Yes, Ayurveda does offer treatments for hirsutism (excess hair growth due to high male hormones) and irregular periods, often linked to hormonal imbalance or PCOS. The approach focuses on balancing Vata-Pitta-Kapha, regulating the menstrual cycle, and reducing androgen excess through herbs, diet, and lifestyle. RX 1.Shatavari granules 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk after meals 2.Kanchnar guggulu 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 3.Lodhra churna 1/2 tsp twice daily with honey or water after meals 4.Ashokarishta 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 🧘 Lifestyle & Dietary Guidance - Diet: Favor warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Avoid excess sugar, fried foods, and dairy that aggravate Kapha. - Seeds & herbs: Flax seeds, fenugreek, and spearmint tea are traditionally used to reduce androgen activity. - Yoga & Pranayama: Baddha Konasana, Bhujangasana, and Anulom Vilom help regulate reproductive health and reduce stress. - Daily routine: Adequate sleep, stress management, and regular exercise are crucial for hormonal balance. WARM REGARDS DR. ANJALI SEHRAWAT

HELLO, PCOD means that your ovaries are not working normally. Instead of releasing one healthy egg every month, your ovaries are producing many small immature eggs that stay inside and form small fluid- filled sacs or cysts Think of your body as a system of hormones that must stay in balance. IN PCOD -the body makes too many male hormones which women also have in small amounts - this stops ovulation, causing irregular or no periods -it also affect insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar. If insulin is not working properly(insulin resistance), it makes the body gain weight and worsens pcod. In Ayurveda, PCOD is caused by an imbalance in the kapha and vata doshas, leading to -ama(toxins) blocking the channels in your ovaries -slow metabolism(poor digestion- weak agni) - hormonal irregularities - stress(aggravates vata) adding to iiregularity INTERNALLY START WITH 1) M2 TONE SYRUP(by charak)= 2 tsp twice daily after meals = helps ovaries work better, bring back your periods regularly 2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU( baidyanth/ AVP)= 2 tabs twice dailyafter meals with warm water = melts small cysts in your ovaries, supports thyroid and weight loss 3) ASHOKARISHTA(baidyanth/dabur)= 2 tsp with equal water twice daily after meals = regulates periods, reduces heavy bleeding and pain, supports uterus 4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime = clears toxins from your body and improves digestion 5) EVECARE CAPSULES(by himalaya)= 1 cap twice daily after meals =balances hormones, improves ovarian function, regularises periods DIET PLAN FOODS TO INCLUDE 1) WHOLE GRAINS -millets= foxtail, barnyard, kodo, little millet- regulate insulin and reduce fat -quinoa, amaranth, red/brown rice -rolled oats(not instant) 2) VEGETABLES -focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent food -bitter gourd, drumstick, methi -cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, ash gourd -avoid raw salads, cook lightly and digestive spices 3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries 4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week) 5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance 6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger FOODS TO AVOID -cold and raw foods like smoothies, raws salads - sugar and white bread=causes weight gain and acne -fried or packaged foods= increases toxins -milk,panner,cheese= can make cysts worse -stress and late night= disrupts hormones LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR DEEP HEALING 1) DAILY RHYTHM -wake up before 7 am= sets hormonal rhythm -hydration=warm water with lemon+pinch of turmeric or methi seeds water(soaked overnight) -meal timing= eat meals at regular intervals; no skipping -sleep= sleep by 10-10:30 pm to optimise melatonin and cortisol balance -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep DETOX PRACTICES TO FOLLOW these helps removes toxins and reduce cyst formation -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water -CASTOR OIL=montly one 10 ml in milk at night -Self oil massage= sesame oil daily before shower -TAKRA- buttermilk spiced with cumin and ginger daily after lunch FACIAL HAIR REMEDIES 1) TURMERIC AND CHICKPEA FLOUR UBTA(weekly thrice) -2tbsp besan -1/2 tsp turmeric -1 tsp sandalwood powder -rose water or raw milk (to make paste) HOW TO USE -Apply a thin layer on face -let it semi-dry, then scrub gently in circular motion (opposite direction of hair) -wash off with lukewarm water =helps weaken hair roots and reduce regrowth over time 2) THANAKA POWDER OR KUSUMA OIL This is proven traditional treatment -mix 1 tsp Thanaka powder with a few drops of Kusuma oil -apply on the face daily at night -leave overnight and wash in morning =after 8-12 weeks , you will report significant reduction in hair thickness 3) SUGAR, LEMON AND HONEY SCRUB (twice weekly) -Natural bleaching + exfoliation -1 tbsp sugar -1 tbsp lemon juice - 1 tsp honey =rub gently on face for 10 minutes before washing YOGA AND MOVEMENT BEST YOGA ASANAS -malasana= opens pelvic region -baddha konasana= improves circulation to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs -setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and pelvic hormones -suryanamskar= 5-7 rounds PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones, calms mind - bhramari= reduces anxiety and supports pitutary -kapalbhati= light version, support metabolism MIND BODY CONNECTION PCOD is deeply linked with stress and emotional stagnation -practicue gratitude journaling, emotional release -engage in art, music, or nature therapy -reduce overthinking and over working- both aggravate vata DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.

Hello I totally get how upsetting it is to deal with unwanted hair and messed-up periods for over a year. It messes with more than just your body; it hits your confidence and mood, too. The great thing is, Ayurveda can fix this at the source, not just hide the symptoms. YOUR CONCERN Main problems: –Hirsutism (male-pattern hair growth) –Irregular periods –Been happening for more than a year –Mood swings –Caused by high male hormones (androgens) WHAT AYURVEDA SAYS This is called Aartava-dushti, where Kapha, Pitta, and Vata are out of whack. It’s usually related to hormone problems, like PCOS. Inside your body: –Kapha is blocking your ovaries –Pitta is boosting male hormones –Vata is messing with your periods Because of all this: –Your ovaries aren’t releasing eggs right –Estrogen drops –Testosterone goes up –Hair grows where it shouldn’t So, here’s what we gotta do: –Unblock those ovaries –Detox your hormones –Get Pitta &Kapha balanced –Get your period back on track HOW LONG IT TAKES –Since this has been going on for over a year: –Periods should get regular in 1–2 cycles –Hair growth should slow down in 6–8 weeks –No new thick hair in about 3 months The old hair won’t disappear, but new male-pattern hair will stop growing. AYURVEDIC THERAPY INTERNAL MEDICATION 1.Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tabs, twice a day 2 Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tabs, twice a day 3.Shatavari Kalpa– 1 tsp, twice a day with warm milk 4.Triphala Churna– 1 tsp at night These things: –Lower androgen production –Shrink ovarian cysts –Make your periods regular –Improve your skin & hair WHAT TO EAT (THIS IS HALF THE BATTLE)Avoid: –Sugar –Bakery stuff –White rice –Milk & cheese –Fried food ✅ Eat: –Green veggies –Moong dal –Millets –Flaxseed –Spearmint tea WHAT TO DO Walk for 30 minutes every day Go to bed before 11 pm Don’t stress eat Hirsutism caused by hormones can be reversed if you treat your ovaries and hormones – not just remove the hair. You’re not broken. Your hormones are just not balanced – and Ayurveda can fix that. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
