How we work: cause → signs → remedy
- Find the cause. What may be behind your symptoms: diet, weight, stress, sleep or routine.
- Read your signs. Your cycle, symptoms, and any scans or blood tests you bring.
- Plan the remedy. Treatment chosen for you, not a standard package.
What treatment may include
Treatment depends on your condition. Your doctor decides on it after discussing it with you. It may include:
- Herbal medicines to take at home
- Diet, routine and stress advice suited to your stage of life
- Gentle supportive therapies, only where your doctor finds them suitable
What to expect
- First visit: 45–60 minutes with the doctor. A note of your recent cycle dates helps. Bring any scans, blood tests and your list of medicines.
- Your plan: explained clearly, so you know what each step is for.
- Follow-up visits to check progress and adjust your plan.
Go to a hospital first if…
- Very heavy bleeding, soaking a pad every hour
- Severe lower stomach pain, especially if you could be pregnant
- Any bleeding after menopause
- Fever with pelvic pain
Ayurvedic care is not a substitute for emergency care. If you have any of these, please get medical help the same day.
