Understanding the Risks of Birth Control Pills: Insights from Dr. Dimple

Birth control pills, commonly prescribed for various gynaecological disorders, are being increasingly used without addressing the root causes of these conditions. Dr. Dimple, a popular Ayurvedic health coach, sheds light on the potential dangers associated with the overuse of birth control pills and emphasizes the importance of making informed decisions, especially when it comes to young girls.

The Hidden Dangers of Birth Control Pills

1. Increased Health Risks

• Concerns: The use of combination birth control pills can elevate the risk of liver disorders, heart attacks, strokes, and thrombosis (blood clots in the leg).
• Symptoms: Users may experience nausea, stomach cramps, indigestion, trouble breathing, skin discolouration, depression, anxiety, and irregular menstrual cycles.

2. Natural Alternatives to Hormonal Pills

• Plant-Based Hormones: Birth control pills contain concentrations of estrogen and progesterone, which can also be obtained from plant-based foods.
• Seed Cycling: For the first 15 days of your menstrual cycle, consume pumpkin and flax seeds for estrogen. For the next 15 days, consume sunflower and sesame seeds for progesterone. Incorporate fenugreek and carrom seeds into your daily diet to reduce pain and symptoms associated with adenomyosis, endometriosis, and menstrual cramps.

3. Dietary Changes for Hormonal Balance

• Eliminate Animal-Based Hormones: Cut out meat, seafood, eggs, and dairy from your diet to reduce the intake of animal-based hormones.
• Embrace a Plant-Based Diet: Switching to a plant-based diet for six months can help cleanse your body, remove undigested estrogen, and lead to glowing skin, healthy hair, and regular menstrual cycles.

4. Ayurvedic Solutions

• Consultation: Speak to doctors about Ayurvedic syrups like Sukumaram Kashayam, which contain powerful herbs like Shatavari and have no side effects.
