Daily Routine (Dinacharya) For PCOS

Wake up early (ideally before 6 AM) to balance the biological clock and reduce Kapha accumulation.

Practice Abhyanga (self-oil massage) with warm sesame oil or a medicated oil like Kumari Taila to improve circulation and reduce stress.

Dry brushing (Garshana) before bathing helps stimulate lymphatic flow and reduce Kapha.


2. Diet (Ahara) Tips

Follow a Kapha-Vata pacifying diet:

Warm, cooked, light, and easily digestible foods.

Avoid cold, heavy, oily, fried, sugary, and processed foods.

For addressing PCOD and its various symptoms like irregular periods, facial hair, anxiety, fatigue, and body fat, a holistic approach based on Ayurvedic principles can be very effective. The goal is to balance your doshas, particularly Vata and Kapha, which are often involved in PCOD. I commend your willingess to make lifestyle changes and incorporate herbal aides into your daily routine.

Begin by focusing on your diet, as it has a significant impact. Eat a warm, cooked meals, especially focusing on foods that can enhance your digestive fire (agni). Include more whole grains like quinoa and barley, and plenty of fresh vegetables. Avoid processed food and sugary stuff, as they can aggrevate your condition. Spices like cumin, turmeric, coriander, and ginger are great for balancing hormones and enhancing digestion.

Incorporating herbs like Ashwagandha can help with stress and anxiety, as it’s an adaptogen that helps body cope with mental strain. Shatavari is another herb beneficial for balancing female hormones and promoting reproductive health. Take these in powdered form with warm water or milk, about half a teaspoon each day.

For facial hair, applying a paste of turmeric and chickpea flour regularly can help reduce its growth. However, this needs to be done consistently over time to observe results.

Establish a regular sleep schedule to combat fatigue and anxiety. Practicing calming activities like Pranayama (breathing exercises) or meditation can also make a big difference in your mental state and sleep quality.

Regular exercise is crucial, not only for reducing PCOD belly but also invigorating your body and mind. Choose a mix of walks, yoga, and slightly more vigorous exercises as per your capacity. Yoga asanas like Bhujangasana, Dhanurasana, and Surya Namaskar are particularly helpful for PCOD.

It’s important also to have regular Ayurvedic consultations to track your progress and adjust the approach as needed. While these suggestions can be helpful, every individual’s constitution is different, therefore refining this approach over time with a professional is beneficial.

Dr. Batu
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

Dr. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Dhruv Pandya
I am Dr. Dhruv Pandya, an Ayurvedic physcian at Gynoveda, working mainly with people who are stuck with chronic hormonel and digetsive problems and cant figure out why things just dont settle. My work is rooted in Ayurveda, but my thinking is very practical, I focus on finding the root cause instead of chasing symptoms that keep coming back again and again. I am deeply interested in understanding each person’s Prakriti, because no two bodies behave the same way, even if reports look similar. Over the years, I have helped treat and cure more then 1,000 patients dealing with long-standing hormonal imbalance, gut issues, irregular cycles, bloating, fatigue, and related concerns. That number matters to me not as a stat, but because it shows patterns, what actually works and what usually doesnt. My approach is simple, though not always easy. I dont believe in scaring people with heavy terms or pushing strong medicines unless truly needed. Small, consistent changes in diet, lifestyle, and Ayurvedic treatment often create real shifts, and I have seen this enough times to trust it. Sometimes progress is fast, sometimes slower, and that part can be frustrating, but it is also honest. I try to keep consultations open and judgement-free, because healing starts when patient feel safe enough to speak freely. I listen a lot, maybe more then expected, because symptoms often say more then lab values. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again, not someone managing a condition forever!!

