Hello I get it—juggling work, motherhood, and your own health isn’t easy, especially when your periods go off track and the scale won’t budge. The truth is, you don’t need hours at the gym or strict diets. With the right Ayurvedic treatment, you can bring your periods and weight back into balance, even on a tight schedule.

YOUR CONCERN

Age: 42 Weight: 72 kg Height: 165 cm

What’s going on: - Irregular periods for over a year - Stubborn weight, hard to lose - Tired all the time

Day-to-day life:

- Working mom, never enough hours - Not much time for workouts - Eating low-carb - Some light activity, but nothing intense

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? (Ayurvedic Lens)

At 42, you’re probably in the peri-menopausal transition. Hormones are shifting, and Ayurveda connects this with: - Kapha + Vata out of balance - Slow metabolism (weak Agni) - Ama build-up (those stubborn toxins) - Apana Vata disturbed (which messes with periods) - Stress from multitasking and not enough rest

This all mixes together and shows up as:

- Irregular or late periods - Fat not budging, even when you eat right - Low energy

Here’s the thing: weight gain and period problems are tied together. Fix one, the other improves too.

AYURVEDIC PLAN THAT FITS YOUR LIFE

INTERNAL MEDICINE (3 Months)

1. Chandraprabha Vati: 1 tablet, twice daily after meals. This helps bring periods back on track, boosts your metabolism, and balances hormones.

2. Ashokarishta: 10 ml with the same amount of water, twice daily after meals. Strengthens your uterus, keeps cycles steady.

3. Triphala Churna: ½ teaspoon at bedtime with warm water. Keeps your digestion moving and helps with weight.

DIET CHANGES (YOU’RE ON THE RIGHT PATH)

Cutting carbs is smart, but don’t ditch them entirely—your hormones need a little. Try this: - Go for warm, homemade food - Add small servings of rice or millet at lunch - Moong dal and lots of veggies - Ghee (1–2 teaspoons a day) actually helps your hormones - Sip warm water through the day

And skip:

- Meal skipping (it messes up everything) - Cold/raw foods - Too much tea or coffee - Eating late at night

EXERCISE FOR BUSY MOMS (JUST 20–25 MINUTES)

Forget long workouts. Instead: - 20 minutes brisk walking every day - Surya Namaskar: 6–8 rounds if you can - Pranayama: Anulom Vilom (7 min), Bhramari (3 min)

Stick with it—consistency matters more than pushing hard once in a while.

LIFESTYLE FIXES

- Get to bed before 11 pm - Cut out screens late at night - Don’t hold it in when you need the restroom - Take short breaks at work to breathe and reset

WHEN YOU’LL SEE CHANGES

- More energy: 2–3 weeks - Periods become regular: 1–2 cycles - Lose 2–4 kg in 3 months (steady and healthy) - Less bloating and heaviness: 3–4 weeks

At 42, crash diets or hardcore workouts just mess up your hormones more. Ayurveda is about balance, not extremes. When you bring your hormones and metabolism into sync, results last much longer.

Don’t aim for perfection—just keep showing up for yourself every day. Those small efforts add up, and with the right Ayurvedic support, your periods and your weight can both get back in line, naturally.

HELLO,

In PCOD, the ovaries make small fluid-filled sacs (cysts). These cysts disturb the release of eggs and cause hormonal imbalance. This imbalance leads to -irregular periods - sometimes delayed, sometimes heavy -weight issues- some gain too much, some don’t gain at all

In Ayurveda, this is mainly due to kapha imbalance (blockages, cysts, sluggish metabolism), Vata disturbance (irregular cycles, pain, stress), and Pitta disturbance . Weak digestion (Agni) and accumulation of toxins (ama) make it worse.

TREATMENT GOALS -Clear the root cause= improve digestion and remove toxins -Balance hormones naturally= by correcting kapha-vata-pitta -Regulate menstrual cycles= make periods more regular and reduce excess flow -Nourish reproductive system -reduce stress and improve sleep -improve strength and weight loss

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =reduces cysts, balances kapha, clears blockages

2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =regulates heavy bleeding, strengthens uterus

3) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =balances vata, reduces pain and weakness

4) SHATAVARI CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily with warm milk for 3 months =balances hormones, nourishes uterus, supports fertility

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =improves digestion, clears toxins, mild detox

6) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =scrapes fat

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Sleep= try to fix sleep even in night shift- use blackout curtains, avoid mobile before bed, drink warm milk or chamomile tea -Stress= daily meditation/journaling/chanting-> reduces cortisol which disturbs hormones -Physical activity= walking + yoga more helpful than intense gym workouts in PCOD

YOGA ASANAS -baddha konasana = improves blood flow to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates reproductive organs -Setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and hormones -Surya Namaskar= slow 6-12 rounds daily

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata and pitta -Bhramari= calms stress, improves sleep -Kapalbhati= improves metabolism

DIET -Grains= barley, red rice, oats, whole wheat -Vegetables= bitter gourd, drum stick, bottle gourd, spinach, methi, broccoli -Fruits= papaya (helps periods), pomegranate , apple, guava -Nuts and seeds= soaked almonds, walnuts, pumpkin, seeds , flaxseeds -Proteins= moong dal, horse gram, lentils -Good fats= cow’s ghee, sesame oil in moderation

AVOID -excess sweets, bakery foods, fried and junk foods -cold drinks, ice creams -curd at night -packaged and processed food -excess tea/coffee

HOME REMEDIES 1) Fenugreek seeds= soak 1 tsp overnight, chew in morning-> improves insulin sensitivity and periods 2) Cinnamon tea= helps regulate cycles. 3) Aloe vera juice= 15ml empty stomach-> balances hormones, improves digestion 4) Flaxseed powder= 1 tsp daily in warm water-> balances oestrogen levels

PCOD is not a permenent disease- with proper diet, lifestyle, Ayurvedic medicines, yoga and stress control, cycles can become regular

The key is patience + consistency for at least 3-6 months -Avoid quick fixes (like crash diets or random hormonal pills without need) -With Ayurveda, the aim is not just to treat symtpoms but to restore balance from the root.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
