menstrual cycle phases - #18375
I recently started tracking my menstrual cycle, and I want to understand the different phases, how they affect health, and whether Ayurveda offers natural ways to balance hormones and regulate periods. From what I read, the menstrual cycle consists of four phases: the menstrual phase, follicular phase, ovulation phase, and luteal phase. Each phase is controlled by hormonal fluctuations that affect mood, energy levels, digestion, and reproductive health. Irregularities in the cycle can be caused by stress, poor diet, hormonal imbalances, or underlying health conditions. I sometimes experience irregular periods, mood swings, and bloating before my cycle begins—could these be signs of hormonal imbalance or cycle disruption? Does Ayurveda classify menstrual cycle issues as a Vata, Pitta, or Kapha imbalance, and what are the best natural ways to regulate hormones and improve menstrual health? Additionally, I want to know whether diet and lifestyle choices affect menstrual cycle phases. I consume a lot of processed and dairy-heavy foods, and I have read that these can increase estrogen levels and disrupt ovulation—could my diet be affecting my cycle regularity? Does Ayurveda recommend specific herbs, foods, or detox therapies to support hormonal balance and menstrual flow? I have read that Shatavari, Ashoka, and Lodhra are beneficial for balancing hormones and regulating menstrual cycles—would these help in naturally managing irregular periods and reducing PMS symptoms? Are there any Ayurvedic teas, herbal formulations, or yoga practices that can help in supporting a healthy menstrual cycle? Since I prefer natural reproductive health support, I am looking for Ayurvedic treatments that can balance menstrual phases, reduce PMS symptoms, and regulate hormone levels naturally. Please provide detailed Ayurvedic insights on menstrual cycle phases, their impact, and Ayurvedic approaches to maintaining a healthy cycle.

I have been tracking my periods, but sometimes my cycle length changes, making it difficult to predict my ovulation window.

I want to know if Ayurveda has natural ways to track ovulation, regulate cycles, and improve fertility. I also experience occasional irregular cycles, mild cramps, and mood swings—could my hormonal fluctuations be affecting my ovulation and chances of conception?

Since I prefer natural fertility solutions, I am looking for Ayurvedic treatments that can regulate ovulation, improve menstrual cycles, and enhance reproductive health naturally. Please provide detailed Ayurvedic insights on ovulation, its meaning, and Ayurvedic approaches to fertility support.