Dr. Sandesha Shukla
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician, trained deeply in classical Ayurveda and still learning every day through my patients and practice. My work focuses on restoring balance and vitality by using time-tested Ayurvedic principles rather than quick fixes, which sometimes takes patience, for both of us. I spcialize in managing chronic health conditions, lifestyle-related disorders, and long-term wellness concerns, using individualized care instead of one-size plans. I am experienced in traditional Panchkarma therapies, herbal medicine, diet planning, and lifestyle guidance, all based on a patient’s unique Prakriti and present imbalances, or Vikriti as we say in Ayurveda. I spend a lot of time understanding digestion, stress patterns, sleep, joint pain, skin issues, and subtle symptoms that are often ignored. Sometimes patients expect fast results, and I have to slow things down, explain again, and that process matter. My approach is root-cause oriented, not symptom hiding. I focus on agni, dosha balance, and daily routines, even when it feels repetitive or uncomfortable at first. I believe healing works best when patients are involved, asking questions, adjusting habits, and yes, making mistakes along teh way. My clinic offers a calm, nurturing environment where traditional Ayurvedic healing meets modern understanding of chronic disease and preventive care. I try to create space where body and mind are treated together, not separately, even if that idea feels new to some. I am here to guide patients who seek relief, prevention, or simply better balance in life, using Ayurveda in a natural, holistic, and sustainable way!!

Dr. Misba Gaded
I am Dr Misba Gaded and ya, I'm an Ayurvedic physician with a BAMS degree—Ayurveda isn’t just my profession, it kinda became the way I see health, honestly. I mainly focus on general wellness n women’s health.. both areas really close to me for different reasons. Over time, I’ve got used to seeing a wide range of stuff like skin problems (those chronic ones that keep bouncing back), obesity, digestion that just won’t stay calm, joint pain that lingers, and typical things like constant fatigue or that never-ending cough & mild fevers. Sometimes it's more about untangling what's not obvious, right? One of my deeper areas of interest is women’s wellness.. I deal a lot with hormonal mess-ups—like PCOS, irregular periods, ovarian cysts, or issues around garbhashaya (womb care). Most women I meet are juggling so much, and it's like, they forget their own balance in all that. I try to bring that back through a mix of Ayurvedic herbs, food tweaks, daily routine shifts and even simple yoga flows if they’re open to that. Not like some magic fix in a bottle kinda thing.. it’s more patient, more layered. Sometimes we go all classical—formulations from the granthas, tailor-made to the person's prakriti and vikruti. Other times it’s just about cleaning up gut stuff and giving digestion some peace. That helps a lot more than people expect. I don't usually rush through consults, coz I need to really listen—sometimes what a person’s not saying tells you more than what they are. Anyway, I’m not into overcomplicating treatment or going all flashy about Ayurveda. I like keeping it rooted. I just want to help people feel more “at ease” in their own body again, whether it’s through a ghee-prep or a lifestyle reset or calming an aggravated pitta that's burning them from inside out. That's kinda the space I work in. Every person comes in with their own story.. I just try to meet them where they are and walk with them from there.

Dr. Haresh Vavadiya
I am an Ayurvedic doctor currently practicing at Ayushakti Ayurveda—which honestly feels more like a learning ecosystem than just a clinic. Being here has changed the way I look at chronic conditions. You don’t just treat the label—you go after the cause, layer by layer, and that takes patience, structure, and real connection with the person sitting in front of you. Ayushakti has been around 33+ years, with global reach and seriously refined clinical systems. That means I get to work with protocols that are both deeply rooted in traditional Ayurveda and also super practical for today’s world. Whether I’m managing arthritis, asthma, skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, hormone trouble, gut problems, or stress overload—my first step is always a deep analysis. Prakriti, doshas, ahar-vihar, past treatments—everything gets mapped out. Once I’ve got that picture clear, I create a plan using herbal medicines, detox programs (especially Panchakarma), Marma therapy if needed, and definitely food and routine corrections. But nothing’s random. Each piece is chosen for *that* person. And I don’t just prescribe—I explain. Because when someone knows *why* they’re doing a certain thing, they stick with it longer, and the results hold. One thing I’ve learned while working here is how powerful Ayurved can be when it's structured right. At Ayushakti, that structure exists. It helps me treat confidently and track results properly. Whether I’m working with a first-time visitor or a patient who’s been dealing with the same thing for 10 years, my goal stays the same—help their system return to a natural, sustainable state of balance. What I really enjoy is seeing how people’s mindset changes once they start to feel better. When they stop depending on just temporary relief and start building their health from within—that’s when the real shift happens. And being part of that shift? That’s why I do this.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.
