Abstract

Menstruation is a natural physiological process that can significantly impact the mental health of females. In Ayurveda, the menstrual cycle is viewed as a reflection of a woman's overall health, encompassing physical, emotional, and psychological dimensions. This article reviews the Ayurvedic perspective of effect on mental health during menstruation, exploring the interplay between doshas, emotional well-being, and menstrual symptoms. By understanding these connections, we can develop holistic approaches to support women's mental health during their menstrual cycles. The insights gained from this review can inform both Ayurvedic practitioners and modern healthcare providers by addressing the mental health challenges faced by women during menstruation.
