Gynecology

In Ayurvedic terms, gynecological issues are often linked to imbalances in the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Here’s a brief overview of how Ayurveda might address common gynecological concerns

Menstrual Health

• Ayurveda believes that menstrual issues are related to an imbalance in the doshas. For instance, heavy or painful periods might be associated with an excess of Pitta (heat) or Vata (dryness). Remedies might include specific herbal formulations, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes to restore balance.

Menopause

• This phase of life is viewed through the lens of Vatadosha in Ayurveda, as it involves a transition that can increase Vata qualities like dryness and irregularity. Treatments might include nourishing foods, herbal supplements, and practices to calm Vata.

Fertility

• Ayurvedic medicine emphasizes a balanced diet and lifestyle to support fertility. It often incorporates herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari, which are believed to support reproductive health and balance hormones.

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

• PCOS is often linked to an imbalance in the body’s metabolic systems. Ayurvedic treatment may focus on reducing excess Pitta and Kapha, using diet, herbal remedies, and detoxification practices.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Care

• Ayurveda offers guidelines for prenatal care that include dietary recommendations, lifestyle practices, and specific herbs to support a healthy pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
