Ingredients
A woman’s menstrual period is designed by nature to function like clockwork and on time every time. However, this is not always the case. At some point in time, women suffer from irregularities in their period. This gets compounded when the irregular pattern causes heavier bleeding than normal. Kumaryasavam is an Ayurvedic treatment for irregular periods. It is also an Ayurvedic medicine to stop heavy bleeding during periods.
Western Medicine’s View Of The Menstrual Cycle
Ayurvedic View Of The Menstrual Cycle
All the functions of the human body are governed by the three Doshas. Good health and normal functioning of the body is achieved by the balance of all the three Doshas. Ayurveda also considers digestion and proper and efficient metabolism to be of prime importance to good health. If the metabolic process in a person is inefficient, there will be the formation of the metabolic waste called Ama. This is also the root cause of many bodily disorders.
The menstrual cycle is also managed by the three doshas. Of the three Doshas, the Vata Dosha is the one that is important in movement. So, the process of carrying the menstrual blood out of the body is governed by the Vata Dosha in general and the Apana Vayu in particular. The start of the follicular phase after the bleeding stops is controlled by the Kapha Dosha. The hormone estrogen is a Kapha dominant hormone as per Ayurveda while progesterone is more of a Pitta Dominant hormone. This Pitta Dosha governs the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
Naturally, an imbalance of the three Doshas will disrupt the timing of the menstrual cycle. The system of Ayurvedic medicine classifies the problems with the female reproductive system based on the exact part of the system that is causing problems. When there is a problem with the vagina it is called Yoni Vyapat. Uterus problems are called Guhya Roga and embryology is called Atulya Gotra. Since the genital tract and the movement through it are Vata Dosha controlled, this is the Dosha that is prime importance in causing and balancing problems with menstruation.
Kumaryasavam is Haematinic, Nervine Tonic, Appetizer.

Western Medicine’s View Of The Menstrual Cycle
- Western medicine recognises that the menstrual cycle is controlled by different hormones that are secreted by the body.
- When a woman approaches the age of sexual maturity the hormones that are required such as estrogen start being secreted in larger quantities. This causes the girl to develop a more womanly body. It results in break development, body hair and wider hips.
- The timing of the menstrual cycle is controlled by the hypothalamus, pituitary glands and the ovaries. The Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are both produced by the pituitary gland. This gland is stimulated by the Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormones (LHRH) that are secreted by the hypothalamus. The LH and the FSH control the stimulation of the follicles in the ovary. It is the ovaries that produce both progesterone and estrogen. The balance of all these secretions is what manages the timing and normal functioning of the female reproductive system.
- There are three phases of the menstrual cycle that are the follicular or proliferative phase, the ovulatory phase, and the luteal or secretory phase.
- When the estrogen and progesterone levels in the body fall it triggers menstrual bleeding which is the start of the follicular phase of the cycle. This is when the endometrium or lining of the uterus is shed.
- At this time the FSH level in the body increases thus stimulating one of the follicles in the ovary to mature. One egg matures and starts producing estrogen. The estrogen level reaches its maximum and there is an increase in the FSH and LH levels. Then the egg is released and the progesterone level rises.
- When the luteal phase starts the follicle that the egg was released from becomes a corpus luteum and secretes progesterone. The increasing level of progesterone is matched by falling levels of FSH and LH. The lining of the uterus prepares for the fertilisation of the egg.
- When there is no fertilisation, the progesterone production stops and the estrogen level drops triggering the start of another cycle that is marked by menstrual bleeding.
- When this cycle is not regular, Western medicine regularises it by prescribing hormonal tablets that are used for hormonal therapy or birth control.
- If the irregular menstrual cycle is due to other underlying causes such as fibroids, polyps, cysts, PCOS or endometriosis that issue is also treated. It could also be due to eating disorders, malnutrition or excessive stress.
