Doctors’ responses
Experiencing low blood flow during periods could be attributed to various reasons, including stress, hormonal imbalances, or even nutritional deficiencies. Though it might be normal for some, it’s important to pay attention to other symptoms like irregular, missed periods, or significant changes from your usual cycle, which might need a closer look by a healthcare professional.
In terms of Ayurveda, the key is to balance Vata dosha, which governs the downward movement and flow in the body. When out of balance, it may lead to disturbances in menstrual flow. Here are a few suggestions that focus on balancing this dosha and improving your period blood flow:
1. **Dietary Adjustments**: Consider incorporating warm, easy-to-digest, and nourishing foods. Opt for cooked meals over raw, focusing on root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes, and include healthy fats like ghee, sesame oil, or coconut oil to support hormonal health.
2. **Herbal Teas**: Drinking ginger or fennel tea can be beneficial. Ginger is heating and helps stimulate blood flow, while fennel aids in balancing hormones. Prepare by boiling a teaspoon of grated ginger or fennel seeds in a cup of water for about 5 minutes, strain and drink warm after meals.
3. **Daily Routine**: Regular meal times and sleep patterns help regulate hormones. Prioritize rest, especially during your menstrual phase, avoiding strenuous activities during the first two days of bleeding.
4. **Stay Hydrated**: Sometimes, low blood flow is a sign of dehydration. Ensure you’re drinking adequate amounts of water. Warm water or herbal teas, are especially favorable.
5. **Herbal Supplements**: Ashoka or Shatavari may help in supporting the reproductive system and normalizing menstrual cycles. However, it would be beneficial to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal medication, to ensure it suits your individual Prakriti (constitution).
6. **Castor Oil Pack**: Applying a castor oil pack on the lower abdomen can improve flow and relieve cramps. Soak a cloth in castor oil, place it directly on your lower abdomen, cover it with a plastic wrap, and then put a hot water bottle on top for added heat. Leave it for about 30-45 minutes several times a week, especially leading up to your period.
If these don't lead to noticeable improvement after a few menstrual cycles or if you face any other symptoms, make sure to consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions. Addressing the root cause is essential for long-term health and well-being.
