Ayurveda Treatment for Hormonal Imbalance
Did you know there are over 50 hormones that have been identified in humans?
Most of your important bodily functions, right from how your body processes food to growth and development, emotions, mood, sexual function and even sleep are managed by the hormones produced by your endocrine glands.
If your hormone levels are too high or too low, or if your body does not respond to hormones the way it is supposed to, it could result in endocrine disease or disorders. Your endocrine system thus plays a key role in whether or not you develop obesity, diabetes, thyroid disorders, sexual dysfunction, and a number of other hormone related issues. Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance views the body as a holistic system, with a focus on balancing the mind, body, and spirit.
What is Hormonal Imbalance?
When there are excess hormone levels or deficiencies in certain hormones, it will disturb the normal functions. This imbalance can manifest in diverse symptoms such as irregular periods, irritable bowel syndrome, mood swings, weight gain or loss, fatigue, hair loss, and fertility issues.
Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance is viewed through doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which govern various physiological and psychological functions in the body. An imbalance in these doshas can affect hormone production and their proper utilisation.
Principles of Ayurvedic Treatment
Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance mainly focuses on restoring balance to the doshas through a combination of diet, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and therapies. Our UWAY’s approach is personalised treatment—each individual is unique, and treatments are tailored to their specific constitution (prakriti) and imbalances (vikriti).
Diet and Nutrition:
A healthy diet can help keep hormones balanced. You can naturally support hormonal balance by eating a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and healthy protein.
Lifestyle Modifications:
Your hormones can be imbalanced by a lack of sleep, high stress, too much alcohol, and processed foods to name a few.
Lifestyle factors such as exercise, sleep, and stress management are important for balancing hormones. While taking Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance gentle exercises such as yoga, as well as practices such as meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) are included.
Herbal Remedies:
Specific herbs and spices such as ashwagandha, shatavari, turmeric, triphala, guduchi, and licorice root and ginger are known for their hormonal balancing properties used to support overall hormonal health and boost immunity and are often included in Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance. These formulations often include a combination of herbs known for their adaptogenic, rejuvenative, and hormone-regulating properties.
Ayurveda Treatment for Hormonal Imbalance
Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance such as Panchakarma—a detoxification and rejuvenation treatment—can also be beneficial in restoring hormonal balance. Panchakarma aims to remove toxins (ama) from the body and improve the functioning of organs and tissues, thereby supporting the endocrine system’s ability to regulate hormones effectively.
Benefits of Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance
Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance, not only aims to alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalance but also addresses the root cause of the imbalance. By promoting overall health and well-being, Ayurvedic treatments support the body’s innate ability to heal and maintain balance. Unlike conventional treatments that often focus on symptom management through medication, Ayurveda emphasise preventive measures and lifestyle adjustments that can have long-lasting effects on hormonal health.
Several studies have explored the efficacy of Ayurveda treatment for hormonal imbalance in managing hormonal disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), thyroid imbalances, and menopausal symptoms. Research suggests that Ayurvedic interventions, when integrated with conventional therapies or as standalone treatments, can improve hormone levels, menstrual regularity, and quality of life for individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances.
