Menstrual Cramps (Dysmenorrhea)

Painful periods don't have to be your monthly reality. Discover how Ayurveda can help you address the root cause of menstrual cramps and achieve a more comfortable cycle.

Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, is primarily considered a Vata disorder in Ayurveda. An imbalance in Apana Vata, the downward-moving energy, obstructs the natural flow of menstruation, leading to pain, cramping, and discomfort. Ayurveda aims to balance Vata and ensure a smooth, pain-free cycle.

Common Symptoms:

• Throbbing or cramping pain in the lower abdomen
• Pain that radiates to the lower back and thighs
• Nausea, headaches, or dizziness
• Fatigue and irritability
• Bloating and breast tenderness

• Vata-pacifying herbs like Ashwagandha and Dashamoola
• Anti-inflammatory herbs like Guggulu and Turmeric
• Uterine tonics like Ashoka and Lodhra
• Warm oil massage (Abhyanga) on the lower abdomen
• Herbal enemas (Basti) to regulate Apana Vata
• Dietary and lifestyle modifications to balance Vata

• Significant reduction in menstrual pain and cramping
• A more regular and comfortable menstrual cycle
• Balanced hormones and reduced PMS symptoms
• Improved energy levels and mood
• Long-term relief without a dependency on painkillers
