Your body is always giving you signs. Sometimes they are soft and easy to miss. Other times, they’re louder and more noticeable. 

Missed periods, delayed cycles, or feeling off-balance are just a few of the ways it says, “Hey, something needs attention.”

You might notice:

• ▪️Your bleeding is very light or scanty

• ▪️Your period is irregular or doesn’t come at all

• ▪️Your cycle is unusually delayed

• ▪️You feel bloated, fatigued, or hormonally off

• ▪️You experience spotting between cycles

So if you’ve started Nari Sondarya Malt and now your period is lasting longer than 6 days, it’s natural to feel confused.
You might wonder, “Is something wrong again?”

But here’s the truth:
This is not a sign that something’s wrong. It’s a sign that your body is responding and waking up.

For many women, starting Nari Sondarya Malt feels like the beginning of healing. Periods return, energy improves, and a sense of balance comes back. But healing doesn’t always look the way we expect . Sometimes it comes with changes we didn’t plan for.

One of the most common questions we hear is:
“I hadn’t gotten my periods for a few months. After starting the malt, they came back. But they’re lasting much longer than before. Is that normal?”

If this sounds like you, please know:
Nothing is wrong. Not with your body, and not with the malt.

This longer period is often your body’s way of clearing out old buildup from the months when your cycle wasn’t regular.

Let’s look at why this happens and what you can do to support your body during this time.

Why Does This Happen?

In Ayurveda, your period is seen as your body’s natural way to detox every month. It helps release excess heat, remove Ama (toxins), and keep your system in balance.

There’s a special energy called Apana Vata. It flows downward and is responsible for elimination, especially during menstruation. When your cycle is regular, Apana Vata moves freely, helping your body let go of what it no longer needs, both physically and emotionally.

But when your periods are delayed or stop altogether, that natural cleansing doesn’t happen. Over time, the body starts to hold on to Ama, a kind of toxic waste from undigested food, stress, or poor lifestyle. This Ama can build up in your reproductive system, especially in the tissues known as Artava Dhatu (the tissues that support menstruation and fertility), and create imbalance.

This imbalance often results in buildup within the uterus, which the body may try to release once your cycle restarts. That’s why your period might feel longer or heavier. It’s your body’s way of catching up and clearing out what it couldn’t before.

This kind of buildup can be triggered by various factors, such as:

• ▪️Emotional stress or mental pressure

• ▪️Irregular eating patterns or poor sleep

• ▪️Hormonal imbalances (like PCOS, thyroid issues, or postpartum changes)

• ▪️Long-term use of birth control pills or painkillers

• ▪️Sudden changes in weight, either gain or loss

When you begin taking Nari Sondarya Malt, the herbs like Ashoka, Shatavari, Lodhra, and Dashmool start doing their job. They help:

• ▪️Make the uterus stronger

• ▪️Improve blood flow

• ▪️Clear out the old buildup

• ▪️Bring hormones back into balance
  
  

As this healing begins, the body might need a little extra time during your period to fully clear out what’s been stuck for a while.
So yes, your period might be longer than usual. But that’s not a problem. It’s a healthy and needed part of your cycle getting back on track.

Should I Be Worried?

Not at all.
Longer bleeding after starting Nari Sondarya Malt is not a side effect. It’s actually a sign that your body is doing exactly what it needs to do, to heal, reset, and restore balance.

Your body isn’t making a mistake. It’s simply catching up after months or in some cases, even years of hormonal imbalance .
 We’ve seen women who haven’t had a proper period in 2, 5, or even 8 years, and when their cycles return, the flow may be longer or heavier at first. This isn’t something to fear, it’s part of the cleansing and recalibration your body needs.

What You Can Do During This Time

Here are a few simple ways to support your body:

1. Eat Nourishing Foods

Try to stick to simple, warm meals that feel good in your body. Think homemade khichdi, it's gentle, nourishing, and easy to digest. Soups with whatever veggies are in season are also great. When you cook, add a little pinch of lemon to your dal or khichdi. It really helps with digestion and brightens the flavor.

Try to avoid ordering heavy or oily food from outside right now. Your body needs clean, home-cooked meals to heal properly. And don’t be shy with the ghee. It’s actually really good for your hormones and helps keep things balanced.

Also, include foods like beets, dates, and leafy greens whenever you can. They’re fantastic for building blood and giving you more strength.

Little things like these really add up and support your body while it’s working to get back on track. 

2. Rest More

Don’t push your body. This is a time to slow down. Go for short walks, do light stretching or yoga, or just relax.

3. Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water throughout the day is super important. It helps your body flush out toxins and keeps your energy up.

To make hydration even better, try adding Sabja (basil seeds) to your water. They’re cooling, soothing for digestion, and give you a nice boost of fiber.

You can also try CCFT (Cumin, Coriander, Fennel Tea) as a warm drink. It’s a classic Ayurvedic blend that supports digestion, balances your system, and helps flush out toxins gently.

Keep a bottle or cup nearby and sip throughout the day. It really makes a difference!

4. Continue the Malt

There’s no need to stop taking Nari Sondarya Malt. It’s working with your body, not against it.
If the bleeding feels too heavy, you can take a slightly smaller amount for a few days. But do continue daily use for best results.

How Long Will This Last?

Every woman is different. For some, this may happen just once or twice in the first few months of using the malt. For others, it may take 2–3 cycles for things to settle down.

As your body adjusts, you may notice your periods:

• ▪️Becoming shorter (around 4–6 days)

• ▪️Coming on time

• ▪️Feeling lighter and more manageable

• ▪️Getting more aligned with your natural cycle

• ▪️Having balanced duration and flow that feels easier to handle

These are signs that your body is coming back into its natural rhythm.

A Gentle Reminder

Healing doesn’t always happen in a straight line. And when your body finally gets the support it needs,  like the herbs in Nari Sondarya Malt. It begins to clear out the past and reset.

So if your periods are longer right now, take a deep breath.
This is a part of healing.

Let your body complete what it started. Give it rest, care, and nourishing food. And trust, balance is on its way back.
