About This Program

Hormonal imbalance in women is a Vata-Pitta disturbance of the Artava Dhatu in Ayurveda, and HPO axis dysfunction in naturopathy. Shatavari, Lodhra, and Ashokarishta rebuild the Artava Dhatu; naturopathic functional hormonal testing identifies specific imbalances, and targeted nutrition, liver-detox support, and botanical medicine correct them. All sessions conducted by female practitioners.

Why Ayurveda + Naturopathy

Shatavari's phytoestrogenic action complements naturopathic oestrogen detoxification protocols (DIM, sulforaphane) — the herb rebuilds the tissue while the protocol ensures excess oestrogen is safely cleared.

Who should attend

  • Irregular cycles, severe PMS, PCOS, endometriosis
  • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
  • Hormonal acne, hair thinning, fatigue
  • Post-partum recovery
  • Fertility preparation (natural or pre-IVF)
  • Oestrogen dominance symptoms
