Dear one,
Thank you for opening up and trusting me with what you’re going through. I want you to know you are not alone in this. What you're facing with PCOD isn’t just physical; it’s something that touches your self-confidence, your emotions, and your everyday peace. And I completely understand how hard that can be the irregular periods, the facial hair, the sudden weight gain, acne, hair fall it can all feel unfair and overwhelming, especially when you’re just trying to live normally.
But here’s something I want to remind you of your body is not against you. It’s simply asking for help. Ayurveda sees PCOD as a deep imbalance of hormones, digestion, and emotions and the good news is that this can be corrected, gently and naturally, over time. There is a way forward that doesn’t rely on suppressing symptoms, but rather restores your body’s own intelligence and rhythm.
So let’s begin this journey with hope and a clear plan.
Step-by-Step Healing for PCOD (Ayurvedic Plan)
Phase 1: Clearing Toxins (First 5–7 days)
Right now, we must first calm your system and help your digestion work properly again.
Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with warm water before meals (twice daily). This will help boost digestion and melt hormonal blockages.
Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water, twice a day before food. It helps to reduce swelling, puffiness, and internal water retention.
Eat light, warm meals — like moong dal, lauki, red rice — and sip warm water through the day. Avoid dairy and sugar during this phase.
Phase 2: Hormonal Reset & Cycle Regulation (From Day 8 onward)
Rajapravartini Vati – 2 tablets at bedtime (promotes healthy menstrual flow)
Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets after food, twice daily (shrinks cysts, balances hormones)
Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (regulates periods and reduces pain)
Shatavari Kalpa – 1 tsp with warm water in the morning (nourishes reproductive strength)
Phase 3: Skin, Hair & Emotional Balance
Manjishtha Churna – ¼ tsp with honey at night (purifies blood, clears acne and pigmentation)
Bhringarajasava – 15 ml with water twice a day (for hair fall and scalp health)
Apply Neelibhringadi oil 3x/week on scalp – massage gently and wash with mild herbal shampoo
Drink 1 cup of spearmint tea daily – it naturally reduces facial hair by calming excess androgens
Daily Habits to Support Healing:
Practice yoga or walk 30 minutes daily – even a gentle stretch helps your hormones
Breathe deeply twice a day — try Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (10 mins daily)
Eat your meals on time, don’t skip breakfast
Sleep by 10:30 pm — your hormones repair while you sleep
Optional Investigations (if not done already)
Ultrasound pelvis (to track cysts)
LH, FSH, Prolactin, Testosterone
Thyroid (TSH), Vitamin D, B12
HbA1c (to assess sugar-insulin balance)
This is not your fault. Your body has been trying to talk to you — through your skin, your periods, your hair — and now that you’re listening, everything can change. Be kind to yourself. Don’t rush. Even if it takes a few months, the healing will happen, and you’ll feel lighter, healthier, and more like yourself again.
Whenever you feel stuck, unsure, or tired of the journey just remember: you’re not alone. I’m here. This is what we do in Ayurveda we walk together until your body finds its balance again.
Take the first step your body will do the rest, beautifully.
Warmly,
Dr. Karthika
