hello Anu, Certainly. PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is a condition where hormonal imbalance affects ovulation, periods, weight, and fertility. It can be reversed or managed naturally with the right food, daily routine, and Ayurveda support. Your goals weight loss, pregnancy, hormonal balance, and regular cycles are very much achievable with consistency.

PCOD happens when your ovaries produce more androgens (male hormones), leading to irregular or absent periods, weight gain (especially around the belly), facial hair, acne, and difficulty in conceiving. This hormonal imbalance is made worse by a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy food, stress, and poor digestion.

Correct agni (digestion) Remove ama (toxins) Balance kapha & vata dosha Support regular ovulation and healthy egg maturation

Ama Pachana (Detoxification and Digestive Boost – 5 days)

Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at night Shunthi + Jeera + Ajwain Tea – take 1 pinch each, boil in 1 cup water, sip twice daily before meals Light diet: khichdi, steamed veggies, moong soup Avoid wheat, curd, milk, sugar, and deep-fried foods completely during this period

Internal Medications

Pushyanug Churna – 3 g with honey or warm water – once a day before breakfast Rajapravartini Vati – 1 tab twice daily after meals for 30 days (for period regularity) Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tab twice daily after food (for hormonal detox and cyst reduction) Phalasarpi (Fertility-enhancing ghee) – 1 tsp with warm water or milk at bedtime – for 45 days

Early Morning:

Warm water with ½ lemon + pinch of cinnamon 5 soaked almonds + 2 walnuts

Breakfast (8-9 AM):

Moong chilla with mint chutney OR Poha with vegetables + 1 tsp ghee Herbal tea (cinnamon + tulsi + ginger)

Mid-morning Snack:

Amla juice or pomegranate or apple

Lunch (12:30-1:30 PM):

1 bowl red rice or millet roti + moong dal + sabzi (no potato or brinjal) Add 1 tsp ghee to rice or roti

Evening (4-5 PM):

Roasted makhana or chana or herbal tea OR coconut water

Dinner (7-8 PM):

Light khichdi with lauki/tori/pumpkin + soup OR steamed veggie + 1 jowar roti

Bedtime (9-9:30 PM):

1 tsp Phalasarpi with warm water or herbal fertility tea

Lifestyle Guidelines Walk at least 30 mins a day (not just casual walking, but brisk) 20 minutes yoga focusing on PCOD (Butterfly pose, Malasana, Bhramari Pranayama) Sleep by 10 PM — avoid late nights Avoid cold water, packed foods, bakery items, and sugar

Suggested Investigations: Serum AMH, LH, FSH, TSH, Prolactin Pelvic USG – Transvaginal (to assess ovary) Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR (for insulin resistance)

This will not just help with fertility, but also improve overall energy, mood, and long-term metabolic health. Keep track of cycles and make sure you take minimum 3 months of consistent treatment for better egg quality and ovulation.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO ANU,

You are experiencing -irregular periods -weight gain -disturbed hormones -want to get pregnant

These symptoms are often interlinked and stem from an underlying hormonal imbalance. In modern medicine, this often points toward PCOS(polycystic ovarian syndrome).

In Ayurveda , this condition is mostly due to kapha vata imbalance, weak digestive fire and toxin accumulation

WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY? 1) IRREGULAR PERIODS= your ovaries are not releasing eggs regularly (called an ovulation) 2) WEIGHT GAIN= sluggish metabolism and hormonal disturbance often due to high kapha and ama 3)HORMONE DISBALANCE= your hormones are not nourishing you properly; possible increase in androgens 4) INFERTILITY= irregular ovulation + poor egg quality + uterine lining not optimal for implantation

TREATMENT GOALS -remove toxins -balance hormones by correcting doshas -regulate ovulation and menstrual cycles -improve metabolism and hep with weight loss -strengthen reproductive organs and nourish the uterus -reduce hairfall and improve vitality -suport conception naturally

PCOD management involves addressing hormonal imbalances and lifestyle factors. A key focus in Siddha-Ayurvedic medicine is balancing the doshas, especially Vata and Kapha, which are often aggravated in this condition. Improving Agni, or digestive fire, is crucial as it aids metabolism and toxin elimination.

Firstly, incorporating a daily routine can stabilize hormone levels. Wake up early, ideally before sunrise, and engage in light exercises like walking or yoga to help reduce Kapha. Limit heavy exercises that might increase stress and Vata. Pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana and Bhramari, helps maintain hormonal balance and calm the mind.

Dietary choices are an essential aspect. Favor warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Include plenty of fresh vegetables like greens, carrots, and beetroot, which support hormonal balance. Whole grains such as quinoa, barley, and brown rice can stabilize blood sugar levels. Reduce or avoid processed foods, sugars, and cold or raw foods which aggravate Kapha and Vata.

Herbal formulations like Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can help support reproductive health and stress management. Both herbs improve egg quality and regularize menstrual cycles. However, it’s paramount to consult with a knowledgeable Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosing and combinations.

Ensure adequate hydration to assist cellular functions. Sip warm water throughout the day instead of cold beverages. Insufficient hydration can aggravate Vata and slow down metabolism.

For weight management, establish regular meal times, never skipping breakfast, and avoid late dinners. This can sustain digestive Agni.

If symptoms endure or worsen, please consult an Ayurveda specialist or healthcare provider for in-depth assessment and further guidance. While managing PCOD through Ayurveda is supportive, integrating it with conventional medical advice can offer comprehensive care especially if trying to conceive.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOD) can indeed be challenging, but with a blend of Ayurveda and lifestyle adjustments, you can effectively manage it. First, understanding your dosha is crucial; PCOD typically involves a kapha and vata imbalance. Focusing on lifestyle changes and diet tailored to balance these doshas can make a difference. Start your morning with warm water with a dash of lemon which aids in igniting agni, your digestive fire. Regular, small meals emphasizing whole grains, legumes, and fresh fruits and vegetables can help manage weight and balance hormones. Include spices like cinnamon, turmeric, and fenugreek in your diet, well-known in Ayurveda for their benefits in hormone regulation.

Restrict processed foods, sugars, and dairy to reduce inflammation, common in PCOD. Instead, lean on plant-based proteins and healthy fats from sources like nuts and seeds. Exercise is just as important; incorporate yoga or brisk walking into your daily routine to reduce stress and improve circulation, both of which are beneficial for PCOD.

For fertility, focus on improving your egg quality by consuming antioxidant-rich foods — berries, green leafy vegetables, and your daily supply of Amla or gooseberry as a potent supplement. Ayurveda emphasizes stress reduction for improving fertility, so consider meditation or deep-breath breathing exercises daily.

To regularize periods, herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha can be integrated, but only after consulting with an ayurvedic expert for personalized advice. Again, hydration and sufficient sleep go a long way; aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted rest.

Ultimately, to achieve and maintain balance and health, continued monitoring and adjustments to diet and lifestyle are necessary, and consulting with an Ayurvedic physician would help tailor a specific plan to your unique constitutional needs.
