hello raj Laxmi,
Thank you for sharing what you’re going through. I can understand how worried and anxious you must be feeling right now. A delayed period, especially when you’re under stress and fasting, can be very confusing and overwhelming but you are not alone, and this is something the body can recover from with the right care. First, please know this: Stress and sudden changes in diet (like fasting) can significantly disturb your hormonal rhythm and ovulation. In Ayurveda, we say that Vata dosha gets aggravated when the body undergoes mental tension, irregular eating habits, or physical strain and this can delay periods, cause bloating, anxiety, sleep issues, and even affect digestion. Since you’ve taken multiple pregnancy tests and all are negative, pregnancy is ruled out. Now we focus on calming the system and gently inducing your period naturally.
Step-by-Step Plan
1. Relax Your Nervous System First (First 3–4 Days) When Vata is high, periods don’t come easily. So calm your body first. Warm sesame oil massage on lower abdomen and feet before bath Ashwagandha powder – ¼ tsp with warm milk at bedtime (calms mind and balances hormones) Sip warm cumin-fennel-ginger tea 2–3 times daily Eat warm, easy-to-digest meals – no raw salads or cold food
2. Natural Period-Inducing Remedies (From Day 4 onwards)
Rajahpravartini Vati – 2 tablets twice daily with lukewarm water for 5–7 days (to bring periods) Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (supports uterus and balances hormones) Hingvastaka Churna – 1 tsp after meals with warm water (removes bloating, ama, and regulates flow)
Dietary Tips Avoid cold water, fasting, and very spicy/junk food Use more cumin, ajwain, ginger, sesame, and ghee in food Avoid mental strain — even short walks in the sun can help reset the body Do gentle yoga or deep breathing (especially Nadi Shodhana pranayama) daily for 10 minutes
Are your periods usually regular or have they been irregular before too? Are you feeling more bloated, constipated, or emotionally heavy these days? Did you have any recent weight loss, anxiety, or sleep disturbance?
Investigations (if this repeats again): Serum TSH (Thyroid function) Serum Prolactin Pelvic ultrasound (to rule out PCOS if periods are often irregular) Hb, Vitamin D3, B12
Take a deep breath your body just needs a reset and gentle support. You’re young and your system can bounce back well with the right nourishment, warmth, and calmness. We’ll help your body come back to balance step-by-step.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

With a history of periods delayed for more than two weeks, repeated negative pregnancy tests, recent fasting, and high stress, the likely causes are hormonal imbalance and vata aggravation affecting the apana vayu flow. The aim will be to restore hormonal rhythm, reduce stress, and support natural menstrual onset.

HELLO RAJ LAXMI,
In Ayurveda, delayed periods (when menstruation is late by more than 15-20 days) is referred to as -Nashtartava=absence of menstruation -Artava dushti= disturbed or irregular menstrual flow
This condition is usually caused by an imbalance in vata and Pitta doshas, which govern movement and metabolism in your body. when these doshas are disturbed due to stress, improper food habits, excessive fasting, or emotional strain, they block the natural flow of menstrual blood
AYURVEDIC VIEW= WHY YOUR PERIODS MIGHT BE LATE
MENTAL STRESS= increases vata, disturbing hormonal balance and uterine function
EXCESSIVE FASTING= depletes body strength and affects reproductive health
HORMONAL IMBALANCE= affects regular ovulation and endometrial shedding
COLD EXPOSURE OR LIFESTYLE= aggravates vata and constricts channels
IMPROPER DIET= leads to toxin accumulation (ama) and affects reproductive fire
TREATMENT GOALS -Pacify the aggravated vata and pitta doshas -Stimulate the uterus and normalize hormonal function -Strengthen the reproductive system -Reduce stress and stabilize the mind -Correct digestion and eliminate toxins
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) RAJAHPRAVARTINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water = uterine stimulate that induces menstruation by clearing vata-pitta blockages
2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals for 2 months = tones uterus, balances hormones, regulates cycle
3) KUMARYASAVA= 15 ml twice daily after meals with water for 2 months = supports liver function, balances hormones, strengthens uterus
4) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily in morning and night for 3 months =restores hormonal balance, nourishes reproductive tissues

