, ajwain, jeera) instead of fermented asavas. - Focus on light, non-oily diet to support both liver and menstrual health.

Warm Regards DR. ANJALI SEHRAWAT
