Hi, I just came across your website and found the references to use aloe-sugar syrup for late coming menses. I was two weeks late, not pregnant, and miserable…the aloe syrup worked like a miracle thanks again
Glad to know that these remedies worked for you all. :)
well thanks! you’ve really provided a solution to one of my greatest problems.
Hi, i would like to ask if eating pineapples help? i've heard that it helps. i ate a slice a few days ago.. but my period is still not here yet.. =( i dont know where i can get aloe syrup..
<3
Don't know if pineapple helps but most people say that eating raw papaya certainly helps. But the most effective way to get regular periods is to do Kapalabhati Pranayam regularly. If you have an aloe-plant at home you can easily prepare the syrup. Just click on the aloe-syrup link in this post. You can even extract the gel from aloe-leaves,blend it well and consume the juice directly if your prefer, but the taste may be not to your liking.
Another reason for the period being delayed could be stress. The cause of the stress good or bad can affect our period and when it comes because of being easily excited.
Hi,I m not preganant and my periods are late for more than 1 month? I read about papaya and aloe syrup but how many times I have to take it and what is the quantity is not mentioned. Please Help Me.
You can take the syrup twice a day
does row papaya help abort 3 weeks pregnancy...im having it
can u please tell the quantity of aloe-sugar syrup.
Drinking pure aloe juice is the best remedy, a cup of aloe juice twice a day will do. Sugar is added only for taste. If you insist on adding sugar you have to add half part of sugar to one part of aloe juice.
I wanted to thank you for this post - I found it very helpful
great post, keep going!
some home remedies for menstruation problem
Boil 1 cup of black beans in 5 cups of water and drink the juice half cup before your 3 meals this will help regulate menstruation.
Parsley is one of the most effective among the several home remedies in the treatment of menstrual disorders. It increases menstruation and assists in the regularization of the monthly periods. The unripe papaya helps the contractions of the muscle fibres of the uterus and is very effective in maintaining a proper menstrual flow. The herb hermal is useful in regulating the menstrual periods. It is especially beneficial in painful and difficult menstruation. Two tablespoons of the seeds should be boiled in half a litre of water, till it is reduced by one - third. This mixture should be given in 15 to 30ml doses.
First of all if you need regular periods ,you must sleep for at least 7 hours. Now i am giving you nice remedy for your delayed periods.
Half tea spoon til oil , add one tea spoon of cow's ghee and two tea spoons of pure honey. Mix it all and take it twice a day empty stomach in morning and evening , till your periods start. Frm next cycle repeat it every 5th day
Hi, plz, plz, plz, tell me where i get the aloe sugar syrup and how much i need to take.
Hi Anonymous, refer to comment no: 7, 10 & 13
You need to drink one glassful carrot juice daily for three consecutive months; this simple herbal remedy will surely regularize you irregular menstruation cycle.
Very informative, something that most ladies would want to know...thanks a lot:)

Hi i am not pregnant and my periods are delayed for about 3 months i'm really scared. it was not like this before,is there any good home remedy to regulate my periods please. i'm 24 don't have any kids and want to have soon.
and where can i get aloe plant in cary north carolina
If you are not pregnant and your periods are delayed, please practise Kapalabhati Pranayam regularly. It helps to regularize your periods and is also a good exercise for your reproductive organs. Please consult a good doctor too. I stay in India, so I have absolutely no idea where you can get an aloe plant in North Carolina.
In order to improve your hormones eat nuts and grains which produce more hormones. You should reduce your size if you are fat. your tention is the main hindrance for your menses flow.
Thanku for your reply.........i have started doing the kapalabhati pranayam, hope i will get my periods soon.
What kind of nuts and grains are useful and i'm 127lbs and my height is 5.2, i gained 12 lbs after marriage, so what do you think and suggest.
