Varicose Veins through an Ayurvedic Lens

In Ayurveda, varicose veins are often linked to a Vata-Kapha imbalance. Vata governs movement and circulation in the body, while Kapha represents structure and stability. 

When Vata is aggravated (due to factors like stress or irregular routines), and Kapha is imbalanced (due to stagnation or excess weight), it can lead to poor circulation and weakened vein walls.

  What is Infertility According to Ayurveda?

According to Ayurveda, infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a woman of reproductive age to contribute to conception. 

There is also the issue of a woman who is unable to carry pregnancy to full term. 

Infertility, according to allopathic medicine, is also defined as the failure to conceive after a year of regular intercourse without contraception.

Ayurveda is usually the last port of call in the treatment of infertility. But it should be the first! 

Ayurveda and Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other places in the body outside of the womb. 

Symptoms may include abdominal pain, heavy periods, and infertility. It occurs when tissue that should line the inside of your uterus, the endometrium, grows outside of it instead.  

That means at the end of your period, this tissue will break apart and bleed. However, the blood from this tissue has no place to go. The most common site for endometriosis is on your ovaries. 

Ayurveda continues to amaze us in the treatment of endometriosis. It brings hope and continues to answer the root causes of it, on a case-by-case basis.
