You’re experiencing several distinct concerns, so let’s address them with an Ayurvedic perspective. Starting with PCOS, it’s typically associated with Vata and Kapha imbalances. The heaviness and pain you’re feeling, including issues like heavy bleeding, could be linked to this imbalance, alongside possible Pitta vitiation, considering the intense emotions and acne symptoms.
First, the lifestyle. Emphasize on a routine that reduces stress, as stress can exacerbate PCOS symptoms. Consider incorporating yoga or meditation into your daily routine. Pranayama exercises, like Nadi Shodhana, are especially beneficial. Prioritize 7-8 hours of restful sleep as imbalance can sometimes stem from poor sleep quality.
Diet-wise, you could benefit from a Vata-Kapha pacifying diet. Warm, cooked meals, and avoiding cold, raw foods would be ideal. Focus on including spices like cumin, fennel, and turmeric in your diet to support digestion and balance. Try to consume ghee, it’s not only good for digestion, but it’s rejuvenative too.
Regarding the renal stone, hydrate well. Warm water with a bit of lemon can be supportive, but avoid icy-cold drinks. Foods like barley water or horse gram could help in stone management.
Your pain in the popliteal and other areas suggests aggravated Vata. Castor oil massage followed by a warm compress could relieve pain. Bathing with warm water and taking care of exposure to cold winds also matters.
As for dizziness and the loss of direction, grounding practices help. When you feel chakar, try sipping warm water with a pinch of salt. This often helps balance.
Given the multifaceted nature of your symptoms, continued regular follow-ups with both an Ayurvedic professional and your primary healthcare provider will be important to monitor and address any severe or persisting symptoms. A combined approach is sometimes essential, considering the complexity at hand.

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
