Also Lifestyle Habits are very important to change:
*Regular exercise: Aim for 30–45 minutes of moderate exercise (like brisk walking, yoga, or swimming) most days.
*Stress management: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises to reduce cortisol (stress hormone) which can worsen PCOD.
*Good sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep for hormone regulation.
##. Natural Detox:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water with lemon in the morning to support liver detox.
Herbal teas: Fenugreek, cinnamon, and spearmint teas may help balance hormones.
Gentle Ayurvedic herbs: Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Triphala are known to support hormonal health and detoxification—but always consult your healthcare provider before starting herbs.

Hello Priyanka,
Thank you for sharing your concern. I can understand your concern regarding PCOD. you're not alone. PCOD is extremely common among women today, but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
**AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE**
In Ayurveda, PCOD comes under Aartav Vaha Srotas Dushti involving
Kapha aggravation which leads to cyst formation➡️ weight gain
Vata Aggrevation ➡️ irregular periods, bloating
Pitta imbalance ➡️ acne, mood swings, hair fall
That’s why PCOD shows up as
✅ Delayed or scanty periods or irregular period

✅ Acne and hair fall
✅ Mood swings or anxiety
✅ Step-by-Step Natural Plan to Reverse your PCOD

3 kanchanar guggulu 1-0-1 after food ( helps to reduce poly cyst size )

✅ For detox you must do pnachakrma
1 Snehapana with varanadi ghritam 30-60-90-120ml follwed by virechana or vamana according to your body type and Capability
This is a detox process in which you have to take sneha that is mediacted ghrita in increasing order of dose follwed by 2 days body abhynga and steam and ultimately purgation or emesis
( this has to be done under proper panchakarma center)
☑️If you are not willing for above detox you can go for FOLLWING at home detox -

HELLO PRIYANKA,
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

-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
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

-reduce overthinking and over working- both aggravate vata
DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

For managing PCOD naturally and balancing hormones, Ayurveda can offer a holistic and personalized approach. One key focus is on balancing the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. PCOD is often linked with Kapha imbalance, leading to metabolic sluggishness and weight gain.
Begin with a daily routine, known as dinacharya. Wake up early, ideally by 6 am, and drink a glass of warm water with half a lemon squeezed in. This helps stimulate agni, or digestive fire. Saunf (fennel) tea twice daily can also aid digestion and metabolism.
Diet plays a crucial role. Opt for a diet rich in fresh, seasonal vegetables and whole grains. Avoid dairy, sugar, and processed foods, as they tend to aggravate Kapha. Include spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger as they have anti-inflammatory properties and support digestion. Consume fruits like berries and pomegranates, which are beneficial for balancing hormones.
Exercise should be part of daily regimen, at least 30 minutes of brisk walking or yoga helps in reducing weight and improving circulation. Certain asanas, like surya namaskar and kapalbhati pranayama, can regulate hormonal balance.
Consider herbal supplements such as Ashwagandha and Shatavari, known for their hormone-balancing properties. But do consult with a qualified practitioner before starting any supplements.
Regular practice of mindfulness or meditation can assist in relieving stress, a common exacerbator of PCOD symptoms. Practicing full belly breathing can calm the mind.
Avoid late-night eating, excessive internet use, and maintain regular sleep schedule. Adequate rest supports hormonal balance and overall health.
Remember to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance. Each individual's practice is unique, adjustments may be needed. While Ayurveda is beneficial, monitor symptoms. If conditions worsen, seek immediate medical attention.
