Oh, that sounds tough. Irregular periods can be super frustrating and considering stress and diet are affecting – it makes sense. Stress really can play tricks on our hormones, leading to an imbalance like this. Irregularities with work and food aren’t helping; they can upset the natural rhythm of your body.
From an Ayurvedic view, irregular periods might be linked to vata imbalance. When Vata dosha goes outta balance, it can make periods irregular or delay them. So let’s tackle this with a few practical steps, k?
First off, nutrition. Can you manage to fit in three meals a day without too much fuss at work? Eating at regular intervals helps support your digestive agni (fire). Prefer warm, cooked foods – stuff like kichari or dal rice, maybe with ghee – to calm vata. You could keep snacks like nuts or fruit handy, just avoid skipping meals or fasting.
Try drinking warm water or herbal teas during the day, like ginger tea. Keeping the body warm avoids vata aggravation.
Now, about reducing stress - easier said than done, right? But daily practices like yoga or simple breathing exercises work wonders to balance both body and mind. Even if you spare 10-15 mins for deep breathing, that can soothe vata and help stabilize your moods.
Switch off work modes and totally relax before bed - warm baths with lavender oil just feel wonderful for balancing vata. Try going to sleep & waking up same time. It helps the body’s rhythms sync better.
If symptoms persist, or new ones show up, consult a doctor. Ayurveda takes time and effort, especially with irregularities like this one.
Remember, it’s all about gradually making small changes and finding a balance that works for you. Take care!
