I'm 26 yr married for 1yr and from last 2 months i am having irregular periods, i have consulted a doc too but it did not help. My period goes for 15days in a month. suggest me some remedy.

Some effective home remedies that will regularize your menstrual cycle are as follows:

• Consume carrot juice on a daily basis for up to three months.
• Drink lemon juice with a pinch of cinnamon powder. Take this juice once daily for a few months.
• Eat two tablespoons of fenugreek sprouts everyday. You can mix it with salad and have it with your meals.
• Sesame seeds are beneficial in the treatment of irregular menstrual cycle.
• Consume a teaspoon of sesame powder or seeds to 2-3 times daily. It helps in delaying menstrual cycle and relieves from cramps and pain.
• Asafetida increases the secretion of female hormone called, ‘progesterone." This hormone facilitates a regular menstrual cycle. To consume asafetida you will have to fry asafetida gum in butter and mix it with goat"s milk, add a teaspoon of honey. Take this for at least a month for best results.
• Lemon grass is useful in dealing with painful menstruation. Prepare lemon grass tea and drink it once every day.
• Indian aloe Vera is a natural herb and serves as a stimulant of the uterus.
• Marigold is an effective herb for the menstruation-related difficulties. Take a tablespoon of marigold extract once in a day. If you suffer from severe during your periods take the herb extract at least twice a day. This will also help in regulating the blood flow.

Menstruation advice

There are numerous remedies within the confines of your home, rather the kitchen that are useful and invaluable in combating menstrual pain and delay.

Half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder freshly powdered and had with lemon juice works wonders in regularizing the periodic cycle. This juice must be taken every day for a period of 3 months. Incorporate a glass of carrot juice in your diet. The beneficial properties of carrots far outweigh any benefits that can be had from OTC products. Carrot juice taken on a daily basis for four months will yield effective results. The menstruation will gradually return to normalcy at the end of third month.

Another healthy addition in your diet is the sprinkling of sprouted fenugreek seeds in your salads or raw vegetables. Apart from stopping the delay in the cycle, fenugreek also brings down the sporadic pains associated with the periods. Sesame seeds also have similar properties as that of fenugreek sprouts. Consume half a teaspoon of sesame seeds daily to feel the difference.

Have plenty of citrus fruits before meals. Citrus fruits aids with the absorption of iron in your body. Since iron is greatly depleted during the menstrual days, foods rich in iron are a must during those uncomfortable days.