There are certain conditions that can contribute to the changes in menstruation and flow. You should be checked for any of those. However, feel blessed as many of us suffer from very heavy, almost intolerable periods. Throughout your bodies developmental stages, it is more common to have changes in blood flow during those times. It sounds like now, your body is regulated and therefore evening out. This is a good thing. Just be aware that conditions such as Endometriosis can cause loss of menstruation as well as just the opposite (very heavy bleeding). Your period/blood flow is a direct reflection of the hormones that your body is producing. You may just be one of those people that are not producing as much. The bottom line is that you know your body better than anyone else. Pay attention to the symptoms. If your period ceases altogether, that is definitely reason for concern. At this point, it sounds as if your body is doing as it should.
Stress can be a major factor to missing periods
hey thank you so much,,i m 22 years old unmarried girl,,my period is delayed from 3 months,,i just found this site,,and it is so useful,,for me the solution of aloevera worked perfectly within 3 days,,,,i just took 2 inches of aloevera piece and i removed its gel,,i took that with water,,once in the morning and once in the evening,,and friends it really worked,, i brought aloe juice also,,but it was so terrible in taste,,so its better to take real aloevera from plants.Thank you so much.
is grape juice helpful ? its been 5days and i missed me periods and i did home pregnancy test it was negative and iam sooooooo stressed i want my periods and it never happened before. I was in grade 11 i believe when i misse dmy periods. Is chewing Vitamic C helpful ?
Iam gona drink grape juice regularly . Please advice
Grape juice is helpful for regularizing periods and for this remedy to be effective you have to do it over a period of time. I don't know if chewing vitamin C helps. From what you have written, it looks to me that don't have irregular periods; it's just that your period has been delayed only this time and frankly speaking, 5 days isn't a very long time; some even have periods after 40-45 days. Maybe you are just stressed, why don't you wait for a few more days and then consult a doctor? Don't worry unnecessarily, you might have your period soon and in the meantime, if you are absolutely certain that you are not pregnant, please start doing Kapalabhati Pranayam regularly; it really helps.
Thankyou, I got grape fruit juice today and started drinking it. As i was stressed i went to the doc today and she did a urine test and It was NEGATIVE, but she asked me to do blood test for harmone changes. Iam just over thinking it, thanku for the advice it really made me felt good. :)
Anonymous comment 33: Glad to know that my suggestion made you feel good. Hope you are not suffering from any hormonal imbalance and do seriously think of doing Kapalabhati Pranayam.
Anonymous comment 34: I have no idea about these products, so can't say anything. Why don't you start doing kapalabhati pranayam regularly? Also drink pure aloe juice if it's available.
Actually my harmones are imbalanced...i do take aloe juice daily empty stomach...n from today hv started takin carrot juice from today...should i eat carrot or take carrot juice...??Forever living products are aloe vera n honey products only...thanx for the advice...r u some doctor...??If possible will like to speak to u on same...
I personally prefer to eat raw carrots but if you like the juice better , it's perfectly fine. I'm not a doctor, but I have found some of these home-remedies very effective, that's why I'm sharing with you all.
ohh its fine...was just asking...n thanx a lot
Another reason for the period being delayed could be stress. The cause of the stress good or bad can affect our period and when it comes because of being easily excited.
periods to be delayed for a number of reasons
Problems with your hormones
Being severely overweight
Stress
Changes in diet and exercise regimes
Certain medications
Pregnancy
@Anonymous comment 41: I received your email and have written to you. Don't keep on worrying about it. Everything will be just fine.
Good advice. Thank you,
Hi Anonymous (comment no:44), I really can't advise you on the medications you take; please talk to your doctor about the side-effects of the said medicine (provera). Since your period is delayed by more than 5 months, it's better if you undergo a thorough checkup from a competent gynecologist. You can also practise Kapalbhati Pranayam and try some of the above mentioned home-remedies side by side. Kapalabhati, especially is very effective in regularizing the menstrual cycle, so practise it without fail. And stop worrying too much; you will conceive soon. Good luck!
hi aparna,I hve bought a aloe vera health drink in which there is anthing written abt the remedy for irregular period but for ulcers,bp& internal probl.Is it is the same syrup
@ anonymous- comment #46, Aloevera juice is good for overall health also, so you can use it without any worries. Fresh aloevera juice is the best. But the health drink that you have purchased might also help.
