According to Ayurveda, factors that lead to Raktapradhana or Asritara (excessive bleeding) include excessive intake of spicy, sour, salty, fermented, oily, fried, and heavy foods; alcohol consumption; excessive use of chilies, vinegar, pickles, and sour fruits; frequent intake of junk and ultra-processed foods; eating incompatible food combinations (viruddha ahara); overeating or eating at irregular times; exposure to excessive heat and sunlight; suppression of natural urges; disturbed sleep patterns; night-wakefulness; excessive anger, irritation, and emotional upheaval; and lack of cooling, nourishing routines.
When inflammation and Rakta-Pitta aggravation are the dominant causes, correcting diet and lifestyle, avoiding inflammatory food combinations, and using appropriate supportive measures like above herb 🌿 can give good results.
However heavy menstrual bleeding can also be seen in women who are under long-standing stress. Chronic stress leads to persistently elevated cortisol levels. Cortisol interferes with the normal hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis. It suppresses GnRH release, alters LH and FSH secretion, and can cause relative estrogen dominance with inadequate progesterone support.
When progesterone is low, the endometrium continues to proliferate and becomes unstable. This results in irregular shedding, heavier flow, and sometimes prolonged bleeding. Cortisol also affects vascular tone and coagulation, making the uterine lining more prone to excessive bleeding. In such cases, simply giving a hemostatic remedy may not act effectively; stress reduction and nervous system regulation become the primary line of management.
So more than just a remedy, it’s very important to know what triggered it at the first place for the remedy to give desired result.
