"The female hormonal system and menstrual health are extensively discussed in classical texts,"
"The core principles of Ayurveda provide guidance on how to live in tune with your natural rhythms, helping you maintain balance and prevent illness."
"While there's solid research on how hormones affect various aspects of health and well-being, there are few rigorous studies specifically examining the effectiveness of these cycle phase aligning practices,"
Tracking menstrual cycles and adjusting diet and lifestyle according to cycle phases has roots in ancient yogic and Ayurvedic traditions. Classical texts such as the Charaka Samhita document women adapting diet and routines to monthly phases. Classical sources discuss the female hormonal system and menstrual health, and Ayurvedic principles offer guidance for living in tune with natural rhythms to maintain balance and prevent illness. Modern clinical research on cycle-phase–aligned lifestyle practices is limited and mixed, although hormone research is robust in many areas. Historical underrepresentation of women in trials contributed to knowledge gaps, motivating policy changes like the 1993 NIH Revitalization Act. Honoring energetic cycles can be a powerful practice for those with female hormones.
