I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

At 46 years, with TSH 6.6, night hot flushes, irregular periods for 1 year, fibromyalgia, and knee osteoarthritis, this is a very common but complex transition phase. The good news is: this can be managed well with the right approach.
I’ll explain what is happening, then give you a clear, practical solution.
🌿 What is going on in your body (simple explanation)
1️⃣ Perimenopause (main root cause)
Your symptoms strongly suggest perimenopause:
Hot flushes at night
Irregular periods
Joint pain & stiffness
Sleep disturbance
Anxiety / fatigue (often unspoken)
👉 Estrogen fluctuation directly worsens pain perception, thyroid function, and tinnitus.
2️⃣ Thyroid imbalance (TSH 6.6)
This is subclinical hypothyroidism
It increases muscle pain, joint pain, fatigue, weight gain
Thyroid imbalance mimics & worsens fibromyalgia
Many fibromyalgia patients improve once thyroid + hormones are balanced.
3️⃣ Fibromyalgia + Osteoarthritis together
Fibromyalgia → nerve hypersensitivity (pain everywhere)
Osteoarthritis (knees) → mechanical joint degeneration
➡️ Pain feels more severe because nerves are already sensitized
🌸 Ayurvedic understanding
This condition is mainly:
Vata ↑ (pain, tinnitus, insomnia)
Pitta ↑ (hot flushes, night heat)
Artava kshaya (hormonal transition)
✅ SOLUTION: Step-by-step integrated plan
🧪 Step 1: Medical safety (important)
Please ensure these tests (if not already done):
TSH, FT3, FT4 (repeat after 6–8 weeks)
Vitamin D
Vitamin B12
ESR / CRP (to rule inflammation)
⚠️ If TSH continues >6.5 with symptoms → low-dose thyroid medicine may be needed (do not ignore).
🌿 Step 2: Ayurvedic & natural management
🔹 A) For hot flushes + hormonal balance
Diet & lifestyle
Avoid coffee, spicy food, late dinners
Include:
Cow milk (warm, night)
Ghee (1 tsp daily)
Flaxseed powder (1 tsp/day)
Helpful herbs (doctor-guided)
Shatavari – best for perimenopause
Brahmi – calms nervous system
Ashwagandha – helps thyroid + pain + sleep
🔹 B) For fibromyalgia (nerve pain)
Daily Abhyanga (full body oil massage)
Sesame oil or Ksheerabala taila
Gentle stretching + walking
Avoid over-exercise (very important)
Fibromyalgia improves with consistency, not intensity.
🔹 C) For knee osteoarthritis
Local oil massage daily
Warm fomentation (hot towel)
Avoid stairs, squatting, sitting on floor
Ayurvedic support
Shallaki (Boswellia)
Guggulu formulations (under supervision)
🔹 D) For thyroid support
Early sleep (before 10:30 pm)
Stress reduction is mandatory
Avoid fasting & crash diets
🧘 One daily routine (15 minutes only)
5 min Anulom Vilom
5 min gentle neck + knee movements
5 min quiet sitting / prayer.
