Pcod - #19121

Your symptoms suggest PCOD with insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance. Continue homemade food and yoga, but focus on low-glycemic, fiber-rich meals to stabilize insulin levels. Avoid sugar, refined carbs, dairy, and processed foods. Include flaxseeds, fenugreek, and cinnamon in your diet regularly Z Try Shatavari and Triphala churna for hormone balance and digestion. Drink Jeera-Dhania-Fennel tea daily to reduce bloating and support metabolism. Apply Kumkumadi oil for facial hair and consider Ubtan with turmeric and chickpea flour. Are your stress levels high? PCOD worsens with stress, so practice deep breathing (Anulom Vilom) and gentle yoga (Baddha Konasana, Malasana). Would you like specific Ayurvedic formulations to support hormonal health and cycle regularity? A detailed analysis of your Agni status , dosha imbalance, and overall health is needed for a proper treatment protocol.

Alright, dealing with irregular periods and facial hair can be really frustrating, I get it.. You're already on the path with homemade food and yoga, which is great, but sometimes it takes a bit more tweaking, especially with things like insulin resistance, which seems to be the root here. So, let’s dive in and think about a holistic approach from an Ayurvedic perspective that could complement what you're already doing. Regarding the irregular cycles, we often see this related to a kapha imbalance. Kapha can impact the reproductive system by creating blockages, you know, sort of “slowing things down.” So focusing on balancing kapha might help. Consuming foods that are light, dry, and warm could assist in stabilizing this. Include grilled veggies or soups spiced with warming spices like cumin, ginger, and cinnamon. Avoid cold, heavy, or overly processed foods. You’re eating home-cooked already, so just a few adjustments might do the trick. Now about insulin resistance, it’s linked to an aggravated meda dhatu, or fat tissue, in Ayurveda. Reducing sweets and refined carbs can support, but you might dig into your eating schedule too. Eating at consistent times can balance your agni, or digestive fire. Have your largest meal at midday when digestion is naturally stronger. Your yoga practice is fantastic! Adding some specific asanas such as dhanurasana (bow pose) or ardha matsyendrasana (half spinal twist) could help enhance the balance of hormones. Even just a few minutes of pranayama each day, practices like kapalabhati and anulom vilom — can also really spark your digestion and reduce stress. Herbal teas can be soothing and balancing, like fenugreek or spearmint. They’re said to potentially impact hirsutism (unwanted hair growth) positively. A half teaspoon of fenugreek seeds soaked overnight in water, drunk first thing in the morning, might also support insulin sensitivity. Now, I know you’re taking meds already—and it's crucial to continue them as prescribed. Whatever you're trying, chat with your doctor about any new practices you're considering. It’s important everything works together, not against, for your health. Ayurveda works great alongside other treatments but always needs a coherent strategy. Finding what clicks for your body can take time and small changes can make big differences. Keep listening to your body and adjust as needed. Best of luck!
