Irregular periods
Cycles that come late, early or skip months, often with stress, weight change, PCOS or thyroid issues.
Ayurvedic approach: Check thyroid and hormones, then regular meals, sleep, light exercise and herbs such as shatavari.
Women's Health
महिला स्वास्थ्य
Women's health changes with every stage of life: puberty, marriage, pregnancy, motherhood and menopause. Ayurveda pays close attention to diet, rest and hormonal balance. You can talk to us comfortably, and we will always say when a scan, blood test or gynaecologist visit is needed.
Concerns we guide you on
Every person is different. Tell us what you are facing and we will explain what may help.
PCOS / PCOD
Cysts, irregular periods, acne, extra hair growth and weight gain linked to insulin and hormones.
Ayurvedic approach: Weight loss, low sugar diet, exercise and traditional herbs, with medical monitoring.
White discharge (leucorrhoea)
Normal discharge is clear. If it is heavy, itchy or foul-smelling, an infection or weakness may be behind it.
Ayurvedic approach: Hygiene, a test to check for infection, iron-rich food and traditional herbs such as lodhra.
Painful periods
Cramps, back pain and heavy bleeding that disturb daily life.
Ayurvedic approach: Warm compress, ajwain and jeera water, light food and rest. Severe pain needs a scan.
Menopause
Hot flashes, poor sleep, mood swings and bone weakness around 45 to 55 years.
Ayurvedic approach: Cooling foods, calcium, weight-bearing exercise, sleep routine and herbs like shatavari.
Anaemia & weakness
Tiredness, dizziness, pale skin and hair fall from low haemoglobin.
Ayurvedic approach: Iron-rich food such as beetroot, dates, jaggery and leafy greens with vitamin C, after a blood test.
Fertility planning
Difficulty conceiving can involve both partners, with hormones, weight, stress and infections as factors.
Ayurvedic approach: Preconception tests for both, healthy weight, balanced food and stress care.
Postpartum recovery
Weakness, back pain and low milk supply after delivery.
Ayurvedic approach: Warm, nourishing food, rest, gentle oil massage and traditional lactation foods.

Women's Health: frequently asked questions
Is PCOS curable?
PCOS is managed rather than cured. Weight control, diet, exercise and medical care can restore cycles for many women. Herbs may support but should not replace tests.
Can I take herbs during pregnancy?
Many herbs are not safe in pregnancy. Never take any herbal medicine while pregnant or breastfeeding without your gynaecologist's approval.
What causes irregular periods?
Common reasons are PCOS, thyroid problems, stress, sudden weight change and anaemia. A blood test and ultrasound help find the cause.
Can I consult privately?
Yes. You can message us on WhatsApp or call, and share only what you are comfortable with.
