The issue you’re experiencing with irregular and scanty menstruation, alongside some discomfort on the first day of your cycle, can often be understood through the lens of Ayurveda by looking at your doshas. Irregular periods often indicate an imbalance in Vata dosha, while the scanty flow may signal a Kapha imbalance. Let’s walk through some ideas to help restore balance.
Firstly, consider your diet. In Ayurveda, nourishing your dhatus or tissues is essential. Include warm, cooked foods with good fats—think ghee, sesame oil or coconut oil. Incorporating foods like lentils, almonds and beets can be beneficial. Avoid excessive raw or cold foods, as they can increase Vata.
Regarding lifestyle, establishing a routine can support your menstrual cycle regularity. Wake up and sleep at the same time daily, even on weekends. Gentle yoga, especially poses that enhance the flow of prana to the pelvic region, such as Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) or Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) could provide relief and promote balance.
Herbs are another valuable tool. Ashwagandha is known for stabilizing Vata. However, before taking any herb, especially if you are on other medication or have specific conditions, consulting with a local Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended.
Hydration is crucial too. Drinking warm water throughout the day can aid in maintaining smooth digestion, which is often correlated with menstrual health in Ayurveda.
Finally, the discomfort on the first day might be related to blocked apana vayu, the downward force that governs elimination. Ensure you’re passing motions regularly, as constipation can disturb apana. A teaspoon of triphala powder with warm water before bed can support regularity.
If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek advice from a healthcare professional, as sometimes merging conventional wisdom with Ayurveda provides the most comprehensive care. Adjust these suggestions to match your comfort, and observe how your body responds.
