Irregular periods - #3487

In Ayurveda, irregular periods, acne, and hormonal imbalances such as high prolactin and testosterone levels are often linked to aggravated Pitta and Vata doshas. Here is a concise management approach: 1. Dietary Recommendations Reduce Pitta-aggravating foods: Avoid spicy, fried, sour, and overly salty foods. Favor cooling and hydrating foods: Include coconut water, cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Balance Vata: Incorporate warm, lightly spiced foods with ghee or sesame oil. Avoid dairy: This can sometimes aggravate acne. 2. Lifestyle Changes Maintain a regular sleep schedule to balance hormones. Avoid stress through meditation or yoga (e.g., Nadi Shodhana pranayama). Engage in moderate physical activity like walking or stretching. 3. Herbal Remedies Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): Balances hormones and supports the menstrual cycle. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Helps reduce high prolactin levels and stress. Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): Detoxifies and reduces Pitta-related inflammation. Neem (Azadirachta indica): Purifies blood to manage acne. Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia): Supports skin health and balances Pitta. 4. External Applications for Acne Neem and turmeric paste: Antimicrobial properties to reduce acne. Sandalwood and rose water pack: Cooling and soothing for inflammation. 5. Specific Panchakarma Therapies Virechana: A gentle purgation therapy to remove excess Pitta. Shirodhara: Stress relief for hormonal balance. 6.
