Yoga, through practices such as Asanas, pranayama, and meditation, helps manage stress and balance hormones. Ayurvedic formulations like Rajahpravartini Vati and Kanchanar Guggulu are used to regulate hormones and support reproductive health. A daily 30-minute Yoga practice aids in weight management and stress reduction, stabilizing hormonal function.
