Menstruation and Fertility
Overview:
Menstruation and fertility are not isolated events—they are continuous reflections of your body’s inner state. In Ayurveda, the menstrual cycle offers a direct view into the health of your digestion, hormones, emotional state, and tissue quality. This module helps you understand menstruation as a monthly diagnostic tool and teaches you what to pay attention to: timing, flow, color, pain, and emotional shifts.
From this foundation, we explore fertility not just as the ability to conceive, but as the result of harmony in the body and mind. You’ll learn the key Ayurvedic components of fertility—ṛtu (timing), kṣetra (uterine environment), ambu (nourishment), and bīja (the seed)—and how to begin supporting each through lifestyle, food, and mental clarity. Whether you’re trying to conceive now, preparing for the future, or just reconnecting with your body, this module gives you tools to better understand and nurture your reproductive health.
