HELLO SWATI,

You recently had typhoid fever, which is serious infection that puts a heavy load on your body. During typhoid, you lose energy , appetite, and tissue strength After recovery, your body focuses first on rebuilding vital organs and strength- the reproductive system gets attetiononly after that

Because of this your menstrual cycle may get delayed or even stop temporarily

This condition is known as =Delayed or decrease in menstrual flow due to weakness and hormonal imbalance (artava kshaya or rajkshaya)

WHAT HAPPENS IN BODY

1) AFTER THYPHOID -the digestive fire becomes weak -food is not digested properly-> nutritents aren’t absorbed well -this leads to weak tissues and low Ojas (vitalenergy) -Hormone balance (regulated by the brain-ovary connection) gets disturbed

2) EFFECT ON MENSTRUAL CYCLE -Apana vata(the energy controlling menstruation and elimination) becomes irregular -Pitta (responsible for heat and transformation) also gets disturbed due to fever and antibiotics -Together, they cause delay , scanty flow or temporary absence of periods

So, the main cause is post illness hormonal and tissue weakness- not a serious disease, but the body’s way of saying “I’ m still healing”

TREATENT GOALS -restore digestive fire so food can be converted into pure blood and hormones -rebuild body tissues- especially plasma, blood and reproductive tissue -balance vata and pitta- so that hormonal rhythm returns naturally -stregthens apana vata- the downward moving energy that controls menstruation -relieve stress and mental fatigue = because emotions also affect the cycle

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1)ASHOKARISHTA= 2 tsp twice daily with equal water after meals for 2-3 months =regulates hormones, normalises uterine function

2) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 2 tsp twice daily after meals with warm water for 1-2 months =restores strength, relieves vata, helps after illness

3) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily for 2-3 months =rejuvenates female reproductive system ,balances pitta

4) PHAL GHRITA= 1 tsp in warm milk at night for 2 months =tonic for uterus and ovaries

5) LODHRA + ASHOKA + SHATAVARI POWDER = 1/2 tsp with honey twice daily for 40 days =balances hormones and improves flow

LIFESTYLE -maintain regular sleep avoid late nights -avoid cold foods, cold weather, exposure, and skipping meals -do gentle exercise only- avoid high intensity workout during weakness -practice stress management light music, meditation, reading, prayer

YOGA ASANAS -baddha konasana= increase pelvic circulation -bhujangasnaa= strengthens uterus and ovaries -setu bandhasana= regulates hormones, tones pelvic muscles -ustrasana= improves endocrine function -paschimottanasana= calms mind, relieves stress

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances both hemisphere and hormones -bhramari= relieve stress, improves pituitary regulation -nadi sodhana= purifies energy channels, calms vata

DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -whole grains=rice, wheat, oats -moong dal khichdi, soups, boiled vegetables -cow’s ghee- 1-2 tsp daily -milk,almonds,dates,pomegraate, jaggery -irom rich fooods= sesame seeds, beets, spinach -papaya= helps regulate delayed menstruation -ginger tea, fenugreek tea, or ajwain water daily

AVOID -cold drinks, ice creams -spicy,deep fried, or junk foods -fasting or skipping meals -excess coffee or tea -late night sleeping

HOME REMEIDES -PAPAYA= eat ripe papaya daily- stimulates uterine muscles -GINGER TEA = improves blood flow and menstrual onset add jaggery too -SESAME SEED= 1 tsp roasted with jaggery daily- balances hormones, improves iron -FENUGREEK WATER= soak 1 tsp seeds overnight, drink in morning- regulates cycle -CAROM SEEDS WATER= boil 1 tsp with jaggery= reduces cramps and helps onset -cinnamon milk= 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder in warm milk -improves uterine blood flow

Your condition is temporary- a natural response after illness Ayurveda sees the menstrual cycle as a reflection of total body balance Once digestion, strength, and Apana vata normalize, your periods will return naturally Be gentle with your body- it’s healing not malfuntioning

First heal the body- then the cycle will heal itself

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Hello Swati This happens due to hormonal imbalance , but don’t worry Start with Rajapravartini vati 1-0-1 after food with water Aloevera juice 10ml twice daily after food with water .

Periods can be affected by infections like typhoid and the medications taken for their treatment. The body undergoes stress during illness which can cause hormonal imbalances leading to delayed periods. Proper diagnosis is important, so if your period doesn’t return soon, it may be worth consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

In Ayurveda, irregular periods can be associated with dosha imbalances, primarily Vata dosha, which governs movement and flow in the body. Prolonged stress, irregular routines, and poor lifestyle choices can disturb Vata. To balance Vata, consider following a regular daily routine and maintaining a warm, nourishing diet. Warm, cooked foods like soups and stews are helpful, as are spices like cinnamon and cardamom. Drinking herbal tea like ginger or chamomile can also promote relaxation and balance.

Also consider incorporating a regular Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil, which can help soothe Vata and promote regularity. Gentle exercise like yoga or walking is beneficial, but avoid excessive exertion as it can aggravate Vata.

Moreover, avoid cold foods and drinks, as they can aggravate Vata. Instead, consume warm, cooked meals. Avoid raw or processed foods that may be heavy or hard to digest.

For home remedies, drinking a cup of warm ginger tea daily can help support menstrual regularity. Simply boil a few slices of fresh ginger in water for 5-10 minutes and consume it warm. Ensure you’re also getting enough rest, as the body needs time to heal and regain balance.

If there is persistent irregularity or if you experience any additional symptoms, like pain or heavy bleeding consult with a healthcare professional.
