A female body is complex as after hitting puberty, it goes through multiple changes. One of the major transformations that occur is the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Not just this, many other changes also happen like breast growth, hormonal changes, sexual feeling, mood swings when a girl hits puberty. While for some women, the process is smooth, for others, it can be a roller-coaster ride. Let’s take a look at women’s reproductive health in terms of Ayurveda and seek solutions for common female problems.
Ayurveda focuses on energies and is based on the concept that a world is built with five elements. Instead of focusing a person’s health on hormones, Ayurveda considers it to be a result of physiological, mental and emotional aspects. Physiological health is called Pitta, mental health is known as Vata and emotional needs are termed as Kapha in Ayurveda. A balance of three keeps optimal health on point. It is often believed that to seek the best remedy one should have knowledge of their body. They should examine which dosha dominates them and then, change their food and lifestyle habits. For example, if someone is driven by Pitta, then hot and spicy food and outdoor strenuous activities aggravate the dosha.
