Embracing Your Cycle :: Ayurvedic Menstrual Health Support
Author :: Jess Marie 🌻 CVC, CAHC, INHC, E-RYT
As an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, I've witnessed great success in addressing menstrual challenges. Through my practice, I've helped numerous individuals (including myself) find balance & relief using holistic approaches that honor their unique bodies & experiences. I’m confident I can support you with your menstrual wellness.
Understanding Your Unique Constitution
The foundation of Ayurvedic menstrual support begins with understanding your individual constitution. Each person has a unique combination of the doshas (Vata | Pitta Kapha), and these energies very much influence menstrual patterns & symptoms. Through careful analysis & assessment, I identify your unique, natural constitution and any current imbalances affecting your cycle.
This personalized approach allows me to develop targeted recommendations that work in harmony with your body's natural rhythms. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I consider your specific symptoms, lifestyle factors, and overall health patterns to create an effective support plan.
Dietary Wisdom for Menstrual Health
Food serves as medicine in Ayurveda, and I guide you in making dietary choices that support hormonal balance throughout your cycle. For instance, during menstruation, I may recommend warming, grounding foods for someone with prominent Vata symptoms such as cramping & anxiety. Alternatively, for those experiencing intense Pitta symptoms such as heavy flow or irritability, I may suggest cooling, anti-inflammatory foods.
I help you understand which foods to emphasize or minimize during different phases of your cycle. This may include incorporating specific spices known to support reproductive health, such as fennel & saffron, or adjusting your diet seasonally to maintain optimal balance.
Herbal Support & Natural Remedies
Ayurvedic herbs offer powerful support for menstrual health, and I carefully select combinations based on your specific needs. Traditional herbs like shatavari for hormonal balance, ashwagandha for stress reduction, and rose for emotional support can be incorporated into your daily routine through teas & supplements.
I also provide guidance on using other natural remedies such as warm oil massage (abhyanga), essential oils, and specific Yoga asana poses to address menstrual discomfort. These practices not only provide physical relief but also create a nurturing Self-care routine that supports overall well-Being.
Lifestyle Modifications for Cycle Harmony
Your daily routine (dinacharya) plays a crucial role in menstrual health. I help you establish lifestyle practices that honor your body's changing needs throughout your cycle. This includes guidance on ::
Sleep patterns that support hormonal balance & restoration
Exercise recommendations that align with your energy levels and cycle phases
Stress management techniques to reduce cycle disruption
Self-care practices that enhance reproductive health
Environmental modifications to reduce exposure to endocrine disruptors
Stress Management & Emotional Well-being
The mind | body | spirit connection is particularly relevant to menstrual health, and I offer tools to address both physical & emotional aspects of your cycle. Through breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), and mindfulness practices, I help you develop resilience to stress and greater awareness of your body's signals.
I also provide support in understanding the emotional patterns that may emerge during different phases of your cycle, helping you work with these energies rather than against them.
Empowerment Through Education, Long-term Support, & Adaptation
One of my primary goals is to empower you with knowledge about your menstrual cycle from an Ayurvedic perspective. I teach you to recognize signs of balance & imbalance, understand the impact of different lifestyle choices on your cycle, and develop the confidence to make informed decisions about your menstrual health.
Menstrual health is a journey, not a destination. I provide ongoing support as your body responds to the implemented changes, making adjustments as needed. Regular check-ins allow us to fine-tune recommendations and address any new challenges that arise.
“Working with Jess has completely transformed my relationship with my menstrual cycle. Before finding her, I struggled for years with debilitating cramps, irregular cycles, and intense mood swings that disrupted every aspect of my life. I tried everything conventional, but nothing provided lasting relief. What makes Jess’ approach unique is her deep understanding of how each person’s body is different. She spent so much time really understanding my constitution (my dosha type, as I learned), my specific symptoms, and my lifestyle. She taught me how different foods affect my hormones throughout my cycle – I never knew that simply adjusting what I eat during different phases could make such a difference! The herbal protocols she recommended have been game-changing for both my physical symptoms and emotional well-being.”
My role is to guide you toward greater understanding & harmony with your menstrual cycle, providing tools & knowledge that support not just your menstrual health, but your overall vitality & well-Being.
