HELLO KANAK,

PCOS is a condition where the ovaries produce many small fluid filled sacs(cysts) and the hormones get imbalanced. This leads to -irregular or scanty periods -acne, oily skin -extra facial/body hair (hirsutism) -difficulty in conceiving sometimes -some women are lean with PCOS

Ayurvedic view -caused by imbalance in kapha (heaviness, mucus, sluggishness) and Vata (irregularity, dryness, hormonal misfiring), sometimes aggravated pitta (heat, acne, inflammation) -weak digestion -> toxin formation-> blocks reproductive channels -fat tissue increases and disturbs hormone balance -thus, cycles stops being regular, cysts form, and skin/hair issues appear

TREATMENT GOALS -Restore cycle regularity (normalize menstruation and ovulation) -balance hormones naturally (reduce excessive androgens that cause acne/hair) -reduce cysts by clearing kapha and ama -improve metabolism and digestion (strengthen agni) -purify blood and skin (for acne, psoriasis- like dryness) -support fertility if pregnancy is desired later -prevent complications (diabetes, infertility)

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces ovarian cyst, clears kapha, helps in thyroid

2) ASHOKAGHRITA= 1 tsp in morning with warm water =regulates menstruation, strengthens uterus, increase flow

3) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk at night =nourishes reproductive system, balances hormones

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water =detox, improves digestion, clears ama

5) KUMARYASAVA= 15 ml with water after meals =useful for irregular periods and liver support

6) MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily afte meals =purify blood, help with acne and skin dryness

DURATION= usually 3 months

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE= daily with Nimba taila+ coconut oil =balances vata, nourishes skin

2) HERBAL PASTE= neem+ turmeric + rose water for acne prone areas

DIET -light, warm, fresh meals -barley, green gram, horse gram, millet, quinoa, -leafy vegetables, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, bitter gourd -spices= turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, black pepper -Nuts= almonds, walnuts, soaked not fried -fruits= pomegranate, papaya, apple, guava avoid excess banana, mango -herbal teas= cinnamon, ginger, tulsi, fenugreek water

AVOID -junk food, bakery, fried foods -excess dairy especially cheese, panner, curd at night -sugar, sweets, chocolates, soft drinks -red meat, processed food -excess sour/spicy foods worsen skin and pitta

LIFESTYLE -regular sleep= sleep by 10 -11 pm, wake up early by 6 am -Exercise daily= brisk walking, yoga or moderate cardio 30-45 mins -Avoid daytime sleep increases kapha -stress management= journaling, meditation, chanting, positive routine

YOGA ASANAS (help ovaries, uterus, hormones) -supta baddha konasana -bhujangasana -dhanurasana -ustrasana -paschimottanasana -malasana

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormoes -bhramari= calms mind, reduces stress

HOME REMEDIES -fenugreek seeds= soak 1 tsp overnight, eat in morning- improves insulin and periods -cinnamon tea= regulates cycle, balances hormones -flax seeds powder= 1 tsp daily- reduces excess androgens, good for acne/hair -aloe vera juice= 20 ml on empty stomach= regulates hormones -turmeric + warm milk at night= anti inflammatory, good for skin

PCOS is reversible with consistent Ayurvedic management, lifestyle changes, and patience

Focus is not only on the ovaries but the whole metabolism

It usually takes 3-6 months for noticeable results

Skin issues are connected with internal imbalance-> once metabolism and hormones are balanced skin also clears

Ayurveda aims to “reset” your system from the root- not just control periods but eat metabolism, skin, hormones, and mind together

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Scanty periods, cystic acne, and hair thinning are often interlinked with a Kapha and Vata imbalance in Ayurveda, particularly when PCOD and thyroid are involved. Addressing the root cause can help in alleviating these symptoms and improving overall well-being.

For your dietary approach, consider focusing on Vata-pacifying and Kapha-reducing foods. Include warm, cooked meals such as kichari, and stews which can be easier on digestion. Foods like whole grains (such as quinoa and oats), root vegetables, and healthy fats (like ghee and sesame oil) can be nourishment-dense and promote balanced body weight. Avoid processed and cold foods, which may aggravate Kapha.

Herbal support might include Shatavari and Ashwagandha, both recognized for balancing hormones and building strength. Shatavari helps in maintaining reproductive health, while Ashwagandha supports thyroid function. Take in a powdered form or as recommended by practitioner.

It’s essential to manage stress, a common trigger for hormonal imbalances, through meditation, pranayama, or some form of gentle yoga. Practices like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can harmonize the doshas and reduce stress.

Ensure sufficient sleep, as healing occurs during rest. Sleep by 10 pm to harness natural hormonal cycles. Minimize screen exposure from electronic devices an hour before bedtime to improve sleep quality.

For direct application on the face, you can apply a paste made from turmeric and sandalwood in water; the antibacterial properties can help manage acne. For hair, gently massaging the scalp with warm coconut oil infused with Bhringraj before shower can strengthen hair and reduce thinning.

Do regular physical activity, like brisk walking or yoga, which are beneficial to stimulate circulation, encouraging hair growth and detoxifying the body. Monitor your thyroid levels alongside PCOD treatments to maintain a check on hormonal balance. It’s crucial you consult health care professional for any changes to treatment plans considering chronic conditions.

For your condition, it’s essential to address the underlying imbalances contributing to the symptoms. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, PCOD can be understood in terms of aggravated Kapha and Vata doshas leading to accumulation of toxins and hormonal imbalance. This disturbance often manifests as reproductive issues and related symptoms like acne and hair fall.

To tackle the cystic acne, incorporate turmeric and neem into your daily routine. You can prepare a paste with turmeric and apply it to acne-prone areas, as turmeric has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. For your hair fall, consider applying bhringraj oil to your scalp twice weekly. Gently warm the oil, massage it into your scalp, and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing it off. This can nourish the scalp and strengthen hair follicles.

Diet plays a pivotal role in managing PCOD and thyroid conditions. Increase intake of warm, fresh, unctuous foods that will help balance the doshas and improve digestive fire (agni). Include nuts and seeds like almonds and flaxseeds, and cook with spices such as cumin, hing, and ginger to stimulate digestion. Ensure you consume sufficient greens and proteins to support weight gain and overall nourishment.

Try practicing mindfulness techniques like meditation or yoga daily to stabilize your mood, as stress can exacerbate hormonal imbalances. Specifically, poses like Sarvangasana and Matsyasana may benefit thyroid function.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider, particularly if considering any major changes to your treatment or new supplement regimens. Regular monitoring of your thyroid levels is crucial to ensure it remains under control.
