Support at every stage

Ayurveda has a dedicated tradition of care for women through the stages of life: the monthly cycle, pregnancy and the postnatal period, and the years around menopause. Each stage is associated with different needs, and herbs are chosen accordingly.

Herbs traditionally used

  • Shatavari: the classic nourishing, cooling rasayana for women.
  • Lodhra: an astringent bark used in women’s formulations.
  • Ashwagandha: for strength and a calm response to everyday stress.
  • Amla: a nourishing fruit rich in natural vitamin C.

Routine and self-care

Traditional guidance emphasises rest, warm and nourishing food, and gentle movement, particularly during menstruation and after childbirth. Oil massage (abhyanga) is a widely practised daily or weekly ritual.

Important

If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, nursing or on hormone therapy, speak to your doctor before taking any herbal supplement.

Can I take herbal supplements during pregnancy?

Only on the advice of your doctor or a registered practitioner.
