Ayurveda is the art of daily living in harmony with the laws of nature. It is an ancient natural wisdom of health and healing, a science of life. The aims and objectives of this science are to maintain the health of a healthy person and to heal the disease of an unhealthy person. Both prevention and healing are carried out by entirely natural means.
In a profound sense, Ayurveda is the mother of all healing systems
The highest goal of Ayurveda has never been immortality in the physical sense, but spiritual immortality in the form of enlightenment. As people embark on the journey of healing through Ayurveda, they realize that good health is related almost directly and proportionally to proper lifestyle and state of mind. The path to perfect health parallels the path to enlightenment!”. Ayurveda” literally means the “knowledge of the totality of life. The term Veda means -pure knowledge. It refers specifically to Nature’s intelligence – the cosmic blueprint or orderliness that underlines and governs the function and evolution of everything in the universe, including our human physiology.
Menstrual Cycle – The Doshic involvement
All three doshas have a strong influence on the menstrual cycle. During the follicular phase (end of menses until ovulation or the first half of the cycle Kapha is on the rise. The hormone Estrogen (Kapha-like in many ways), peaks during this stage of the cycle. During the next phase of the cycle – the luteal or secretory phase (ovulation till flow begins), progesterone, a more Pitta type hormone takes center stage. So during the second half of the cycle, Pitta dominates in the woman’s body. The time of the actual flow or menses is the time of Vata – specifically Apana Vayu, as it transports the menstrual blood out of the body.

I have different Ayurvedic practices to re-balance the woman’s menstrual cycle..
Panchakarma to Purify/ Rasayana therapy to build Ojas
“When the ojas is diminished, the person is fearful, weak, always worried, having disorders in sense organs, deranged lustre and mental ability, rough and emaciated”

Long life (good), memory, (great) intelligence, (perfect) health, youthfulness, (bright) complexion and color, (bold) voice and magnanimity, increase of strength of the body and the sense organs, perfection in speech and brilliance – all are obtained from Rasayana therapy.

PMS – Ayurvedic Interpretation
PMS from an Ayurvedic point of view, is viewed primarily as a Vata and Pitta imbalance (refer to second half of the menstrual cycle when PMS most likely occurs – is a Pitta Phase culminating with Vata phase of the menstrual cycle). The condition can also be brought on by low ojas, which can cause disruptive fluctuations in the hormonal cycle and biorhythms of the body, and hence can cause many of the symptoms associated with PMS.

According to Ayurveda, during the transition to menopause, a woman moves into the Vata phase, symbolic of the autumnal time of life.
Now more than ever, it is important for women to take a pause, turn the spotlight on them and examine their lives and the state of their health – and start on the path to bring back balance to their lives and connect to their true nature – so that they can live in optimal health.
Ayurveda, the ultimate medicine of empowerment, can equip the modern woman with time tested methods of healing support– diet, herbs, lifestyle, purification and rejuvenation therapies, asana, meditation and pranayama. Specifically, as it relates to a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle, Ayurveda offers guidelines and therapies not only to alleviate symptoms of menstrual disorders, but to bring regularity and balance to the monthly cycle, by addressing the root cause of the imbalances. All women have the power to heal within them – Ayurveda helps them to connect with their own inner wisdom and guidance and heal from within.
