Ayurveda for women’s health

Irregular or painful cycles, questions about PCOS, hormonal changes, hot flashes and mood swings in menopause: women's health is one of the areas Preeti Gupta helps with at Minute Wonder Ayurveda in San Ramon. If you are looking for a woman Ayurvedic doctor near you in the East Bay, Preeti Gupta sees clients at her clinic on Market Place in San Ramon.

What Ayurveda looks at

Ayurveda does not look at a cycle or a hormone in isolation. It looks at the body as a whole: digestion, sleep, stress, daily routine, diet and the balance of the doshas (vata, pitta and kapha). Preeti works with hormonal concerns in teens and women, and with menopause, including hot flashes and mood swings.

Her question is what in your routine, digestion and constitution (Prakriti) supports or strains your body right now, and what you can change gently over months, one or two imbalances at a time.

What you can start this week

• A sesame oil self-massage, described in Preeti's post Rejuvenate, Nourish, and Glow: warm the oil, use long strokes on the limbs and clockwise circles on the abdomen.

• Write down your daily routine and everything you eat and drink, with times, for a few days. It is the food diary and routine list Preeti asks new clients to bring, and it makes the first visit more useful.

When to call Preeti

If your cycles are irregular or painful, or hot flashes and light sleep have taken over your days, Preeti would like to hear about it.

Common questions about women's health

Can Ayurveda help with PCOS?

Can Ayurveda help with menopause symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings?

Menopausal issues, including hot flashes and mood swings, are among the concerns Preeti works with. She looks at diet, routine, sleep and stress, and may suggest calming therapies such as Abhyanga or Shirodhara. Tell Preeti if you take hormone therapy so she plans around it.
