Scanty menstruation or low menstrual flow can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying health conditions like PCOS. In Ayurveda, this is often linked to a Vata imbalance, which can disrupt the flow and regularity of the menstrual cycle. To address this, you can focus on balancing your Vata dosha through warm, nourishing foods like cooked vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. Avoid cold, raw, or dry foods that can aggravate Vata. Herbal remedies such as Ashoka, Shatavari, and Lodhra are traditionally used to regulate menstrual flow and balance hormones. Additionally, managing stress through practices like yoga, meditation, or regular exercise can help improve your menstrual health. You may also want to ensure you’re getting adequate nutrition, especially iron and vitamin B12, to support healthy blood flow. If the issue persists, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare provider is advisable for personalized treatment.

Scanty menstruation, or Hypomenorrhea, it can be pretty frustrating, no doubt. Ayurveda would approach this by looking at your doshas – specifically, any imbalance that could be affecting your reproductive system. Usually, a kapha imbalance might be at play here, leading to this kind of menstrual irregularity. So, what you can do?
Let's start with diet, really. Try increasing warming foods and spices in your meals like ginger, cinnamon or black pepper, they kinda boost your digestive fire (agni) and facilitates flow. Also, try to avoid cold, heavy, oily or processed foods, these might aggravate kapha and vata, not helpful right now.
For lifestyle changes, engaging in regular, mild exercise can stimulate circulation. Something like a brisk walk or light yoga might help. Exercise, it should feel energizing, not draining.
You might also benefit from regular routine or dinacharya. It gives structure and stability which can balance kapha and vata. Try waking up and sleeping at the same times daily, eat meals on a regular schedule.
Some Ayurvedic herbs may offer support as well. Consider trying Ashoka tree bark; it is traditionally used for menstrual issues. Shatavari, another powerful herb for female reproductive health, might also provide some relief. But just a heads-up, it's always best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before adding new herbs to make sure they're right for you.
A little uterine massage with warm sesame oil – gently, of course – could assist in reducing any congestion. And be sure to pay attention to your emotional and mental stressors too; they can influence your menstrual cycle significantly and not in a good way.
But please also understand, if this problem persists, or if you experience increased pain, severe discomfort it would be wise to consult with a healthcare provider. Sometimes it's a sign of something that needs more attention. Stay connected with what your body is telling you, it matters.
