The Elements of Ayurveda Podcast

Episode 263

Colette continues her discussion on the Ayurvedic view of the menstrual cycle from episode #256 where she talked about the menstrual cycle, the doshas involved at different stages of the cycle and the gunas or qualities that you may experience throughout your cycle. In that episode she also discussed how PMS or pre-menstrual syndrome is a sign of aggravation in the doshas and gunas along with how to use the principle of opposites to pacify any imbalances.

In this episode Colette covers other menstrual cycle disorders, including:

• Hypomenorrhea - regular but scanty or light menstrual flow.
• Oligomenorrhea - irregular menstrual cycle.
• Amenorrhea - an absence of the menstrual cycle.
• Menhorrhagia - heavy menstruation, including prolonged menstruation.
• Metrorrhagia - bleeding at irregular intervals outside of your expected cycle.
• Dysmenorrhea - experiencing pain/cramps during menstruation.

Episode 256

In this episode Colette discusses the role the doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha play in our menstrual cycle. What doshas are dominant at the different stages of the cycle, how dosha aggravations can manifest in our cycle and how to pacify these aggravations. She discusses the following:

• The Vata phase of the menstrual cycle.
• The Kapha phase of the menstrual cycle.
• The Pitta phase of the menstrual cycle.
• How aggravations of the doshas can affect the gunas/qualities and how they may manifest in the cycle.
• Pacifying the imbalances of the gunas with the Ayurvedic principle of "like increases like" and "opposites pacify."
