Doctors’ responses
It seems like your symptoms could be related to an imbalance in your body’s doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. The absence of proper menstrual flow, low hemoglobin (hb 13), hair fall, and dry, itchy skin indicate a possible depletion of vital fluids and nutrients, while the bitter taste in the mouth suggests excess Pitta or digestive issues. Ayurveda recommends a holistic approach that includes a balanced diet, proper hydration, stress management, and specific herbal treatments. You may benefit from nourishing your body with warm, grounding foods, oils like sesame or coconut for hydration, and herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari to support hormonal balance. It’s also important to check your digestion (Agni) and consider any underlying imbalances in your liver or gut health, which could be contributing to the bitter taste and skin dryness. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan.
It sounds like you’re dealing with a pretty challenging situation. When you’re experiencing no flow during periods, yet there’s no apparent deficiency—like with your Hb being 13 and vitamins in check—it’s time to look deeper beyond the usual suspects, ya know? Ayurveda views everything holistically, so let’s dig in.
Vata dosha imbalance could be behind your symptoms. Irregular menstruation, hair fall, dry skin, and a bitter taste in the mouth align with Vata’s airy and drying nature. A quick question, have you been under a lot of stress or anxious lately? That’s like fuel for Vata going wild.
First things first, get warmed up. Cold and dry ain’t Vata’s friend! Include more warm, oily foods in your diet—think soups, stews, and dishes with ghee or olive oil. Sweet, sour, and salty flavors can pacify Vata, so savor a balance of these in your meals. Maybe try consuming ripe fruits like bananas and papayas, which are grounding. Oh, and stay hydrated, but avoid cold drinks. Room temp or warm water suits better.
Massage your scalp and body with warm sesame oil. It nourishes tissues and roots, stimulating circulation—goodbye itchy skin and hair fall! Even 10 mins before a shower makes a difference.
Now on to herbs! Try Ashwagandha or Shatavari, just a teaspoon daily, with warm milk, especially before bedtime. It’s got calming vibes that settle chaos in body and mind. And for that bitter taste, could be digestive fire, agni, needing a tune-up. Drink ginger-turmeric tea; a pinch of each in hot water should help digest toxins, balancing that taste perception.
Stay consistent with yoga, pranayama, or meditation. Don’t need to go all out; even 10-15 minutes daily can build inner balance. But, if things don’t improve, if flow remains stubbornly absent, check with a gynecologist. It’s always wise to get a full picture from all perspectives.
