Ayurveda for Teen Aged Girls – Hormonal Balance
This part of this Women Health series focuses on the young developing Teen Aged girls whose hormonal changes are affecting both body and mind.
12-18 years of teenage girls is the most important time for hormonal well being and balance of mind which affects the physiology. The entire hormonal system from Pituitary- Thyroid- Reproductive hormones, play a vital role in the proper metabolism and function of all physiology. During this time, many macro elements such as iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium, calcium Vit D, Vit K, Vit E, Biotin etc are essential for proper development. Ayurveda knowledge encourages 6 tastes of food; which are sweet sour salt bitter pungent as astringent. Girl children up to the age of 18 yrs will benefit from 3 meals consisting of grains/lentils/seasonal vegetables/milk and milk products/ fruits and nuts specially flaxseed, sesame seeds, raisins and dates. For undernourished or Vata Prakriti teenage girls, a small amount of Meat soup and Bone broth will benefit proper growth.
We recommend Aloe Vera fermented formulation called kumarsavam and Ashoka fermented formulation called Ashokarishta during this time for proper balance for hormones.
Ayurveda emphasizes on developing mental calm through Yoga and meditation for the teens to reduce stress hormones called Cortisols during this time of development. Cortisol hormone disturbed the proper hormonal balance between pituitary and sex hormones. So breathing techniques, exercises, playing games and cultivating creative hobbies such as knitting, crocheting, painting crafts etc will support the overall development of the teenage girls.