@ anonymous comment #47, Please consider doing Kapalabhati Pranayam regularly; it really helps. Also get yourself checked for PCOD
You can take a cup of aloe juice. When you get used to the taste, you can take a full glass. Fresh aloe juice is the best and it's nice if it's possible for you to take it on an empty stomach. You should do Kapalabhati Pranayam regularly without fail, if possible even twice a day; it really helps. If it's convenient for you can even do Suryanamaskar, that's also a wonderful way to tone your body; it strengthens your abdominal and pelvic muscles. So very helpful in cases of irregular periods. I hope you know the poses well. I wish your periods become regular soon.
Hi Aparna,
My name is vinusri I too have irregular period problem since beginning. For the last six month I have been taking Homeopathy treatment and still I have not got my periods yet. But for the last 15 days I have all the symptoms of coming periods but its not coming out. So, can you please advice me which of the above will be useful for getting the periods soon.
Hi Vinusri, As I have mentioned to other commentors, practising Kapalabhati regularly is the best way to regularise your periods. Also if can include Suryanamaskara (Check comment #50) in your exercise routine it would be great. Also get yourself checked from a gynaecologist to see if you have PCOD. He/She can advise you the best. Even if you are taking medications, please don't forget to do the above mentioned exercises and also try some of the home-remedies like drinking aloe juice etc.
hi i am a 23 years old..i have got blood test done n i am having pcod,my treatments with the doctor for one long year also dint work.is there any natural remedy
@anonymous comment #53: Along with your doctor's treatment, keep doing Kapalabhati Pranayam, Suryanamaskar, brisk walking etc. Also if you are overweight, try and reduce some weight. If you have PCOD, yo tend to put on weight, esp. in teh abdominal area. Also you can try drinking aloe-juice regularly. Good luck.
@Anonymous comment #54: You can continue taking aloe-juice even during those 5 days; there's no harm.
Hi Aparna,
Thank you for your kind help and I am taking aloe juice from yesterday onwards. How much I have take & How to take out the gel from aloe leaves? Should I take full leaves gel & drink it or How? Kindly help me.
Just squeeze out the gel from the leaves, blend it well. You can add a little sugar for taste, but drinking pure juice is the best. start with half a glass (as you may not like it's taste) and slowly increase it to one glass. Do this twice a day.
Hi Manjula, Sorry for the delay in replying. I cannot really advise you anything about taking supplements; you have to consult a doctor/nutritionist for that and besides I stay in India, so have no idea where you can get it in the US. And it's really nice to know that aloe juice worked for you. Along with aloe juice, please do Kapalabhati Pranayama as well. Good Luck!
Hi aparna,I had my last period on 29th September...... I'm not pregnent....I took progeseterone pills twice daily for five days....six days have already passed but I didn't get my period...I"m really worried...please tell me what could be the reasons...I'm 37+ married mom of two kids my height is 5ft and wt is 80kgs....please suggest me what should I do so that my peroid get started....
@ Anonymous comment #61 :You can get aloe juice easily at any supermarket. I have always used fresh aloe from my garden, never purchased aloe juice commercially.
@ Anonymous comment #62 : Please consult your doctor at the earliest. I can't really say anything about the pills you have taken. If everything's fine with you, then please do kapalabhati pranayam regularly and also try to reduce your weight. Good luck.
i m 21 years old and unmarried indian.suffered 4rm irregular menses all my life(30-43 days).drank upripe papaya juice for last 3 months(did'nt get aloe).the first 2 periods were fine(28 days).but menses havent yet come this month(32 days).m worried sick.will papaya not work for me anymore ?
It's not a hard and fast rule that your menstrual cycle should be exactly of 28 days. For some it is 22, while for others it could vary. Some have a 30, 32 35-40 days cycle and it's considered normal. If you have menses a week before or a week after your expected date it's considered normal; that's what a gynaecologist told me. Why don't you wait for 3-4 days and if you don't get your period, consult your gynaec. Papaya juice should work; do practise Kapalabhati also-- it really helps.
