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, 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 -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep DETOX PRACTICES TO FOLLOW these helps removes toxins and reduce cyst formation -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 -engage in art, music, or nature therapy -reduce overthinking and over working- both aggravate vata DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.

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.

Tarkeshwar Ras - #6776

Sofia

I’ve been struggling with constant fatigue and low energy for months now, and someone recommended Tarkeshwar Ras to me. I’ve read that Tarkeshwar Ras is an Ayurvedic formulation used to boost vitality and overall strength, but I’m not entirely sure how it works or how to take it properly. My energy levels have been so low lately that even simple tasks like walking around the house feel exhausting. Despite eating healthy and getting enough sleep, I wake up tired and stay that way throughout the day. Can Tarkeshwar Ras really help with issues like this? Does it work quickly, or is it more of a long-term tonic that takes weeks to show results? I’m also curious about how to use Tarkeshwar Ras. Should it be taken with milk, water, or honey? Does it need to be consumed at a specific time of day, like morning or evening? And how much should I take per dose? Another concern I have is about side effects. Since Tarkeshwar Ras contains multiple ingredients, could it cause problems like nausea or headaches? I want to be sure it’s safe to take, especially if I’m planning to use it regularly. If anyone here has used Tarkeshwar Ras for fatigue or low energy, please share your experience. Did it improve your overall strength and stamina? How long did it take to feel the difference? Were there any lifestyle changes you made alongside Tarkeshwar Ras to maximize its effects?

Tarkeshwar Ras is an Ayurvedic formulation known for its rejuvenating properties and is often used to support energy, vitality, and overall strength. It is especially beneficial for conditions like fatigue, weakness, and low energy. Tarkeshwar Ras works by strengthening the body's natural vitality, balancing doshas, and supporting immune function. It is typically used as a long-term tonic, so it may take a few weeks to show noticeable effects, although some people report feeling improved energy within a week. For best results, Tarkeshwar Ras is generally taken with warm water, though some people prefer to take it with milk to enhance its nourishing and grounding effects. The dosage usually ranges from 125 to 250 mg, taken once or twice daily, depending on individual needs. It's best to take it in the morning or before meals, as it may have a stimulating effect and could interfere with sleep if taken late in the day. Regarding side effects, Tarkeshwar Ras is generally safe when used as directed, but since it contains various herbs and minerals, some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort, nausea, or headaches, especially if they are sensitive to certain ingredients. If this occurs, it's advisable to reduce the dosage or consult an Ayurvedic practitioner. To maximize its benefits, you may also want to incorporate lifestyle changes such as maintaining regular sleep patterns, staying hydrated, and managing stress, as these factors can significantly influence energy levels.

There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s dive into it. Tarkeshwar Ras is indeed revered in Ayurveda, often used to enhance vitality and tackle issues like low energy. It's formulated with metals and herbs that traditionally are supposed to act as a rejuvenative tonic. However, considering you're dealing with persistent fatigue, it's key to first ensure there's no underlying medical condition. So, have you checked with a healthcare provider to rule that out? As for its operation, Tarkeshwar Ras isn’t a quick fix like caffeine. It’s more of a slow-burn solution. It usually takes time—weeks possibly—to work its magic, since it’s focusing on restoring balance and strengthening the body's systems rather than just giving an instant energy spike. Your patience may be needed here. Regarding usage, typically you would take Tarkeshwar Ras with milk, which helps in nutrient absorption, and promotes the calming effects the formulation offers. Consuming it either in the morning, to set you off right for your day, or in the evening, ensuring it's post meals—is recommended. The usual dosage is often 125 mg to 250 mg once or twice a day, but the exact amount should always be confirmed with an Ayurvedic practitioner to match your unique needs and constitution. Side effects? Well, anytime you're dealing with heavy metal-based treatments—you want to tread carefully. Tingling, nausea, or stomach upset happen occasionally if your body doesn't agree with it. So, starting slow and monitoring your body’s response is wise. If there’re adverse effects, better to stop and reassess with a practitioner. Lastly, lifestyle? Continue eating balanced and consider incorporating practices like yoga or breath work. They synergize well with Ayurvedic treatments and may augment your overall energy levels.
