Ayurveda offers several approaches to help balance hormones and alleviate symptoms like mood swings during your menstrual cycle. To support hormonal balance, consider incorporating herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Brahmi, which are known for their adaptogenic and calming properties. These herbs can help regulate stress hormones and soothe emotional fluctuations. Diet-wise, focus on warm, nourishing foods like soups, stews, and whole grains, while reducing caffeine and spicy, oily foods, which can aggravate Vata and Pitta doshas. Incorporating calming practices such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing can help reduce stress and promote emotional balance. It’s also beneficial to maintain a regular sleep schedule and engage in light physical activity to support overall well-being during your cycle.

Dear Mona, To manage menstrual mood swings, Ayurveda recommends balancing the doshas through herbs, diet, lifestyle practices, and calming routines: 1. Herbs for Hormonal Balance: Shatavari, Ashwagandha, Guduchi, Aloe Vera Juice, and Vitex help stabilize hormones and alleviate PMS symptoms. 2. Diet: Favor warm, nourishing foods (soups, grains), include healthy fats, and avoid caffeine, sugar, and processed foods. Spices like ginger and cinnamon support digestion and mood stability. 3. Lifestyle: Regular self-oil massages (Abhyanga), grounding routines, and maintaining consistent sleep and meal times help balance emotions. 4. Breathing and Yoga: Practice Nadi Shodhana, Chandra Bhedana, and gentle yoga poses like Child’s Pose to calm the mind. 5. Herbal Teas: Try Ginger-Tulsi Tea, Fennel Tea, or Cumin-Coriander-Fennel Tea to support digestion and hormone regulation. 6. Emotional Health: Use aromatherapy, journaling, and mindfulness techniques to manage stress and mood swings effectively. These practices, when consistently incorporated, can help balance hormones and stabilize mood throughout the menstrual cycle.
