Can I have therapy during my period?

Most therapies are paused during bleeding. That is not squeamishness — the classical texts treat the menstrual days as a specific state with its own rules, and the schedule is built around your dates.

Do you treat period pain in teenagers?

Yes, with a parent present throughout and a plan weighted towards diet, routine and internal medicines rather than intensive therapy.

Is this useful if I am trying to conceive?

Cycle regulation is often where fertility support starts. It runs alongside your fertility specialist rather than replacing that care, and we will be clear about which is doing what.

Ayurvedic treatment for irregular and painful periods in Chennai

Cramps that stop the day, cycles that arrive when they like, or bleeding that has changed character.

What it looks like: Cramping severe enough to need a day off; Cycles shorter than 21 or longer than 35 days; Clots, or a flow that has changed noticeably; Spotting between cycles; Mood, skin and digestion tracking the cycle closely.

The menstrual cycle is governed by Apana Vata, the downward-moving current — so painful, scanty or irregular menstruation is read first as obstruction of that movement. Heavy bleeding with heat and irritability is a Pitta picture instead. They are opposite presentations and giving both the same treatment is why generic remedies disappoint.

Prishta Vasti and Matra Vasti restore the downward movement; Shareera Abhyangam through the month supports it. Yoni Prakshalanam is used where there is local infection or discharge. Therapy is timed against the cycle rather than run continuously — the classical texts are specific about which days are appropriate, and it makes a difference.

Typical course: Planned across two to three cycles.

When to see a doctor first, not us: Bleeding that soaks a pad an hour, bleeding after intercourse or after menopause, or severe pain with fever — see a gynaecologist without delay.
