Prolonged bleeding happens when pitta becomes excessive and rakta dhatu becomes weak which causes continuous blood loss low energy dizziness and gradual hormonal imbalance the body is losing more than it can rebuild so the aim of ayurveda is to calm pitta stop excess flow strengthen blood and nourish the uterus gently so the cycle can come back to a healthy rhythm

She can take ashoka aristha 2 tsp twice daily after food with warm water Lodhra churna 1/ th tsp twice daily after food Drakshasava 2 tsp with equal water after meals and Punarnava mandoor 1 tablet twice daily after food

Avoid spicy sour fried food late nights and excess exertion Give warm freshly cooked meals with dates jaggery and ghee in small quantity and with regular use bleeding usually reduces and strength slowly improves over the next two to three cycles

Hello Thank you for reaching out about your daughter. I can imagine how tough it must be for her—and for you—to deal with long, heavy periods and all that fatigue. It’s exhausting, both in body and mind. The good news? Ayurveda takes these issues seriously and goes right to the root. When done right, it can help restore her cycle and energy in a safe, steady way.

YOUR CONCERN

–Main issue: Periods that last way too long, sometimes almost nonstop Other symptoms: –She’s tired, drained, and probably gets dizzy now and then –She just doesn’t feel like herself—her energy’s low, and it’s tough to keep up with daily life

AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

In Ayurveda, this kind of drawn-out or heavy period is called Raktapradara or Asrigdara. What’s going on? Usually, it’s an aggravated Pitta dosha (too much heat in the blood), sometimes mixed with a Vata imbalance (which means the flow is off and hard to control). The uterus and blood tissue can get weak, too.

You sometimes see this along with hormonal imbalances, stress, or low iron. When energy is down, Ayurveda calls it Rasa and Rakta dhatu kshaya—basically, her system’s running low on nourishing blood and fluids.

TREATMENT GOALS –Stop the bleeding safely –Cool down that aggravated Pitta –Build up and nourish her blood –Bring her strength and cycle back to normal

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN

INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Ashokarishta 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water It’s the go-to tonic for the uterus. Regulates periods and controls heavy, lingering bleeding. How it helps: Strengthens the uterus, normalizes the flow.

2. Lodhra Churna 1 tsp with warm water at bed Stops excessive bleeding and calms inflammation in the uterus. How it helps: Helps end those never-ending periods.

3. Praval Pishti 250mg twice daily after food These are great for cooling Pitta—soothing heat in the blood. Reduces bleeding, burning, weakness, and even some irritability.

4. Dadimadi ghrita 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water Nourishes the blood and fluids, improves digestion and energy. Helps her regain strength lost from the bleeding.

5. Punarnava Mandura 1-9-1 after food Boosts hemoglobin naturally, supports liver and blood formation. Fights that deep fatigue and low energy.

DIET PLAN

INCLUDE Cooling, nourishing foods—rice, wheat, moong dal, pomegranate, apple, milk (if it suits her), ghee, coconut water Rest is just as important—especially during her period

AVOID Stay away from spicy, fried, and sour foods Cut out excess tea and coffee, junk food, and avoid too much heat

LIFESTYLE Let her rest during her period—no heavy workouts or physical strain Keep her routine calm; stress just makes bleeding worse Good sleep is a must for healthy hormones

If the bleeding is very heavy (clots, soaking pads every hour), if she faints or feels extremely weak, or if it just won’t stop, get her checked by a gynecologist right away. You need to rule out fibroids, PCOS, or hormonal disorders alongside any Ayurvedic care.

Ayurveda isn’t just about stopping the bleeding for now—it works to fix the deeper imbalances, build up her strength, and get her cycles back on track. With the right help, your daughter can feel herself again—naturally and safely.