3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries
4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week)
5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance
6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger
FOODS TO AVOID -cold and raw foods like smoothies, raws salads - sugar and white bread=causes weight gain and acne -fried or packaged foods= increases toxins -milk,panner,cheese= can make cysts worse -stress and late night= disrupts hormones
LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR DEEP HEALING
1) DAILY RHYTHM -wake up before 7 am= sets hormonal rhythm -hydration=warm water with lemon+pinch of turmeric or methi seeds water(soaked overnight) -meal timing= eat meals at regular intervals; no skipping -sleep= sleep by 10-10:30 pm to optimise melatonin and cortisol balance -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep

HOME REMEDIES

3) RAW PAPAYA -eat 1 bowl of raw papaya daily =stimulates estrogen and helps regulate menstrual cycle

INVESTIGATION RECOMMENDED (if delay continues) If periods don’t come within 4-6 weeks even with this get -Urine pregnancy test / Beta-hCG= to confirm pregnancy -Thyroid profile -serum prolactin -pelvic ultrasound -FSH,LH, Estrogen, Progesterone
-Don’t panic- stress is often both a cause and result of delayed periods. Ayurveda approaches this holistically -If your periods are just delayed occasionally , this could be due to lifestyle strain, diet or stress -But if this happens often, it must be addressed medically and naturally with right care -Ayurveda works best with proper medications, proper diet, lifestyle and consistency

A delay in your menstrual period for over two weeks can be unsettling, especially when accompanied by stress. Given that you’ve already ruled out pregnancy with multiple tests, it’s time to explore other factors that could be affecting your cycle. Stress is a common culprit that can influence hormonal balance, leading to delayed menstruation. According to Ayurvedic principles, stress can disturb Vata dosha, which in turn affects the functioning of reproductive organs.
First, I recommend implementing practices to calm Vata and reduce stress. Simple daily routines such as Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil can be soothing. Perform this in the morning before a warm shower. Incorporating deep, slow breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) for a few minutes daily can also help balance mental energy and calm the nervous system.
Your diet plays a crucial role too. Opt for warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Consider foods like cooked carrots, beets, and leafy greens to support Agni (digestive fire) and maintain hormonal balance. Drinking herbal teas such as ginger or cinnamon can stimulate the reproductive organs and potentially encourage menstruation.
Be mindful of your sleeping pattern; aim for 7-9 hours of rest each night to support overall health. If you’re fasting frequently, it might be affecting your hormone levels; try to maintain regular eating habits focusing on nutritious and balanced meals.
If you’re still concerned or symptoms persist, consider seeing a healthcare provider to rule out conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid imbalances. Don’t overlook professional advice, particularly if symptoms don’t improve quickly. Stay attentive to any unusual symptoms or discomfort.
When your menstrual cycle is delayed by more than two weeks, it’s essential to consider various potential factors. In the context of Ayurveda, stress, dietary changes, or imbalances in the doshas—particularly vata dosha—can potentially disrupt the menstrual cycle. Stress is a significant factor and can indeed have a strong influence on the menstrual cycle by disrupting vata and creating irregularities.
Start by addressing the stress as it may be impacting your cycle. Incorporate daily practices like meditation or gentle yoga to help balance the vata dosha and calm the mind. Focus on deep breathing exercises to promote relaxation which might enhance hormonal balance.
Next, evaluate your recent dietary choices and lifestyle. If fasting has been a regular practice or if your diet has undergone significant changes, it may have impacted your nutritional status and subsequently your menstrual cycle. Eating regular, nourishing meals that suit your dosha constitution can be beneficial. Warm and grounding foods, such as cooked vegetables and whole grains, are ideal for vata balance. Include spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric in your diet to aid digestion and enhance metabolic fire (agni).
Herbs commonly used in Siddha and Ayurveda like Ashoka, Shatavari, or Kumari (aloe vera) can support female reproductive health. However, it’s essential to consult a qualified practitioner before starting any new herbal remedy, especially if you have ongoing health concerns.
Since you’ve already taken multiple pregnancy tests and they came out negative, monitoring your health and noting other symptoms is important. If you experience additional worrisome signs like unusual pain or significant changes to your well-being, it’s critical to seek medical attention immediately to rule out other potential causes.
