It sounds like you’re dealing with a lot, let’s dive into some practical Ayurvedic strategies. In Ayurveda, PCOS is often seen as a disorder linked to imbalances in Vata and Kapha doshas, coupled with weakened digestive fire (Agni). Our goal will be to balance these doshas and strengthen your Agni.

1. Dietary Changes: Start with incorporating warm, cooked meals into your diet to increase digestion. Avoid cold, heavy, and oily foods that can increase Kapha. Favor spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric that aid digestion. A decoction of cinnamon and fenugreek might help manage insulin levels, though it’s essential to consult with your doctor before starting this habit. Limit refined sugars and carbs to keep blood sugar balanced and reduce the potential for developing diabetes.

2. Routine and Lifestyle: Establish a daily routine that helps align your body’s natural rhythms. Wake up and eat at consistent timings, and incorporate daily physical activity, like brisk walking or yoga, to help with weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity. Starting with Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) is a great way to invigorate all body systems.

3. Herbs and Remedies: Herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha can help balance hormones naturally. Trikatu, a blend of three spices, may also help enhance digestion. Again, ensure you find a qualified practitioner before proceeding with these, as individual needs can vary.

4. Mind-Body Balance: Stress management is crucial, as stress exacerbates Vata imbalance. Try meditation or gentle yoga to soothe the mind and body. Maybe allow yourself small moments of silence during the day.

Finally, regular medical check-ups to monitor your pre-diabetic status are crucial. Combining Ayurvedic practices with medical advice can provide a holistic approach to managing PCOS symptoms effectively.

HELLO KELLY,

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

Managing PCOS naturally through the Siddha-Ayurvedic approach involves addressing imbalances in doshas, primarily kapha and vata, which often contribute to this condition. It’s important to focus on improving digestive fire (agni) and balancing your body’s energy channels. Begin with dietary changes that support this aim.

Decrease intake of heavy, sweet, and cold foods as they may increase kapha. Favor warming spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric, which can help stimulate agni. Preparing meals with these spices can aid metabolism and support weight management. Consider having warm water with lemon first thing in the morning to jumpstart your digestion.

For hormonal balance, maintaining a regular routine is crucial. Practice yoga and other light exercises like walking for about 30 minutes daily to reduce stress and manage weight. Specifically, focus on poses that aid in pelvic circulation such as Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) or Marjariasana (Cat Pose).

Herbal formulations like Shatavari and Ashwagandha may be beneficial to regulate cycles and manage stress levels, but ensure you consult an ayurvedic professional for personalized advice on dosages. Both herbs can help balance the hormones and improve well-being.

Considering your pre-diabetes, a low glycemic index diet may be important. Opt for whole grains like quinoa instead of refined carbs. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly to keep them stable.

Additionally, addressing facial hair requires attention to hormonal balance. Herbal pastes made with ingredients like Turmeric and Gram flour can be applied to the skin to mitigate facial hair growth, though this takes time and consistency.

If symptoms persist, or you notice worsening signs, it may be necessary to consult a medical professional to ensure comprehensive care. PCOS can be complex, and while natural treatments help, keeping all health providers informed ensures your safety and a rounded approach.
