HELLO AREBA,

Do you have pcos / thyroid? How much is your weight?? Irr ?? How many days it lasts?? Is associated with heavy bleeding?? With clots??
When dealing with hormonal imbalance, it’s essential to consider the root causes through an Ayurvedic perspective, focusing on doshas and lifestyle aspects. Hormonal imbalances often correspond to Vata and Pitta doshas disturbance. Here’s what you can do:
Start with your diet. Incorporate warm, cooked foods that’s easy on digestion; favor whole grains, such as rice and quinoa. Add warm spices like ginger, turmeric, and cumin to enhance the agni, or digestive fire. Avoid cold, raw and processed foods, which tends symptoms.
Practise regularity in meals, sleep, and activities as it brings harmony that helps balance Vata dosha, one of the potential aggravators of hormonal imbalance. Aim for going to bed by 10 PM and waking up early, around sunrise. Ensure consistent meal times (they should not fluctuate by more than one hour) to maintain the kapha rhythm.
Lifestyle changes, like yoga and pranayama, can be beneficial. Gentle yoga poses such as Supta Baddha Konasana and Setu Bandhasana help in balancing hormones by reducing stress. Similarly, pranayama exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can instill calm and balance.
Herbal remedies can support your hormonal health. Consider Ashwagandha, which is renowned for balancing metabolism and supporting reproductive health. Additionally, Shatavari, often used for female health issues, nourishes the reproductive system. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal supplements, to ensure they suit your specific constitution and condition.
Ensure regular check-ups with a healthcare provider to monitor your symptoms and progress. Ayurveda works best with patience and consistency, so give these approaches some time to see tangible results. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice promptly.
Hormonal imbalances can be quite challenging, but there’s a way to address it through Siddha-Ayurveda with a focus on your body’s natural constitution. First, identify whether your imbalance is more related to a vata, pitta, or kapha dosha disturbance, as each requires a different approach.
For vata dominance, ensure regularity in daily activities, avoid cold foods, and incorporate warm, cooked meals rich in ghee and warm spices like cumin and ginger. Pritority calm and stable lifestyle habits.
For pitta-related issues, cooling foods like cucumber and aloe vera juice might help. Avoid overly spicy foods and alcohol, as they can exacerbate symptoms. Ashwagandha can be beneficial in stabilizing your cycle and providing hormonal balance.
Kapha imbalances often necessitate more activity. Light exercises such as brisk walking or yoga can be effective here. Avoid heavy and rich foods that increase sluggishness; instead, prefer foods like quinoa, barley, and leafy greens.
Consider using traditional formulations like Ashokarishtam or Kumaryasavam for menstrual regularity. These should be taken according to specific instructions by a qualified practitioner. Balancing agni (digestive fire) is crucial, so consistent meal times and avoiding late-night eating will assist in rectifying irregular cycles.
Remember to avoid stress, as it has significant impact on hormonal cycles. Mindfulness practices, even basic pranayama (breathing exercises), can be beneficial.
If symptoms persist or worsen, seek further consultation ideally with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide tailored advice based on a more exhaustive examination of your prakriti. Always keep open communications with your healthcare providers about any treatment changes you make, ensuring they complement your overall health regimen.
