Given your situation with PCOD and the absence of periods for a year, it’s essential to gather more information for a comprehensive approach. Have you undergone any specific tests related to PCOD, such as hormone level assessments (like LH, FSH, estrogen, and testosterone)? Additionally, understanding whether you've experienced any symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, or changes in appetite would be helpful. Have you had any previous menstrual irregularities before this year of amenorrhea? In terms of managing your condition, consider incorporating some Ayurvedic remedies. Ashwagandha is beneficial for balancing hormones; you can take it in powder form (1 teaspoon) mixed with warm milk or water, preferably before bedtime. Shatavari is another excellent herb that supports female reproductive health; taking 1-2 teaspoons of the powder daily can be beneficial. Triphala may help regulate your menstrual cycle; taking 1-2 teaspoons at night with warm water can aid digestion and hormonal balance. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables while avoiding processed foods can help manage PCOD symptoms. Regular physical activity, such as yoga or brisk walking, can also promote hormonal balance. Consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance and further assessments will be crucial for your health journey.

To reverse Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and manage its symptoms, including facial hair growth, a holistic approach incorporating lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, Ayurvedic medicines, and Panchakarma treatments is essential. Start by adopting a balanced diet rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats while avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugars that can worsen insulin resistance. Incorporate low-glycemic index foods like legumes and nuts to help stabilize blood sugar levels. For Ayurvedic support, herbal remedies such as spearmint tea can help reduce testosterone levels and improve hirsutism, while cinnamon and fenugreek seeds can aid in managing insulin levels. Ashwagandha is another beneficial herb that can help reduce stress and promote hormonal balance. Additionally, Shatavari can support female reproductive health and regulate menstrual cycles. Panchakarma treatments can further enhance the management of PCOS. Virechana (therapeutic purgation) helps detoxify the body and balance hormones, while Basti (medicated enemas) can improve digestion and enhance reproductive health. Abhyanga (oil massage) can promote relaxation, improve circulation, and aid in hormonal balance, while Shirodhara (pouring of warm oil on the forehead) can help reduce stress and anxiety. Regular exercise, including aerobic activity and strength training, is crucial for improving insulin sensitivity and weight management. Practicing stress management techniques like yoga and ensuring adequate sleep will further support hormonal balance. For facial hair management, consider gentle methods like threading or waxing, and applying a turmeric paste may help reduce hair growth over time. Additionally, ensure sufficient intake of B vitamins and zinc to support hormonal balance.
