What is the function of progesterone hormone and how does Ayurveda regulate it? - #16606

I’ve been dealing with hormonal imbalances for a while now, especially related to my menstrual cycle and mood swings. After some tests, my doctor told me that my progesterone levels are low, which might be affecting my ability to conceive. I’ve been reading up on the role of progesterone, and I learned that it’s a crucial hormone for maintaining a healthy pregnancy and regulating the menstrual cycle. I also found that low progesterone levels can lead to irregular periods, mood swings, and difficulty getting pregnant. Since I’m not keen on using synthetic hormones, I started looking for natural ways to balance progesterone and support reproductive health. I know that Ayurveda has an extensive understanding of hormonal balance and reproductive health, so I’m curious about how it views progesterone. Does Ayurveda have a different approach to progesterone imbalance compared to modern medicine? I’ve read that Ayurveda considers reproductive health as an expression of overall vitality and that herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha are often recommended for balancing hormones. Can Ayurvedic remedies like these really help increase progesterone levels naturally? I also wonder if Vata dosha is at play in my case since I tend to feel anxious, restless, and emotionally drained. Could a Vata imbalance be contributing to my low progesterone? Are there Ayurvedic lifestyle changes, dietary recommendations, or herbal teas that can support progesterone production and regulate menstrual health naturally? If anyone has successfully balanced their hormones using Ayurvedic treatments, I’d love to hear what worked for you.
