AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON BIRTH CONTROL PILL (PAST OR CURRENT)

The birth control pill is a contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy. Some forms increase progesterone and estrogen to trick your body into thinking it is pregnant when it does not. Others are abortifascent, preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. There are many forms of birth control pills.

Hormonal birth control has been shown to have numerous long term negative effects. Among these include:

  • Reduced sex drive
  • Weight gain
  • Depression
  • Blood clots
  • Low progesterone after discontinuing (causing lower fertility)

How Hormonal Birth Control and Emotions

Hormonal birth control increases oxytocin. Oxytocin is known as the tribal hormone. It aids with bonding to those closest to you (such as your baby), and increases hostility to those outside of your circle (people who disagree with you). On a societal scale, oxytocin could be a factor in increased polarization.

High prolactin levels while on birth control can also increase hostility.

How Hormonal Birth Control Affects Your Sexuality

Use of hormonal birth control affects sexual preferences. Studies have show that women prefer more effeminate looking men while taking the birth control pill. As one client exclaimed, "I realized that when I was on birth control I preferred 'gentler' men. I was off birth control a few years before I met my husband. My husband is incredibly masculine when compared to my BC boyfriends!!."

Use of the birth control pill also affects your attractiveness. Hormonal birth control suppresses the ovulation phase of your cycle, when you are most attractive.

After The Pill

Much like in adolescence, it may take several months to a few years for your body to recalibrate hormone levels after stopping hormonal birth control. If you are considering having a baby after long term birth control use, the reproductive organs may need to be cleansed. Ashoka, musta, hing, and cinnamon are just some of the herbs that can be used to flush the reproductive system. Ashoka can support a balanced endocrine system. Shatavari is estrogenic.

Summary

Ayurveda is natural. All forms of hormonal birth control reprogram the body unnaturally at the very deep level of our sexuality. On a spiritual level, our sexuality is intimately connected to our identity. Reproductive hormones don't just affect fertility, they affect the whole person. Hormonal birth control reprograms, artificially, part of who you are as a person.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3

BIRTH CONTROL PILL (PAST OR CURRENT) IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3 - ATTACKING TISSUE

If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

GET STARTED

To get started on your Ayurvedic journey, we first recommend that your find your body type by taking our free quiz. In Ayurveda, every solution is based on your unique body type, so by taking this quiz, you’ll get the best results.

About John Joseph Immel

About the Author

John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda biocharacteristics. His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.

John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.

John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 7 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
