For your irregular periods, especially given your PCOD condition, we can look at several Ayurvedic approaches to help balance your cycle. Irregular periods in Ayurveda are often linked to an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas, particularly for conditions like PCOD where Kapha can lead to blockages and Vata causes irregularities.
Firstly, to pacify Vata, incorporate a routine that includes regular mealtimes, and sleep schedule. Eating warm, cooked foods like soups, stews, and kichadi with warming spicesâcumin, ginger, and cinnamonâcan help. These aid in balancing Vata and improving digestive fire or agni. Avoid cold, raw foods which can further imbalance Vata.
For Kapha, limiting heavy, oily, excessively sweet foods is crucial. Opt for lighter meals that include plenty of fresh vegetables (especially green leafy ones), which help cleanse the body and support hormonal balance. Bitter and astringent tastes, like turmeric and neem, can also help manage Kapha. Ashwagandha and Shatavari are traditional supplements that may aid in harmonizing your hormonal profile.
Use Triphala, a combination of three fruits, which is beneficial in cleansing the system. Take a teaspoon in warm water before bed to maintain bowel regularity and support detoxification.
Exercise plays a vital role too; integrate at least 30 minutes of brisk walking or yoga daily. Specific yoga poses like the downward dog, reclined bound angle pose, and cat-cow stretches can support reproductive health.
If the periods remain absent for longer, it may be crucial to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to assess your personal constitution in detail. Additionally, while homeopathy can be supportive, itâs essential to coordinate these treatments with a qualified professional to ensure they are suitable and effective without conflicts.

hello Ishika, Absolutely, I understand how frustrating it can be to go months without a period especially when youâre someone who prefers natural healing methods. The fact that your periods have been irregular for 3â4 years and now have completely stopped for 4 months points to chronic PCOD with Apana Vata blockage and Kapha buildup in Ayurveda. In PCOD, your hormones get stuck in a loop of imbalance your digestion weakens, Kapha blocks your pelvic channels, Vata gets disturbed, and the natural monthly cycle is paused. But with consistent Ayurvedic medicines, gentle lifestyle changes, and diet, we can restart your cycle naturally and regularize it over time â no need for synthetic hormones.
Internal Medicines (6â8 weeks minimum):
Pushyanuga Churna â 1 tsp with honey + warm water before food twice daily Sukumaram Kashayam â 15 ml with 45 ml warm water before food twice daily Rajahpravartini Vati â 1 tablet at night after food Kanchanara Guggulu â 2 tablets twice a day after food Ashokarishta â 20 ml + 20 ml water after meals Once your period starts, we can switch to a monthly maintenance formula to prevent gaps.
Pathya :
Start your day with 1 tsp cow ghee + warm water Do 15â20 min brisk walking or gentle yoga daily Include jeera, methi, ajwain, haldi in cooking Eat warm home-cooked meals: moong dal, green vegetables, lauki, beetroot, drumstick
Take soaked raisins + 5 almonds + 2 dates in the morning Bedtime: ½ tsp Shatavari powder in warm milk (to regulate hormones) Sleep by 10.30 PM and avoid screens late night
Apathya (What to Avoid):
Cold water, curd, raw salads, smoothies Bakery, maida, cheese, junk food Stress, anxiety, late nights Skipping meals, overeating Excess sitting without movement
Tests if Not Recently Done:
Pelvic USG (to check current PCOD status) Serum FSH, LH, AMH, TSH HbA1c or fasting sugar Vitamin D3 and B12
Your periods can come back naturally with regular Ayurvedic care. Donât lose hope youâre young, your body is just imbalanced, not broken. Letâs help your body fall back into rhythm gently and steadily.

HELLO ISHIKA,
You said your periods have been irregular for 3-4 years and have stopped completely for the last 4 months. You have been diagnosed with PCOD.
In PCOD, -your ovaries develop many small cysts-fluid filled sacs -hormonal imbalance occurs-too much male hormone(androgens) and not enough of the hormones that regulate periods(like FSH and LH)
As a result -ovulation (release of eggs) doesnât happen properly -periods become delayed, irregular or absent - you may notice weight gain, acne, facial hairs and mood swings
In Ayurveda, PCOD is due to -Kapha dosha increase-causing heaviness , slow metabolism, cyst formation -Vata dosha disturbance-blocking normal flow of hormones and menstruation -Agni(digestive fire) is weak, causing Ama(toxins) buildup in reproductive tissues(Artava dhatu)
TREATMENT GOAL -regulating the menstrual cycle -balancing hormones -improving digestion and metabolism - reducing cyst formation and ama - improving digestion and metabolism -reducing cyst formation and ama - improving ovulation and fertility -cleansing and toning reproductive system

Diet and Lifestyle
Pathya: Exercise, asana, pranayama.
Apathya: Avoiding stress. Avoid high calorie, fat, bakery items in
Irregular periods, particularly with PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease), often occur due to an imbalance in the doshas, especially kapha and vata, within the bodyâs systems. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, addressing these imbalances is key. First, dietary habits can play a crucial role. Focus on a diet rich in whole foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. Avoid processed foods, excessive dairy, and sugary items that might exacerbate kapha imbalance.
Herbal formulations can be supportive. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) are traditionally utilized for regularizing menstrual cycles. You can prepare a decoction with these herbs and consume it once a day. Additionally, incorporating turmeric and cinnamon in your diet can help stimulate your digestive fire (agni) and reduce kapha.
Engage in regular physical activities such as yoga or brisk walking to balance vata and reduce kapha. Practices like Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) are recommended for regulating menstrual cycles. Stress management is also crucial; meditative practices, like pranayama and dhyana, can help in calming vata dosha and reducing hormonal fluctuations.
Pay attention to your daily routine. Try to sleep early, wake up at the same time each day, and eat meals at regularly spaced intervals. Adequate hydration is important; drink warm water or herbal teas to support detoxification.
However, if your amenorrhea persists or you notice other worrying symptoms, itâs vital to consult with a healthcare professional who can offer a detailed assessment. Ayurveda can skillfully complement allopathic approaches, ensuring you have a comprehensive plan for health and well-being.
