Balancing Herbs | Hormonal

Introduction

Ayurveda, a centuries-old science, outlines practices to lead a holistic, healthy life. Its advice primarily focuses on curing the root cause of any ailment. Ayurvedic texts talk about the universe consisting of five elements (Panch Mahabhutas)– i.e., Air (Vayu), Fire (Agni), Space (Akasha), Water (Jal), and Earth (Prithvi). Imbalance in either of these elements causes illness or diseases in your body. Hence, one of the best detox cleanse is bringing the five elements in sync.

Use of Tridosha Balancing herbs:

Imbalance in any five elements gives rise to Tridosha – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Every person has a unique ratio of the dosha in their body, which define their Ayurvedic constitution. Adopting healthy practices to balance the Tridosha is crucial for overall wellbeing.

Ayurveda also suggests that the doshas affect hormonal health. One popular reason for increasing Vata is Stress, which leads to hormonal imbalance. Similarly, sedentary lifestyles and processed foods cause an accumulation of Kapha, leading to problems in digestion, thyroid function, uterine fibroids, etc.

Regular use of Tridosha balancing herbs like Ginger, Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Coriander, Amla, Haritaki, Vibhitaki, Tulsi, etc., can help stabilize Tridosha. Incorporating herbs is also recommended during hormonal imbalance treatment in Ayurveda.
