EXPERT SUPPORT
Main Gynaecological Conditions Supported
Ayurvedic medicine offers an individualised understanding of reproductive life stages, hormonal rhythms, and chronic gynaecological imbalances.
Cycles & Hormonal Health
Irregular cycles, missed periods, premenstrual symptoms and other changes in menstrual rhythm should first be understood in context before an Ayurvedic strategy is adapted.
Painful Periods
Menstrual pain or dysmenorrhoea is assessed according to intensity, location, relationship with the menstrual cycle, bleeding pattern and associated digestive or pelvic symptoms.
Endometriosis
Ayurvedic support for endometriosis is integrated alongside gynaecological follow-up and may consider pelvic pain, menstrual symptoms, digestion, energy levels and the individual constitutional pattern.
PCOS
In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), assessment may focus on menstrual regularity, ovulation, metabolic health, nutrition and associated hormonal manifestations.
Fibroids & Polyps
Uterine fibroids and polyps require appropriate gynaecological evaluation. Ayurvedic care may be used as a complementary approach addressing the individual terrain, menstrual cycle and associated symptoms.
Menopause & Perimenopause
Hot flushes, disturbed sleep, fatigue, mood changes, dryness and metabolic changes may be approached individually during the transition through perimenopause and menopause.
AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
An Ayurvedic View of Women’s Gynaecological Health
In Ayurveda, each woman is assessed according to her individual terrain. The same biomedical diagnosis may correspond to different Ayurvedic patterns, so recommendations are not determined by the disease name alone.
An Ayurvedic assessment may include Prakriti (individual constitution), Vikriti (current imbalance), Vata, Pitta and Kapha (functional Ayurvedic principles), Agni (digestive and metabolic capacity) and Apana Vata (the downward-moving function of Vata associated with the pelvic region and menstrual functions). Menstrual history, digestion, bowel function, sleep, nutrition, stress and previous medical history are also considered.

Women’s Health FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which gynaecological conditions may be supported with Ayurveda?
Ayurveda may be used as a complementary approach for painful or irregular periods, PMS, amenorrhoea, endometriosis, PCOS, perimenopause and menopause, as well as other women’s health concerns after appropriate assessment.
How does Ayurveda understand menstrual disorders?
Ayurveda evaluates the menstrual cycle in relation to the individual constitution. Apana Vata, the Doshas, Agni, digestion, sleep and specific menstrual characteristics may all be considered when building an individual assessment.
Which Ayurvedic treatments may be used in gynaecological care?
Care may include Ayurvedic consultation, nutrition, lifestyle guidance, herbal medicine, Abhyanga, Marma therapy, Svedana, Pinda Sweda, Pizhichil and Basti. When appropriate, Panchakarma, hirudotherapy or other complementary approaches may also be considered.
The choice depends on the individual terrain, gynaecological condition, menstrual cycle, general health, current treatments and contraindications. There is no single Ayurvedic protocol for all women.
Is Panchakarma indicated for gynaecological conditions?
Not routinely. Panchakarma requires prior assessment of constitution, Agni, general strength, menstrual cycle, medical condition and ongoing treatments before any procedure is considered.
Can Ayurveda be combined with conventional gynaecological treatment?
Yes. Ayurveda may complement conventional care. Hormonal medication, contraception, fertility treatment or any other prescribed medication should not be stopped or changed without medical advice.
How long does Ayurvedic support usually last?
The duration depends on the condition, how long it has been present, the individual constitution and the therapeutic strategy. Care may involve consultations and lifestyle guidance alone or may include therapies and structured follow-up when appropriate.
Are Ayurvedic consultations reimbursed by supplementary health insurance in Switzerland?
Reimbursement depends on the supplementary insurance policy, recognised method, practitioner and individual contract. Patients should confirm the conditions of reimbursement directly with their insurer before treatment. See our prices & recognition page for details.
