In Ayurveda, menstrual irregularities are linked to imbalances in the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Doshas, which regulate bodily functions, including the reproductive system. An aggravated Vata may cause delayed periods, while Pitta imbalance leads to excessive bleeding and Kapha imbalance results in stagnation or scanty flow. Ayurvedic treatments aim to detoxify the system, balance doshas, and support optimal reproductive health.
