Ayurvedic Healing For Woman [MLBD]

Ayurvedic Healing For Woman

Throughout my childhood, I watched my mother fluctuate between a loving human being and an irrational person. This continued through much of her adult life until she had a hysterectomy in her 50s, at which point she stopped having drastic swings in her emotions and the chemistry of her body. She felt that a great burden had been removed. What was this burden and how was it created?

According to Ayurveda, any disruption, emotional or physical, in your monthly cycle indicates a metabolic imbalance; this is not a disease. This view is not recognized in the Western world by modern allopathic medicine or by society. In fact, the treatment that was given to my mother further imbalanced her and made her has broad emotional swings. The medication also created dependency. The social mores and conditionings molded her mind. These same influences reinforced the negative judgments of her children and husband. In short, what began as a sensitive nature and an imbalance in the chemical makeup of her body became a disease in the eyes of her doctors, her family, and society.
