what happens if we eat curd during periods - #24044
I am really concerned about something I heard the other day. I mean, I always thought eating curd was super healthy, right? But then, my friend said that we should avoid curd during periods... like, what happens if we eat curd during periods instead? I’ve been struggling with cramps and mood swings lately, and curd is one of the few things that actually calms my stomach. I was just enjoying my usual bowl of yogurt with fruits when she freaked out and said it could make my cramps worse. That got me thinking—should I really be switching to something else? I don’t feel like I can resist not having curd, especially with all the probiotics and goodness in it. But also, periods can make everything feel like a rollercoaster. If curd is really a bad idea during this time, can someone please explain what happens if we eat curd during periods? Like, does it really make cramps worse or is that just a myth? Super confused right now!

natural remedies for vaginal dryness - #17337
For the past few months, I’ve been experiencing vaginal dryness, and it’s becoming really uncomfortable. I started noticing it after I turned 40, so I wonder if it’s related to hormonal changes. It’s not just dryness—it sometimes causes itching, discomfort during intimacy, and even mild irritation throughout the day. I went to my doctor, and they suggested over-the-counter lubricants, but I don’t want to just mask the problem—I want to fix it naturally. That’s why I started researching natural remedies for vaginal dryness, and Ayurveda kept coming up as a possible solution. I read that Shatavari is one of the best Ayurvedic herbs for women’s reproductive health. Can it actually help restore natural moisture? Are there any herbal oils or natural lubricants that are safe and effective for vaginal dryness? I also wonder if my diet is affecting this. Are there foods that can help balance hormones and improve natural lubrication? I’ve heard that flaxseeds and sesame seeds are good sources of phytoestrogens—should I be including more of these in my diet? I really want to solve this issue naturally and restore my body’s balance. Has anyone here found natural remedies for vaginal dryness that actually worked?
