Irregular Menstruation

   Balanced hormonal levels are critical for the well being of women. There are many factors like diet and lifestyle, to name a few, that affect the hormones. The liver helps to produce, through the sexual organs,  balanced amount of hormones. The liver also removes the used hormones from the body. This is detoxification. Our approach is to enhance detoxification thereby allowing the  fresh production of hormones by the liver. So, we focused on the liver in pancha bhoota therapy and this has helped a lot of women.

Water Therapy:

Do Water Therapy daily with the flavors mentioned in our web site. This will correct the hormonal levels by cleansing the liver.  Drink 1.5 liters of water first thing in the morning, using mild amounts of flavors like sarsaparilla, ginger root powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds,  etc.  for better results.

Earth Therapy:  Fiber-rich foods absorb detoxified hormone products that are excreted through the bile. If there is no fiber, the detoxified product is reabsorbed into the system.  We recommend using fiber rich whole grains like brown rice (remember to soak in water and cook), whole rye flakes (33% fiber compared to 20% fiber in oats), whole wheat flakes (28%), barley flakes (26%), millets like ragi  are very rich in fiber. In all ancient traditions, people ate different types of grains and millets.  Many of the readers might be unaware of their names.  These millets give different types of nourishment, detoxify the body and also help prevent many diseases like cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer etc. 

Powerful Food Remedies: 1. Cut a slice of Aloe Vera leaf. Peel off the green skin, and collect the white gel. Add one teaspoon good quality honey. Mix and eat this before breakfast. Doing this for three months completely restores regular menstruation.

Aloe Vera makes a women youthful by regulating her hormones. Kumari-aasavam (Kumaryasava) is a very good rasyana available in Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala. It helps regulate the monthly cycle and tones the female organs. Of course, this preparation contains, besides Aloe Vera, some 38 other ingredients.
