In my periods my blood flow is very low - #606

Get your iron & hemoglobin checked. At 31, experiencing low energy in the afternoons and lighter menstrual flow may indicate a Vata imbalance or depletion of Rasa Dhatu (the nourishing fluids and energy of the body) in Ayurveda, especially after childbirth. To rejuvenate energy and improve menstrual health, focus on a nourishing, warming diet and specific herbs. Begin your day with a glass of warm water infused with a pinch of turmeric and honey to gently stimulate digestion. Include **Ashwagandha** (2 grams daily) and **Shatavari** (2 grams daily), both well-known for restoring vitality and supporting reproductive health. These herbs help balance hormones, build strength, and are excellent tonics for women post-pregnancy. A warm glass of milk with a pinch of **saffron** and **cardamom** in the evening can support both energy levels and menstrual flow. **Regular oil massage (Abhyanga)** with warm sesame or almond oil on the body and lower abdomen also promotes circulation and helps restore Rasa Dhatu. Incorporating foods rich in iron and B vitamins, like dates, sesame seeds, spinach, and almonds, is beneficial for improving energy and blood health. Avoid overly cold or raw foods, which can aggravate Vata and weaken digestion. If symptoms persist, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner can help tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.
