Attention: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is viewed through the lens of the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each of them can manifest different symptoms:
🌬️ Vata-type PMS
Symptoms include lower back and lower abdominal pain, anxiety, fear, bloating, mood swings, and insomnia.
🔥 Pitta-type PMS
Characterized by hot flashes, irritability, burning sensation during urination, and inner tension.
🌊 Kapha-type PMS
Common signs include drowsiness, fatigue, and fluid retention in the body.
🌿 Ayurvedic Recommendations for PMS
According to Dr. Vasant Lad, the following practices may help in all types of PMS:
• Nasya (application of ghee drops in the nostrils) — helps support hormonal balance and calms the nervous system
• Warm castor oil compress applied to the lower abdomen — helps relieve pain and reduce bloating
💪 Prevention and Self-Care
For better balance and reduced symptoms:
• Engage in moderate physical activity (such as walking or yoga) at least 5 days a week
• During menstruation — allow yourself rest, relaxation, and avoid physical exertion