Wishing your daughter strength and good health

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO,

PROLONGED MENSTRUAL BLEEDING WITH LOW ENERGY

Your daughter is experiencing prolonged or continuous menstrual bleeding along with low energy and weakness

In Ayurveda menstruation is a natural monthly cleansing process Blood should flow - In the right amount -For the right duration - At regular intervals

When bleeding continues for too long or becomes excessive Ayurveda calls this condition

Asrigdara/ Raktapradara

Why This Is Happening (

• Excess Body Heat (Pitta Increase) - The blood becomes too hot and thin - Hot blood flows excessively like overheated water - Leads to prolonged bleeding

• Weak blood tissue - Continuous bleeding weakens blood -Causes: Tiredness, Low stamina, Pale skin, Dizziness

• Immaturity of Hormonal System (Common in Young Girls) - Ayurveda says tissues are still developing - Uterus and hormonal rhythm are not fully stable -Bleeding becomes irregular or prolonged

4) Stress, Diet & Lifestyle Factors - Junk food, spicy food - Late nights - Emotional stress - Screen overuse

All these increase Pitta and disturb Vata,worsening bleeding

Treatment Goals 1. Reduce excessive bleeding safely 2. Cool the blood and uterus 3. Strengthen blood (increase hemoglobin naturally) 4. Restore energy and vitality 5. Regulate the menstrual cycle naturally 6. Prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

A) Medicines to Control Bleeding (Rakta-Stambhana)

1. Lodhrasava= 20ml+ equal water twice daily after meal = Strengthens uterine lining, Reduces excessive bleeding, Stabilizes menstrual flow

5. Ashokarishta= 20 ml + equal water twice daily after meals =Tones uterus, Corrects hormonal rhythm, Especially useful in adolescent bleeding disorders

1. Nagkesar churna= 1 tsp with warm water in morning after breakfast = Stops excessive bleeding, Improves blood quality, Reduces clotting issues

Duration=2–3 menstrual cycles minimum

B) Medicines to Cool Blood & Reduce Heat

3. Praval Pishti = 75 mg with honey twice daily after meals = Cools blood, Reduces burning, heat, irritability, Prevents further bleeding

c) Medicines to Build Blood & Energy Once bleeding reduces:

1. Drakshasava= 15m twice daily after meals = Improves hemoglobin, Gentle, cooling

2. Amalaki rasayana= 1 tsp daily in morning =Natural iron support, Improves absorption, Strengthens immunity

3. Shatavari kalpa= 1 tsp with milk at night = Nourishes female system, Supports hormonal balance, Restores strength

Duration:= 2–4 months

. EXTERNAL THERAPY

1. Oil massage -Only when bleeding has stopped - Using cooling oils (coconut based) -Reduces Vata imbalance -Improves energy

DIET - Rice, wheat - Moong dal - Milk (boiled & cooled) - Ghee (small amount) - Pomegranate - Dates soaked overnight - Coconut water - Ash gourd, bottle gourd - Beetroot (cooked)

Avoid Strictly -Spicy food - Fried food - Junk food - Bakery items - Pickles - Vinegar - Excess salt - Tea, coffee, cold drinks

Diet alone can reduce bleeding by 30–40%when followed properly

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Adequate sleep - No late nights - Avoid heavy exercise during periods - Gentle daily routine - Emotional reassurance - Avoid overheating (sun, hot baths)

Helpful Asanas (When Bleeding Is NOT Active) - Baddha Konasana - Vajrasana - Supta Baddha Konasana

Pranayama -Anulom Vilom=balances hormones Sheetali / Sheetkari= cools Pitta

Avoid - Kapalbhati -Bhastrika - Intense yoga during bleeding

HOME REMEDIES -Pomegranate juice (fresh) - Coriander seed water (cooling) - Amla juice diluted - Soaked raisins

Very important to rule out complications

- Hemoglobin -CBC - Thyroid profile (if irregular cycles) -Ultrasound -Ferritin (iron stores)

EXPECTED TIMELINE OF IMPROVEMENT - Bleeding control=within 2–4 weeks - Energy improvement=4–6 weeks - Cycle regulation=2–3 cycles - Complete stabilization=3–6 months

FOR PARENTS This condition is common and manageable Ayurveda treats the root causenot just symptoms

With -Correct medicines - Proper diet -Gentle routine -Emotional support

Most girls recover fully without long term problems.

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
