Ayurvedic Perspective on Amenorrhoea
Understanding Amenorrhoea - Causes and Ayurvedic Treatment
Ayurvedic treatment for amenorrhoea focuses on identifying and correcting the root cause of missed menstrual cycles rather than merely inducing periods. Amenorrhoea is the medical term for the absence of menstrual periods in women of reproductive age. It can be primary, when menstruation does not begin by age 16, or secondary, when regular periods stop for three months or more. Though not a disease by itself, amenorrhoea signals an underlying hormonal or metabolic imbalance that needs attention.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Amenorrhoea
In Ayurveda, Amenorrhoea is called Nashta Ritu, caused by an imbalance of the Vata and Kapha doshas, and weak digestive fire (Agni). Factors like stress, poor nutrition, excessive exercise, thyroid dysfunction, or PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) can disrupt the natural menstrual cycle.
Ayurveda views menstruation as a reflection of overall health when the body’s balance is disturbed, the menstrual flow ceases.
Ayurvedic Treatment and Herbal Support
Ayurvedic treatment for amenorrhoea focuses on restoring hormonal harmony, improving digestion, detoxifying the body, and strengthening reproductive tissues.
Key herbal medicines include:
Ashoka (Saraca asoca) – supports uterine health and cycle regulation
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) – nourishes female hormones and improves ovulation
Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) – balances estrogen levels and supports menstrual flow
Panchakarma & Lifestyle Support
Therapies such as Panchakarma detoxification, especially Virechana and Basti (as advised by the physician), help clear metabolic toxins and balance hormones. A personalized plan including:
Menstrual-supportive diet
Gentle yoga & Pranayama
Stress management techniques
plays a crucial role in restoring natural menstruation.
