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.

Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD) as a manifestation of imbalances in doshas, primarily kapha and vata, requires a comprehensive approach in Ayurveda. This imbalance interrupts normal hormonal functions. For weight management, focus on enlivening the agni, the digestive fire. Incorporate a diet rich in fiber and low in processed foods. Favor fresh, warm, and unctuous foods such as cooked vegetables, lentils, and whole grains. Avoid cold, oily, and excessive sweet/heavy foods which aggravate kapha.
To address hairfall and acne, consider using Triphala powder (1 tsp at bedtime with warm water). It supports detoxification and balance. Applying a paste of turmeric and neem on acne-prone areas can help inflammation reduction. Shatavari can also be beneficial for hormonal balance, so consume its powder (1 tsp) with warm milk daily.
Pranayama and yoga, especially poses like Bhujangasana and Balasana, might support circulation and balance of hormones too. Stress management with meditation or gentle exercise is crucial, as stress can exacerbate symptoms.
For irregular periods, herbal formulations such as Ashoka and Lodhra can be helpful. Take these after consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner, since individual body types and conditions may differ. Regularity in your daily routine—meals, sleep, and activity—stabilizes vata, improving cycle regularity.
Be patient, Ayurveda works on gradual systemic healing. Persistent issues will benefit from consultation with a skilled practitioner, who can create a personalized plan addressing your specific dosha balance and any underlying health concerns.
To address PCOD through Ayurveda, understanding your unique prakriti (constitution) is crucial as you are experiencing multiple symptoms such as facial hair, hairfall, acne, weight gain, and irregular periods. These indicate potential imbalances in your doshas, particularly Kapha and Pitta.
Dietary Guidance: Start with a Kapha-Pitta pacifying diet to manage your symptoms. Prefer warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Prioritize whole grains like quinoa and barley, include plenty of green vegetables, and opt for fruits like apples and pears. Avoid processed foods, dairy, and refined sugars as they can exacerbate symptoms. Incorporating spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger can aid digestion and support metabolism.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Daily physical activity is not only vital but should be tailored to keep doshas in balance. Engage in light exercises such as yoga, brisk walking, or swimming at least 30 minutes a day. Practices such as meditation and pranayama can reduce stress, a common exacerbator of PCOD symptoms. Try to sleep early and rise with the sun to align your body rhythms.
Herbal Remedies: Consider herbal supplements that are traditionally used in Ayurveda such as Shatavari and Ashwagandha, these support hormonal balance and vitality. You can take 1 teaspoon of Triphala with warm water before bedtime to improve digestion and detoxify the body over time.
Routine and Consistency: Maintaining a regular daily routine supports overall hormonal balance. Try to have meals and sleep at the same times every day.
Observe and Adapt: Every few weeks, reassess how your body feels. If symptoms persist or worsen, further personalization of your plan may be necessary under guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner, especially for irregular periods which might need additional focus for proper hormonal regulation.
Consistency is essential, but don’t ignore any persisting or severe symptoms which might require medical evaluation beyond Ayurvedic therapies. Make sure to consult with a healthcare professional when needed.
