Dr. Debabrata Sen, Ayurvedacharya and Founder, Parampara Ayurvedic Wellness Centre | Tuesday, 22 July 2025
Hailing from one of Eastern India’s oldest surviving Ayurvedic families, Dr. Debabrata Sen’s legacy is steeped in history. His forefathers were renowned royal physicians, serving influential families such as the Tagores and the household of Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy. With a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery from the University of Calcutta, he continues this distinguished tradition with a mission: to protect and promote Ayurveda as a true system of medical science, free from the clutches of quackery and commercialization.
“Ayurveda is not just a wellness fad — it is a Swadeshi science rooted in centuries of clinical practice,” he often says. Dr. Sen is especially vocal against the misuse of Ayurvedic terminology by unqualified beauticians and self-proclaimed healers. For him, Ayurveda is not a trend, but a disciplined and holistic approach to healing.
He has been in the forefront of reviving the Ayurveda practice through his relentless outreach among the masses; he is modern India’s face of Ayurveda.
In a world increasingly drawn to natural wellness solutions, Dr. Debabrata Sen emerges as a commanding voice of authenticity and integrity in the field of Ayurveda. An Ayurvedacharya with a deep-rooted lineage and a modern scientific outlook, Dr. Sen has committed his life to preserving India’s rich Ayurvedic heritage while bringing it into alignment with contemporary medical research.
Speaking on the issue of Irregular periods, Dr Sen says,
“Irregular periods are more than just a minor inconvenience — they are often signals of deeper imbalances within the body. In my practice at Parampara Ayurvedic Wellness Centre, I have seen countless women struggle with erratic menstrual cycles caused by hormonal imbalances, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), stress, poor digestion, and even early signs of menopause. While modern medicine offers quick fixes, Ayurveda takes a deeper, natural route—addressing the root causes rather than suppressing the symptoms.
Ayurveda, the timeless Indian system of holistic healing, believes that a woman’s menstrual cycle is governed by the tridoshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Any disruption in their delicate balance can manifest as irregular cycles, painful menstruation, mood disturbances, and fertility issues. A healthy cycle, according to Ayurvedic texts, is a sign of overall vitality and balance.
One of the most common modern causes of irregular periods is PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)—a condition that now affects 1 in 5 women in India. From an Ayurvedic perspective, PCOS is typically considered a Kapha-Vata disorder, where excess Kapha leads to accumulation and cyst formation, and Vata aggravation disrupts the flow and timing of the cycle.
Symptoms such as weight gain, acne, facial hair, mood swings, and infertility are seen as a result of ama (toxins), poor agni (digestive fire), and doshic imbalance. The key lies in correcting these internal imbalances through holistic measures.
In Ayurveda, no two individuals are a like — every woman’s treatment is personalized. However, certain foundational principles remain universal:
Some powerful herbs that support hormonal balance and regular ovulation include:
Studies have shown that these herbs help regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, promoting ovulation and reducing symptoms like acne and hirsutism.
A sattvic diet, which is fresh, plant-based, and seasonal, can drastically improve menstrual health. Foods to focus on include:
Avoid cold, processed, and sugary foods that aggravate Kapha and cause ama build-up.
Women who commit to Ayurvedic routines report improvements within 3 to 6 cycles. Some of the common benefits include:
Most importantly, these remedies come without side effects — as Ayurveda works with the body, not against it.
“Ayurveda is not just a wellness fad — it is a Swadeshi science rooted in centuries of clinical practice,” he often says. Dr. Sen is especially vocal against the misuse of Ayurvedic terminology by unqualified beauticians and self-proclaimed healers. For him, Ayurveda is not a trend, but a disciplined and holistic approach to healing.”
“In my years of practice, I’ve seen young girls, working professionals, and even post-menopausal women reclaim their health through Ayurveda. Irregular periods are not a life sentence — they are a signal. Ayurveda teaches us to listen to the body, restore internal balance, and let healing unfold naturally.”
