A Journey Toward Self?Balance: Ayurveda and Women’s Health
At the heart of ancient Ayurvedic medicine lies a deep understanding of a woman’s body, where every physical transformation from menstruation to pregnancy, and then to menopause is considered a sacred chapter in the story of a woman harmonizing with nature.
Ayurvedic Fundamentals for Women’s Health:
Dosha balance across different stages:
Ayurveda identifies that each life stage is characterized by the return or intensification of a particular dosha, which guides appropriate dietary and therapeutic choices to maintain internal balance.
Natural and effective herbal treatments:
·Shatavari: A natural diuretic for congestion, used to treat menstrual irregularities and helps reduce menopausal symptoms.
·Ashwagandha (implied): Helps relieve stress, improve sleep, and support hormonal balance.
·Other herbs such as Turmeric, Triphala, Brahmi, Ashoka, Guduchi, and Licorice offer a wide range of benefits from improving digestion to supporting emotional and hormonal well?being.
Daily routine and self?care rituals:
Includes a balanced daily routine involving bathing, oil massage, meditation, exercise, and mindful eating—supporting both physical and mental health.
Abhyanga massage:
A daily full-body warm herbal oil massage, which stimulates circulation, nourishes the skin, balances dosha, and provides a deep sense of relaxation and comfort.

Daily Tips to Boost Health and Wellness
·Balanced nutrition
Avoid excessive sugars, saturated fats, and processed foods.
Prioritize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
During pregnancy or menopause, nutrients like iron, calcium, and vitamin D become especially vital.
·Regular physical activity
Global recommendations suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week such as walking or swimming plus strength?training twice weekly.
Even simple exercises during work or walking while on the phone can make a difference.
·Sound sleep and mental well?being
Getting 7–8 hours of sleep daily is very important for improving physical and mental performance.
Say “no” to stress through practices like meditation, deep breathing, maintaining supportive social relationships, and relaxation.

True well?being for women begins from within. Ayurveda strives to achieve this balance with the warmth of nature, self?care, and a deep understanding of a woman’s nature through all stages of life.
