Not had period since 2 and half months - #810
Priya
I've been experiencing irregular periods for the past two months; my last one was on August 11, and I had issues before that as well. I've noticed this change since switching from milk tea to lemon ginger tea in the morning—could that be a factor, or might there be another cause? Additionally, I feel drowsy throughout the day but more active at night, causing me to sleep late.

Irregular periods can be influenced by various factors, and your recent switch from milk tea to lemon ginger tea might contribute to this change, especially if it has affected your overall diet or hydration levels. In Ayurveda, irregular menstrual cycles can be associated with an imbalance in Vata dosha, often aggravated by lifestyle changes, stress, or dietary shifts. Ginger is known for its warming properties and can aid digestion, but consuming it in excess, especially in the morning on an empty stomach, might disrupt your Pitta dosha if you're sensitive to heat.
Additionally, the feeling of drowsiness during the day and increased alertness at night can be a sign of an imbalance in your circadian rhythms, potentially influenced by diet, lifestyle, or stress. It’s important to establish a routine that promotes better sleep hygiene. Aim to sleep and wake up at consistent times, reduce exposure to screens before bedtime, and create a calming evening routine to signal to your body that it's time to wind down.
To address the irregular periods and daytime drowsiness, focus on nourishing your body with a balanced diet that includes whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Incorporating Ashwagandha and Shatavari can help balance hormones and support reproductive health. Regular yoga practice, particularly poses that promote relaxation and circulation, such as Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Butterfly Pose), can also be beneficial.
Lastly, staying well-hydrated and considering the addition of herbal teas like Chamomile or Tulsi in the evening may promote relaxation and better sleep.

It’s quite possible that the switch from milk tea to lemon ginger tea, though healthy, could have shifted your body's balance slightly. Lemon ginger tea is warming and can influence your Vata dosha, possibly leading to imbalances affecting your cycle. Milk tea has a grounding quality, more suited for calming Vata. Now, irregular periods can be triggered by multiple factors in Ayurveda - think more about your lifestyle, stress levels, or changes in diet beyond just tea.
Your sense of drowsiness during the day and alertness at night is another clue - this might be disrupting your natural circadian rhythm. It’s relates to the imbalance of both Pitta and Vata - you might be leaning towards an excess of rajas energy, leading to disturbances in your body clock. Try to wind down at least an hour before bedtime; perhaps read a book or practice some mindfulness breathing. Going to sleep by 10 or 11 PM is ideal according to Ayurvedic rhythms, aligning with Kapha and Pitta time cycles.
Eating warm, cooked foods like kitchari or simple soups can help stabilize your digestion and agni, which is crucial for regular menstruation. Avoid raw foods and instead focus on incorporating warming spices like cumin, fennel, and ajwain. Gently massage your abdomen daily with sesame oil, which soothes both your body and supports hormonal balance.
If symptoms persist, consult an Ayurveda practitioner - you might require a more personalized rebalancing strategy. Remember, subtle shifts can often correct imbalances, but it may take a little time. Be patient with yourself. If you've ruled out diet, consider stress management techniques like gentle yoga asanas or meditation to alleviate other potential causes of irregular cycles.
