Dil Se Indian: This Desi Fenugreek And Sesame Seeds Tea Is Your Answer To Delayed Periods

It gets frustrating when your periods get delayed. If you are someone who likes to plan things, irregular menstrual cycles can throw you off your game. The waiting period can even add to the stress.

There can be multiple reasons behind delayed periods. One of the most common factors is hormonal imbalance which can be caused due to stress, unhealthy lifestyle, frequent consumption of junk food, etc.

In most cases, doctors prescribe hormonal pills that often have a few mild side effects. The list includes breast pain, nausea, reduced libido, breakthrough bleeding, mood swings, and increased vaginal discharge.

Dr Dixa Bhavsar Savaliya, Ayurvedic Expert and Founder of The Kadamba Tree, shared a reel on Instagram and said that home remedies can help to correct hormonal imbalance, and they are free from the side effects of hormonal pills. She added, “They don’t cause mood swings, weight gain, insomnia, and other symptoms.”

She shared a recipe for an ayurvedic tea that can help people struggling with delayed periods and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Check out the recipe and try it at home.

Ingredients Of Ayurvedic Tea

• 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methi seeds)
• 5 gm of jaggery
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds (til seeds)
• 1 glass of water

Method Of Preparing The Ayurvedic Tea

• Pour all the ingredients into a vessel and let them simmer on the medium flame for 5-7 minutes. It will help to extract all the goodness in the ingredients and allow turmeric powder and jaggery to dissolve.
• Strain the ingredients using a sieve to ensure that no seeds are transferred to the cup.
• Enjoy your herbal tea when its temperature has reduced to warm.

Dr Savaliya added a tip for people trying to lose weight. You can soak all these ingredients overnight with half a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Doses Of Tea

• You should drink this tea every morning, empty stomach, for at least 12 weeks if your periods are delayed by three months. It will aid in hormonal imbalance and weight loss.
• You should start taking it at least two weeks before your date of menstruation if the cycle is delayed by 1-2 months.
• If your periods are delayed by just 15-25 days, you should start including the tea in your everyday routine a week before your date.

However, you must know that simply a tea recipe cannot help you get rid of health issues. Whether you are trying to lose weight or trying to correct hormonal balance, you must also indulge in exercise and eat healthy food.
