Hi Mary, are you trying to conceive in that case? Please check your UPT. Also has this happened for the first time or does it happen regularly? Also, have you taken any medication in the last month or were sick for sometime? if it has happened for the first time, Don’t worry about it. Sometimes, our eating habits or lifestyle changes or excessive stress can cause these kind of hormonal imbalances. We can wait for another week, Until then, you can get your pregnancy test done. Immediately, if you’re not trying to conceive, you can start having sesame seeds(black) 1 tsp on empty stomach with 1/2 tsp jaggery. Have CCF(coriander, Cumin , Fennel) tea regularly. Have a bowlful of papaya everyday. If you do not get your periods in another week, do let us know.

It’s possible that your fasting and eating habits are playing a role in delaying your period. Fasting for an extended period can disrupt your body’s rhythm, impacting your hormones and cycle. In Ayurveda, these imbalances are often related to Vata dosha, which governs movement and is easily aggravated by irregular eating patterns.

After fasting all day and then eating more than your capacity might increase Kapha and lead to digestive issues. When Agni (digestive fire) is weakened, it struggles to process large meals efficiently, leading to ama (toxins), possibly manifesting as pimples.

Try eat small portions slowly when you break your fast to avoid overloading your system. Warm, nourishing foods can support your Agni. A congee made from rice, boiled with spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric could help balance Vata and Kapha. Sip warm water or herbal teas like cumin-coriander-fennel throughout the day to keep the digestive fire strong.

Ensure you’re consuming enough healthy fats, like ghee or sesame oil, which nurture tissues and support healthy menstruation. Steamed vegetables, soaked nuts can provide balancing nourishment. Listen to your body’s hunger and fullness signals—stop before feeling full while eating, especially after fasting.

Pimples and acne might indicate excess Pitta or ama in your system. Keep hydrated, and use neem or aloe vera on the affected skin area for soothing. Practicing gentle yoga or pranayama can calm Vata and support hormonal balance.

If your period doesn’t return soon or you’re experiencing other symptoms, consider visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare provider for a personalized evaluation. Maintaining body balance is key, but sometimes checking in with a professional clarifies things.
