hello vidhi,

Thank you for sharing so honestly. From what you’ve described, your body is showing clear signs of stress-induced hormonal imbalance along with underweight and nutritional depletion. In Ayurveda, this pattern often points to Vata-Pitta imbalance where high Vata (due to emotional stress, irregular food, low body mass) and disturbed Pitta (due to mental strain and hormonal shifts) disrupt the normal function of Apana Vata, which governs menstruation and reproductive health. When Vata gets disturbed from chronic worry, emotional conflict, irregular eating, or weight loss, it suppresses the menstrual flow and weakens digestion. Over time, this leads to reduced dhatu (tissue) formation, especially Rasa (nutritional fluids) and Artava (menstrual tissues). That’s why periods are becoming irregular and short.

Let’s begin treatment :

1. Ama Pachana (First 5 days) This clears blocked channels and improves appetite. Hingvashtaka Churna – 1 tsp with warm water after meals twice daily Draksharishta – 15 ml with 15 ml warm water twice daily after meals Sip jeera-ajwain-saunf water (boil ½ tsp each in 1 litre water and sip warm throughout day)

2. Internal Medicines (From Day 6 onwards) Start only once digestion improves and appetite stabilizes. Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals Shatavari Kalpa – 1 tsp with warm milk morning and night Kalyanaka Ghrita – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm milk (balances hormones and supports mental health)

3. Food and Nutrition Advice Eat small, warm meals every 3–4 hours (don’t skip meals) Start your day with a soaked date, almonds (4), and raisins (5–7) Include ghee in rice, soups, rotis (boosts strength and fertility) Have khichdi, moong dal soup, ragi porridge, and boiled sweet potato Avoid cold, dry snacks, coffee, fried food, sour curd, and very spicy food

4. Lifestyle Guidance Follow a fixed sleep schedule (10 PM to 6 AM ideally) Gentle yoga: do 15–20 mins daily focusing on pelvic blood flow – butterfly pose, cat-cow, child’s pose Do Abhyanga (oil massage) twice a week with Dhanwantaram Tailam before bath Take sunlight for 15–20 mins in the morning – important for hormonal rhythm Journaling or spending quiet time helps reduce mental heaviness

5. Investigations Suggested CBC, ESR Thyroid Profile (especially TSH) Serum Vitamin D and B12 Pelvic Ultrasound Serum FSH, LH, Estrogen (if periods don’t improve)

You’re not alone in this. The body is just showing signs of depletion and stress, and it can be restored with nourishment, patience, and regular routine. You don’t need to chase fitness right now just focus on rebuilding strength slowly from the inside. Everything else will follow naturally.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO VIDHI,

You are 22 years old, underweight (39 kg), and experiencing irregular, delayed, and extremely short periods (about 1 day only). You’re also dealing with emotional stress, especially from family problems.

This means your body is under strain, both emotionally and physically- and it has entered a state where it doesn’t feel safe enough to have a regular menstrual cycle.

WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE YOUR BODY

SCIENTIFICALLY -your periods are regulated by a delicate hormonal balance involving the brain (hypothalamus, pituitary gland) and ovaries . This is called the HPO axis. If you’re -underweight -stressed emotionally -nutritionally deficient …your brain may signal the body to pause or limit menstruation because it doesn’t feel there’s enough energy to support reproduction. This is the body’s survival mechanism.

This is often call Hypothalamic Amenorrhea or Functional Hypothalamic dysfunction

AYURVEDICALLY This is a classic apana vata imbalance -Vata dosha= especially apana vata governs the downward flow in the body- including menstruation, urination and bowel movements -Low weight= dhatu kshaya(weak body tissues like blood , fat, and muscle) -High stress= Manas dosha imbalance (rajas+tamas), which disrupts hormonal rhythm.

The Rasa (plasma), and rakta (blood) dhatus are weak and undernourished and hence the cycle is either -delayed(vata) -very light/short(rakta deficiency) -irregular(agni+manas imbalance)

TREATMENT GOALS The aim of Ayurveda is not just to bring periods back, but too heal the whole system, so periods naturally become regular, healthy, and balanced. -paicfy vata dosha- bring back balance in Apana vata -build dhatus- especially rasa and rakta -improves agni- for better nutrition absorption -calm mind- reduce stress, anxiety -correct the HPO axis

INVESTIGATION TO BE DONE -CBC= check for anemia which affects periods -THYROID PANNEL =hypothyroidism can delay periods -SERUM PROLACTIN= high levels can stop ovulation -PELVIC ULTRASOUND= to check ovaries, uterus health PCOS, ovarian cyst -FSH, LH, ESTRADIOL= hormonal balance -VITAMIN D AND B12= low levels affect hormones and energy

Dear one, your body is not broken - it’s just tired and underfed, both physically and emotionally. It’s doing the best it can with the resources it has.

Ayurveda doesn’t treat periods- it treats the person. And with love, food, rest, herbs, and mental healing , your body will naturally bring back regular, healthy periods- along with energy, glow and strength
