To address scanty periods, or oligomenorrhea, the aim in Ayurveda would be to identify and address the underlying causes, often related to imbalances in the body’s doshas, particularly Vata. Here’s what you might consider doing:
First, look at your diet. Incorporate more nourishing foods that balance Vata, such as warm, cooked meals, plenty of ghee, whole grains, cooked vegetables, and sweet, sour, and salty tastes. Avoid cold, raw, or dry foods, as well as excessive caffeine or spicy items, which can disturb Vata. You might try drinking gentle herbal teas like ginger or fennel tea, which can help balance digestion and support the menstrual cycle.
Next, consider your lifestyle. Regular routines can help stabilize Vata. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day—adequate, restful sleep is crucial. Incorporating a daily self-massage (abhyanga) with warmed sesame oil can be tremendously beneficial, as it calms Vata and nourishes tissues.
In terms of Ayurvedic treatment, herbs like Ashoka tree (Saraca indica), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) are known to support women’s reproductive health. These can be taken in powder or tablet form, depending on availability, but it would be best to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosages.
Also consider stress management techniques, as stress can exacerbate Vata imbalances. Yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) are particularly helpful. Practice gentle asanas that support the pelvic region and enhance circulation.
Lastly, keep an eye on your general health. If the condition persists or worsens, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying health issues that might need immediate medical intervention. A balanced lifestyle, nutritious diet, stress reduction, and targeted herbs can help support your body in regaining regular menstrual cycle.
No worries Start on Rajapravarthini vati 1-0-1 Strirasayana vati 1-0-1 Asoka aristha 20-0-20 ml with equal water
Tab M 2 Tone 1-0-1 Asoka aristha Patrangasava 10 ml each with equal water twice daily after food Get cbc thyroid profile n us scan to rule out underlying causes
Scanty periods can be influenced by various factors, often linked to imbalances in the doshas, particularly Vata dosha. It might be beneficial to look at your diet, lifestyle, and routines to identify areas for improvement. Here are a few suggestions based on Siddha-Ayurvedic principles:
Firstly, incorporate more warm, nourishing foods into your diet. Focus on whole grains like brown rice and quinoa, as well as cooked vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes. Regularly include foods that are naturally sweet, sour, and salty — this can help pacify Vata dosha.
Include herbs known for supporting menstrual health. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) is traditionally used in Ayurveda to support menstrual flow. You can take Ashoka in powdered form, around 1 teaspoon daily mixed with warm water, for a couple of months.
Therapeutic massage (Abhyanga) with warm sesame oil can be beneficial. Perform this self-massage weekly — it helps balance Vata and nourishes the dhatus (tissues), promoting overall circulation and health.
Managing stress is also crucial since heightened Vata can be aggravated by emotional instability. Practices like yoga and meditation can help balance the mind and body. Try incorporating them into your daily routine.
Stay hydrated with warm herbal teas, which can also contribute to the regulation of your menstrual cycle. Ginger tea, with its warming properties, can help boost blood circulation and is quite supportive in balancing Vata.
If you notice persistent issues or any new symptoms like extreme fatigue, pain, or significant changes in weight, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out underlying health concerns. Always ensure any new treatment complements and does not conflict with any existing medical advice or treatment from your healthcare provider.