Hi Aparna,
I have been taking fresh aloe juice for the last one week and also taking unripe green papaya but I have not got my periods yet. Please help!
If your period has been delayed by more than 15 days, please consult a gynaec at the earliest. And do kapalabhati regularly.
hi,
Am 26 years old and unmarried usually i am having 35 days cycle i cant keep the constant date for my periods. This time i dint get my periods i dont know the reason because of this am getting worry. my marriage is fixed hence i think to reduce my weight actually my wt is 73 and ht 162 so i followed diet, only 5 hours sleeping in night and also i used sauna belt to reduce the belly can u tell me this reason may cause irregular periods
Hi raj, please try pranayamas like kapalabhati and yogasanas such as Suryanamaskar instead of using sauna belts. I really doubt if sauna belts can reduce weight. And do sleep well; 5 hours is too less. You may try the above mentioned home-remedies for your irregular periods. Also see a gynecologist at the earliest to check if you have PCOD
Hi,
My name is moon and I am 33 years old have no children. My periods continuously delayed from last 6 years some time up to 6 months. Every 2 to 3 months I take permolut N tablets. This is lengthy process and I don’t want to continue it any more. I read your recommended remedies and other posted comments. Plz help me so that I can come out this terrible situation. And I want to know the meaning of Kapalabhati Pranayam becouase I don’t understand it. If you can e mail me my id is gulmohers@yahoo.com. Where we can communicate with each other
Thanks a lot
Dear moon, Kapalabhati Pranayam is a breathing exercise that exercises abdominal health and the regular practice of which helps maintain good reproductive health. To read more about Kpalabhati Pranayam and how to perform it please click on this link. Good luck!
Hi Aparna,
i read all your answers they were very helpful.i stay in philadelphia,my periods are very very irregular,my period starts when i take medicines other wise i don't get my period.for how many months we should continue taking this aloe juice and will it harm baby if we are pregnant.i'll wait for your reply
Hi Sravani, you should also practice kapalabhati pranayam along with aloe-juice remedy to regularize your periods. If you are pregnant and when you have period, you shouldn't do it. As far as I know, aloe juice isn't harmful for the foetus, but you can confirm it with an ayurvedic doctor.
Also the weight loss is defiantly a factor of a delayed or missed period. And also stress (u worrying too much about this) is a cause also.
The only solution for this is to stop worrying
massage the area just below your ankle bones. It is an acupuncture point and it can help stimulate a late period.
Many things can influence your cycle. Any stress will alter your body. Stress can come from illness, choice of foods, family issues, job stress or even the weather. It is also known that women in close proximity to one another will "synchronize". If you recently started working or living with other women then you could be adjusting to their cycle.
Soy products have estrogen in them. Grapefruit and it's juice tends to hinder the body's use of estrogen. Just examples. There are some herbal teas that might help. I don't know the names. A store clerk could probably point you in the right direction.Try not to worry about it. It's not necessarily a bad thing. If you continue to miss your period, then talk with your doctor.
Its normal for your periods too be delayed for a number of reasons including ,
Problems with your hormones
Being severely overweight
Stress
Changes in diet and excercise regiemes
Certain medications
Pregnancy
This is from an imbalance of hormones.Read about hormones and your menstrual cycle. There are many causes for your symptoms. Most aren't terrible or life threatening at all, but if it continues, please get checked to make sure it's not a cyst on your ovary or something like that. Stress, diet so many things can through your cycle off. You need to learn how to keep yourself "normal" for you.
thankyou soo much for sharing this wonderful knowledge!! just wanted to ask do these remedies help in PCOS?? Waiting 4 ur reply...
Sure, it helps a lot, but PCOS cannot be cured by these remedies. However, regular practice of yoga and pranayama (Kapalabhati, particularly) is extremely good for your reproductive organs and provides much relief for those with PCOS.
