At Maitri, we believe true empowerment begins with knowledge, care, and support—not just through employment but also through education and wellness. As the most trusted provider of domestic help services in Guwahati, Maitri organizes monthly helper meetings every second Saturday to equip our helpers with vital information that can uplift their lives both personally and professionally.
In our May 2025 edition of the Helper Meet, we focused on a subject often overlooked yet deeply impactful—women’s menstrual health and wellness. Titled “Healthy Diet & Lifestyle: Ayurvedic Treatments for Menstrual Issues”, this interactive session aimed to break the silence and create awareness around common challenges women face during menstruation.
Guest Speaker Spotlight: Dr. Hemen Kalita
We were honored to host Dr. Hemen Kalita, Associate Professor in the Department of Roga Nidan, Government Ayurvedic College. With his profound expertise in Ayurveda and women’s wellness, Dr. Kalita shared time-tested remedies, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle strategies that can help women manage issues like irregular periods, menstrual cramps, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances naturally.
Understanding the Issue: Why This Matters
Menstruation is a natural and essential process in a woman’s life. Yet, many women—especially those working in demanding household roles—suffer in silence due to lack of awareness or access to holistic care. As part of our commitment to improving the lives of our team, this session emphasized accessible, Ayurvedic-based health solutions.
