Low ferritin and heavy menstrual bleeding can indicate iron deficiency and hormonal imbalances. In Ayurveda, such issues are often linked to Pitta and Vata imbalances. Focus on consuming iron-rich foods like dates, raisins, leafy greens, pomegranate, and beetroot. Ayurvedic remedies like Ashoka (Ashoka tree bark) and Shatavari can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce excessive bleeding. Incorporate sesame seeds and jaggery to boost iron naturally. Avoid spicy, acidic, or very hot foods, which may aggravate Pitta. Ensure proper hydration and consult a healthcare provider for iron supplementation and further evaluation if needed.

Low ferritin levels, often indicating iron deficiency, combined with heavy menstrual bleeding, suggests an imbalance in the body that may involve both the pitta and rakta (blood) doshas in Ayurveda. Heavy bleeding can deplete blood and weaken the body’s ability to maintain healthy iron levels, leading to fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms of iron deficiency. In Ayurveda, treatment would focus on nourishing and toning the blood, while also addressing the underlying causes of heavy bleeding. You may benefit from herbs like Ashoka, Lodhra, and Shatavari, which help regulate the menstrual cycle and strengthen the reproductive system. Iron-rich foods such as spinach, sesame seeds, and dates, along with vitamin C-rich foods (to enhance iron absorption), should be included in your diet. Additionally, pitta-balancing practices like meditation and avoiding excess heat (spicy foods, alcohol) can help manage heavy bleeding. It’s important to also check with a healthcare provider to monitor your ferritin levels and ensure that you're addressing both the iron deficiency and menstrual irregularities appropriately.
