तिलघीखजूरदूधगुड़-अजवाइन काढ़ामेथी चाय
Start here
तिल · Sesame
A tablespoon of black sesame seeds, lightly roasted and chewed well, or ground with jaggery into a small ladoo — one a day.
Traditional
घी · Ghee
1 tsp warm cow ghee, taken on an empty stomach or stirred into warm milk at night, carries the other herbs deeper into the tissues.
Traditional
खजूर · Dates
Two or three khajoor soaked overnight in water or milk, eaten in the morning with the soaking milk.
Traditional
दूध · Milk
A cup of warm cow milk at bedtime, boiled and taken slowly — never with salt or sour food in the same hour.
Traditional
गुड़-अजवाइन काढ़ा · Jaggery-ajwain kadha
1/2 tsp ajwain boiled with a small piece of jaggery in a cup of water, warm, from three days before the date — eases cramp and heaviness. Bleeding that soaks a pad an hour is not for home care.
Traditional
मेथी चाय · Fenugreek tea
Fenugreek tea for the week before the date — eases cramp, and in PCOS the cycle begins to settle. Periods absent for three months need a doctor, not a longer course.
