Doctors’ responses
Sounds like you’re having a rough time dealing with all these issues, and it’s quite understandable why you’re looking for other approaches like Ayurveda. Let’s start with the basics: both PCOS and hypothyroidism often root from imbalances in your doshas. In this case, mostly Kapha and a bit of Pitta—think of it as nature’s way going off the rails a bit.
First things first: let’s talk about food, 'cause that’s pivotal. Aim for a diet that’s light and easy on digestion to boost your agni (digestive fire). Focus on warm, cooked meals that include seasonal veggies, lentils, whole grains, and spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric which help balance Kapha and Pitta. Try cooking with ashwagandha and shatavari, too, since they can be helpful. Reduce heavy, oily, and very sweet foods – they tend to aggravate things.
Then there’s lifestyle—elevate it just a little. Regular exercise is crucial, but find something you really enjoy, maybe yoga or brisk walking for about 30 minutes daily. Helps wth weight and mood. But here’s the catch: consistency matters more than intensity. Also, commit to a daily routine, including waking up/going to bed at the same time, every day. Stabilizes those fluctuating rhythms in your body.
For those pesky facial hairs (I know it’s a hassle), exfoliating with a gentle ubtan made of chickpea flour, turmeric, and a pinch of sandalwood can help over time. Oh, and it can be soothing for pigmentation too.
Lastly, stress matters. Managing stress levels goes a long way with both PCOS and thyroid issues. You might want to try pranayama or meditation—just a few minutes daily can make a difference.
Remember, Ayurveda takes time, so patience will be your best ally. You’re doing well by seeking other possibilities and ultimately, tuning into what’s right for you. If stresses or symptoms get too overwhelming, though, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help.
