Hello I’m really sorry to hear about the bad pain you’re dealing with during your periods. What you described—really bad stomach pain for hours, feeling cold, weak, and unable to stand—that’s not normal period pain. It sucks, it’s scary, and it takes over your whole body. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊 YOUR CONCERN – Really bad lower belly pain during periods – Lasts about 5 hours, then gets better – Cold hands and body – Weak and can’t stand – Been happening for 3–5 years – Gets worse when stressed AYURVEDA VIEW This is called Kashtartava (painful periods). Main thing: – Too much Apana Vata → causes bad cramps – Cold + dryness in your uterus → stops blood from flowing well – Stress makes Vata worse → makes pain worse That’s why: – Pain comes on fast – Body feels cold – You feel weak and shaky AYURVEDA PLAN 1.Hingvashtak Churna One of the best things for period pain. ½ teaspoon with warm water Twice a day Start 5 days before your period until it ends. It: – Relaxes your uterus muscles – Lessens spasms – stops gas pain 2. Dashmoolarishta 20 ml twice a day after you eat It: –Calms Vata – Lessens uterus pain – Helps blood flow better 3. Rajpravartini Vati If your periods are not regular or hurt a lot. 1 tablet twice a day after you eat Start 10 days before your period and stop when it starts. 4. *Castor Oil Trick& At night, before your period: Mix 1 teaspoon of castor oil + warm milk Do this for 3 nights before your period It: – Softens uterus – Lessens cramps DIET AND LIFESTYLE AVOID –Cold water –Ice cream – Yogurt – Fried food INCLUDE –Warm water – Ginger tea – Sesame seeds – Jaggery – Ghee Put a hot water bottle on your lower belly when the pain starts. WHEN WILL IT GET BETTER? –Pain lessens from the first period –Cold feeling stops in 1–2 months – Feels good for good in 3 months The pain comes from Vata spasm, not being weak. Once Vata chills out, your periods will be comfy again No need to suffer every month. Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Ayurveda, this is often due to Vata aggravation, sometimes with Pitta involvement. Since it lasts only a short period but is very severe, careful management is needed. Ashokarishta – 20 ml, twice daily after meals (helps regulate menstrual flow and reduce uterine spasms). Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) Powder –1tsp teaspoon with warm milk, once daily, especially 5–7 days before periods. Dhanwantaram Tailam / Dashamoola Kwath – If Vata-type pain, take 1 teaspoon Dashamoola kwath warm, 1–2 times during pain hours. Eat warm, easily digestible food. Avoid cold, dry, or heavy meals during your period. Drink warm water or ginger tea during pain. Avoid cold water, ice, and raw salads during periods.
