WHAT IS PCOD IN AYURVEDA? In Ayurveda, PCOD is described as a yoni vyapad(disorder of female reproductive system), especially “ARTAVA DUSHTI”(impure or disturbed menstrual blood). It mainly occurs due to -Kapha accumulation= blocked the channels and causes cysts -medo dhatu (fat tissue) imbalance - agni(digestive fire) is low- causing poor metabolism -Aama(toxins) formulation due to indigestion food
THIS CAUSES -irregular and painful periods -hormonal imbalance - obesity -hairfall/acne - mood swings/anxiety
TREATMENT GOALS -reduces excess kapha and meda(fat) -clears aama(toxins) and improve agni(metabolism) -balance hormones naturally - regulates menstrual cycle and reduce pain - calm the mind and reduce anxiety (Manas doshas)

Hello Riya,
It sounds like this delay in your cycle, constant weight gain, and recurring pimples have been quietly building up over the past months — and now it’s affecting both your confidence and comfort. From an Ayurvedic lens, PCOS often shows a deep-rooted Kapha and Vata imbalance, along with Agnimandya (slow metabolism) and Ama (toxic build-up) blocking the channels that nourish Artava Dhatu (reproductive tissues).
Even though you’re eating clean and doing yoga poses like butter pose, in PCOS the first step is not heavy tonics or only exercise — it’s to stimulate metabolism, clear toxins, and open blocked channels. Only then can we regulate the cycle, control weight, and calm the skin flare-ups.
Treatment Plan
1. Ama Pachana & Agni Deepana (First 7 days)
Goal: Improve digestion, reduce Kapha, and prepare for hormonal balance.
Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily.
Jeerakadyarishtam – 15 ml with equal warm water after meals, twice daily.
(These helps to burn excess Kapha, reduce cystic formation, and awaken metabolism.)
After 7 days start these medicines for 1 month 2. Hormonal Balancing & Cycle Regulation (From week 4 onwards)
Once digestion feels lighter and bloating or heaviness reduces:
Rajapravartini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals (continue until cycles become regular, then stop).
Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal water after meals, twice daily.
Shatavari Churna – ½ tsp with lukewarm water or milk at bedtime (nourishes Artava Dhatu after detox stage).
3. Daily Practices
Diet Avoid: Cold, oily, fried foods, white sugar, packaged snacks, excess dairy.
Include: Barley, green gram, horse gram, bitter gourd, drumstick, ridge gourd, bottle gourd.
Use daily spices: Cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, turmeric, ajwain.
Lifestyle
30–45 minutes daily exercise or yoga — focus on twists, forward bends, and strength poses.
Poses like Malasana, Setu Bandhasana, Dhanurasana help open pelvic circulation.
Sleep before 11 pm to support hormonal reset.
Practice Kapalabhati and Bhastrika pranayama in the morning (avoid during menstruation).
4. Investigations
Fasting insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c.
Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4).
Pelvic ultrasound (if not done in last 6 months).
If followed consistently, this plan aims to first kindle your digestive fire, clear hormone-blocking toxins, and then restore cycle balance. Over time, it should help periods return, prevent further weight gain, and reduce skin breakouts.
With Warm Regards, Dr.Sumi.S

Given your symptoms, this can indeed be linked to PCOS, which affect hormonal balance and potentially cause weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, and acne. According to Ayurveda, PCOS is often connected to an imbalance in the Kapha and Vata doshas, with Ama (toxins) accumulation. Here’re few practical recommendations you can start with.
Firstly, optimizing your diet is crucial. Although you’re eating clean, it’s essential to focus on foods that balance Kapha and regulate digestion. Favor freshly cooked, warm, and lightly spiced food while minimizing cold and heavy meals. Incorporate spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon which enhance digestive fire (agni) and help reduce Kapha. Avoid dairy, sugar and processed foods that can aggravate your symptoms.
Regular daily exercise is necessary, as it helps to combat weight gain and regulate your cycle. Since you already practice yoga, you might want to include poses that are particularly beneficial for hormonal health, such as Surya Namaskar, Bhujangasana, and Vajrasana. Pranayama techniques such as Kapalabhati can also be effective for balancing hormones.
Herbal remedies may also play a role. Consider herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari and Trikatu, which are known for their abilities to support hormonal balance and digestive health. However, consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor these to your needs.
Cleansing routines like regular Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil can be beneficial for reducing stress and balancing the doshas. De-stressing techniques like meditation can also aid in regulating the menstrual cycle by managing stress levels.
If you’re finding your symptoms too overwhelming or worsen, it would be wise to consult with an Ayurvedic physician who could provide a personalized treatment plan based on your prakriti. Balance takes time and patience, but holistic strategies can help address root causes effectively.
In your situation, the symptoms are aligning with imbalances typically associated with PCOS, driven by disruption in your dosha equilibrium, particularly kapha and vata. The kapha predominance may be manifesting as weight gain and disruptions in your menstrual cycle, while the vata imbalance might be contributing to irregular cycles and skin eruptions.
Addressing this, first focus on balancing these doshas. You might start with dietary adjustments. Though you mention eating clean, integrating more warming and digestion-promoting spices into your meals can be highly beneficial. Consider trisodiums such as cumin, black pepper, and turmeric. They can help to boost your agni, or digestive fire, supporting your metabolic processes.
Routine is essential in rebalancing your bodies energies. Take meals at regular times each day, focusing on a kapha-pacifying diet — include foods like barley, rye, and light beans that are less likely to aggravate kapha. Keep heavy, oily and cold foods to minimum.
Herbs are also key allies. Try incorporating Ashwagandha into your daily routine; it helps to nourish ojas and stabilize all three doshas bringing them into harmony. Shatavari is especially beneficial for promoting reproductive organ health, helping to restore menstrual balance. Aim for a consistent intake, but don’t hesitate to check with a practitioner familiar with these formulations to find the correct dosage based on your constitution.
Additionally, physical activity is important but choose grounding and rhythmic exercises that won’t overstimulate vata like brisk walking or yoga—a good choice since you’re already practicing poses. However, be sure to balance the body-mind aspect, perhaps through breath work, which also helps in maintaining emotional balance amidst the fluctuating hormonal levels.
As PCOS can sometimes escalate in severity, be vigilant and consult with a healthcare provider if your condition doesn’t improve or if symptoms worsen. This ensures you’re tracking any underlying conditions properly and gives you a safe path forward. Remember, Ayurveda works at its gradual pace, allowing the body and environment to sync harmoniously. Patience and consistency are key.
