Hello I get how freaked out you might be when your period’s late, especially now. Your body’s still figuring things out between 13 and 17, and stuff like stress from school, feelings, and even growing can mess with your cycle. Try not to worry – it’s usually just a phase for teens and gets back to normal. YOUR CONCERN –Age: 13–17 –Issue: Period’s all over the place –How long: Not even 3 months –Life stuff: Stress/worries –Also: Mood’s up and down This happens a lot when you’re a teen because your ovaries and brain are still trying to get their act together with hormones. WHAT AYURVEDA SAYS In Ayurveda, this is called Artava Vyapada, and it’s mainly because of: –Vata’s off – periods are late, miss or are just not regular –Pitta’s off – you’re extra cranky and emotional –Digestion’s weak – hormones aren’t forming right –Stress, too much thinking, not enough sleep, bad food, and feeling pressured all mess with Apana Vata, which controls your period. AYURVEDIC PLAN Since you’re young, we don’t want to use anything too strong. We just want to help your body fix itself. To help your hormones and periods 1 Ashokarishta 10 ml + same amount of water, twice a day after eating If you’re stressed or moody 2. Brahmi Vati Once a day after breakfast This helps calm your mind and balance your hormones. To help with digestion and make hormones 3.Avipattikar Churna ¼ teaspoon at night with warm water DIET PLANAVOID –Junk food –Cold drinks –Bakery stuff, chips –Stay up late ✅INCLUDE –Home-cooked meals –Fruits –Green veggies –Warm milk –Dates, soaked almonds –Sleep before 10:30 pm –Easy exercise like walks or yoga every day –Don’t look at screens late at night What to expect –After 1–2 cycles: Your periods should start to get more regular –Less mood swings –Less stress –Hormones get balanced on their own This is just a teen thing with hormones, not a sickness. With a little help, your body will learn to sort itself out. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

- Treatment Plan 1. Daily Routine (Dinacharya) Maintain regular sleep (10 pm–6 am). Light to moderate exercise daily (walking, yoga, pranayama). Stress management: Pranayama (Anulom–Vilom, Bhramari), meditation. Avoid cold drinks, processed foods, and excessive sweets. 2. Diet (Ahara) Warm, cooked meals; easy-to-digest foods. Include seasonal fruits, vegetables, whole grains. Avoid ice-cold foods, fried and junk foods. Use herbs like ginger (Adrak), cumin (Jeera), fennel (Saunf) in food for digestion and hormonal balance. 3. Oral Medicines (Shamana) Rajah pravartni vati 1 tab twice a day after meal Ashokarishta, 15 ml after meals for 2–3 cycles. Dashamoola Churna, 1 gm with warm milk for 15–20 days of cycle. Shatavari syrup, 10 ml twice daily for 2–3 cycles. 4. External / Panchakarma (Optional) Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm Mahanarayan oil or Sesame oil – 15–20 minutes, followed by warm bath. Swedana (steam therapy) – gentle steam once or twice a week for relaxation and circulation. 5. Follow-Up Track periods for 2–3 months. Adjust medicines based on response. Monitor for warning signs: excessive bleeding, missed periods >3 months, severe pain. Tq

At 13–17 years, irregular cycles are very common during puberty (hormones still stabilizing). Recent stress/anxiety is the most likely trigger right now as it raises cortisol , disrupts LH/FSH balance ,delays or skips ovulation , irregular periods + mood swings. No need to panic ,most girls this age become regular within 1–2 years naturally. ✓Lifestyle (most powerful at your age) Sleep 10 PM – 6 AM strictly (every day) — hormones regulate best during deep sleep Reduce stress: 10 min Anulom-Vilom or deep breathing daily Light walk/yoga 20–30 min daily (helps hormone balance & mood) No phone/TV 1 hour before sleep ✓Diet Eat daily: pomegranate (1), beetroot juice 100 ml, soaked almonds (4–6), banana, moong dal khichdi + ghee Avoid: excessive sugar, maida, cold drinks, junk, fried food, caffeine Drink 2–2.5 L warm water ✓Ayurvedic Support (very gentle & safe for teens) Shatavari Kalpa – 5 gm (1 tsp) night with warm milk Ashwagandha Lehyam – 5 gm night with warm milk ✓When to see gynaecologist If no period for >3 months Very heavy bleeding (>7 days or soaking pad hourly) Severe pain/fever Weight loss/gain extreme or other symptoms (hair loss, acne, voice change) Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

HELLO, THIS CAN BE PCOD - means that your ovaries are not working normally. Instead of releasing one healthy egg every month, your ovaries are producing many small immature eggs that stay inside and form small fluid- filled sacs or cysts Think of your body as a system of hormones that must stay in balance. IN PCOD -the body makes too many male hormones which women also have in small amounts - this stops ovulation, causing irregular or no periods -it also affect insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar. If insulin is not working properly(insulin resistance), it makes the body gain weight and worsens pcod. In Ayurveda, PCOD is caused by an imbalance in the kapha and vata doshas, leading to -ama(toxins) blocking the channels in your ovaries -slow metabolism(poor digestion- weak agni) - hormonal irregularities - stress(aggravates vata) adding to iiregularity INTERNALLY START WITH 1) M2 TONE SYRUP(by charak)= 2 tsp twice daily after meals = helps ovaries work better, bring back your periods regularly 2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU( baidyanth/ AVP)= 2 tabs twice dailyafter meals with warm water = melts small cysts in your ovaries, supports thyroid and weight loss 3) ASHOKARISHTA(baidyanth/dabur)= 2 tsp with equal water twice daily after meals = regulates periods, reduces heavy bleeding and pain, supports uterus 4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime = clears toxins from your body and improves digestion 5) EVECARE CAPSULES(by himalaya)= 1 cap twice daily after meals =balances hormones, improves ovarian function, regularises periods DIET PLAN FOODS TO INCLUDE 1) WHOLE GRAINS -millets= foxtail, barnyard, kodo, little millet- regulate insulin and reduce fat -quinoa, amaranth, red/brown rice -rolled oats(not instant) 2) VEGETABLES -focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent food -bitter gourd, drumstick, methi -cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, ash gourd -avoid raw salads, cook lightly and digestive spices 3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries 4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week) 5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance 6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger FOODS TO AVOID -cold and raw foods like smoothies, raws salads - sugar and white bread=causes weight gain and acne -fried or packaged foods= increases toxins -milk,panner,cheese= can make cysts worse -stress and late night= disrupts hormones LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR DEEP HEALING 1) DAILY RHYTHM -wake up before 7 am= sets hormonal rhythm -hydration=warm water with lemon+pinch of turmeric or methi seeds water(soaked overnight) -meal timing= eat meals at regular intervals; no skipping -sleep= sleep by 10-10:30 pm to optimise melatonin and cortisol balance -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep DETOX PRACTICES TO FOLLOW these helps removes toxins and reduce cyst formation -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water -CASTOR OIL=montly one 10 ml in milk at night -Self oil massage= sesame oil daily before shower -TAKRA- buttermilk spiced with cumin and ginger daily after lunch YOGA AND MOVEMENT BEST YOGA ASANAS -malasana= opens pelvic region -baddha konasana= improves circulation to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs -setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and pelvic hormones -suryanamskar= 5-7 rounds PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones, calms mind - bhramari= reduces anxiety and supports pitutary -kapalbhati= light version, support metabolism MIND BODY CONNECTION PCOD is deeply linked with stress and emotional stagnation -practicue gratitude journaling, emotional release -engage in art, music, or nature therapy -reduce overthinking and over working- both aggravate vata DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.
