        abstract = {Menstrual irregularities are increasingly prevalent among adolescent girls due to lifestyle changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances. Ayurveda emphasizes Ahara (diet) and Vihara (lifestyle) as core elements in maintaining reproductive health. This review explores the impact of Yoga and Ayurvedic dietary modifications as integrative and non-pharmacological approaches to managing menstrual irregularities in adolescent girls. Evidence suggests that practices like Surya Namaskar, Bhramari Pranayama, and Shatkarma, combined with diet rich in Rasa-pradhan, Agni-deepana, and Vata-pacifying foods, regulate hormonal balance and enhance reproductive health. Clinical studies support improvements in cycle regularity, reduced dysmenorrhea, and psychological well-being. A combined Yoga-Ayurveda approach is a promising, cost-effective, and sustainable strategy to address menstrual health in adolescents.},
