Hello Sadaf,To better guide you on your treatment, I would need more information about your overall health, lifestyle, and any specific symptoms you experience with your autoimmune condition (ITP) or fibroids. Are there any recent changes in your menstrual cycle, such as the duration, pain, or specific changes in the heaviness of bleeding? How are your energy levels, and do you experience any other symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, or joint pain? Additionally, are there any triggers or patterns you have noticed in terms of flare-ups of your ITP or fibroid growth? Understanding your diet, sleep, and stress levels would also provide a more complete view of your health.

Hello, To recommend Ashoka tablets safely, I need more information. How heavy is your bleeding, and how many days does your period last? Have you had a recent pelvic ultrasound to check your endometrial thickness and fibroid size? Have your hormone levels, like estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and LH, been assessed? Also, how often do you monitor your platelet count with ITP, and have you noticed any unusual bruising or bleeding? Are you on any blood thinners or hormonal treatments? These details will help provide a more personalized and safer recommendation.

Ashoka tablets, known for their benefits to the female reproductive system, can be quite helpful in regulating periods and minimizing heavy bleeding. But since you have an autoimmune condition like ITP and a fibroid, it’s crucial to take a tailored approach.

Firstly, the Ashoka tree (Saraca indica) has been traditionally used in Ayurveda to support women’s health, particularly with regards to menstrual disorders. For someone in your situation, it’s important to approach this with caution. Please, I can’t stress this enough, talk to your doctor or a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting anything new. There’s potential for interaction with your current medications or your health conditions.

If they give you the go-ahead, a common dose for ashoka tablets in adult women is around 1-2 tablets (usually 250-500mg per tablet) twice daily, preferably taken with warm water after meals. However, this can vary based on the brand and formulation, so follow the advice of a healthcare provider or the instructions on the bottle.

Given you’re also taking Planet Ayurveda Plato Plan tablets and syrup, keep an eye on how your body reacts to the combination. Ensuring that both functions synergistically is key. An autoimmune condition like ITP might influence how your body responds, so it’s pivotal to monitor any changes carefully.

Consider lifestyle and diet too: Eat sattvic foods that balance your doshas, avoid those that amplify vata which may aggravate bleeding. Focus on warm, cooked meals with spices such as ginger and cinnamon to help strengthen agni without overheating.

Lastly, while Ashoka might aid in managing symptoms, addressing the root cause—such as stress or lifestyle factors—is vital. Consistently practicing gentle yoga and meditation can complement treatment and foster overall well-being. While it’s great to explore natural options, safety and efficacy should always come first.
