According to Ayurveda, Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is viewed as a condition caused by an imbalance in the body’s three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The symptoms you listed—hair loss, weight loss, and hormonal imbalance—are considered manifestations of this underlying dosha disruption. Specifically, PCOD is often linked to an excess of Kapha and Vata doshas, which can lead to a build-up of toxins (Ama) and affect the reproductive and metabolic systems.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Symptoms Hormone Imbalance & PCOD
Ayurveda sees hormonal imbalance not as the root cause, but as a symptom of a deeper issue. The primary goal is to correct the dosha imbalance and improve the body’s internal environment. The accumulation of toxins and improper functioning of the digestive fire (Agni) are believed to be the main culprits.
Hair Loss 💇♀️
In Ayurveda, hair loss is often associated with an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs metabolism and heat. However, in the context of PCOD, it’s believed to be a result of the overall hormonal disruption. The excess androgens (male hormones) that are common in PCOD are seen as a factor that can lead to male-pattern baldness in women.
Weight Loss While PCOD is often associated with weight gain, Ayurveda also recognizes that it can cause metabolic issues that lead to difficulty maintaining weight or even unintentional weight loss in some individuals. This is often linked to a vitiated Vata dosha, which is characterized by dryness and catabolism (the breaking down of tissues), or a severely depleted Agni.
Ayurvedic Treatment Approach Ayurvedic treatment for PCOD is holistic and aims to address the root cause, not just the symptoms. It typically involves a combination of dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and specialized cleansing therapies.
Dietary Recommendations 🍎
A Kapha-pacifying diet is generally recommended, focusing on foods that are warm, light, and easy to digest.
Consume: Fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate spices like turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, and ginger, which are believed to improve metabolism and hormonal balance.
Avoid: Processed foods, sugary snacks, refined carbohydrates, and cold or heavy foods.
Routine and stress management are key in Ayurveda.
Exercise: Regular, moderate physical activity like yoga, walking, and swimming can help manage weight, improve insulin sensitivity, and regulate hormones.
Stress Management: Practices like Pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation are recommended to lower stress-related hormones like cortisol.
Sleep: Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and getting adequate rest is crucial for hormonal balance.
Tab pushpadhanva rasa 1-1-1 before food Tab leptaden 1-1-1 before food Ashokarishta+kumaryasava- 4 tsf 2 times a day with equal water after food
Dear Sumaya, Thank you for sharing openly. You are 29 and have PCOD syndrome since long, now struggling with hormonal imbalance, hair fall, weight gain, anovulation, stress, and recently had a miscarriage (Jan 2025). This points to Kapha–Vata vitiation with Artava-dushti (ovulatory dysfunction), Agni weakness, and stress-related hormonal imbalance.
The aim of Ayurveda here will be:
1. Regulate cycles & ovulation. 2. Balance hormones naturally. 3. Support fertility & uterine strength after miscarriage. 4. Reduce stress, weight & hair fall.
🔍 Recommended Investigations
1. Hormonal profile – LH, FSH, AMH, Estradiol, Progesterone, Prolactin, TSH. 2. Ultrasound pelvis (ovarian morphology, endometrium thickness). 3. CBC, Hb%, Serum Ferritin. 4. Vitamin D, B12, Iron studies. 5. Inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, homocysteine if possible).
💊 Internal Medicine
Phase 1 – Hormonal Balance & Agni Dīpana (2 weeks)
1. Trikatu churna – 1 g with warm water after meals, twice daily. 2. Guduchi ghana vati – 2 tabs twice daily after meals. 3. Kanchanara guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily (balances thyroid–ovarian axis).
Phase 2 – Fertility Support & Artava-pravartaka (for next 2 months)
1. Shatavari churna – 3 g with warm milk at bedtime (uterine tonic). 2. Phala ghrita – 1 tsp with warm milk, empty stomach morning. 3. Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal water, after meals, twice daily. 4. Chandraprabha vati – 2 tabs twice daily (urinary–reproductive support). 5. Lodhra churna – 2 g with honey, once daily (strengthens endometrium).
🌿 Panchakarma Therapy

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle
Pathya (Recommended):
1. Warm, light, easy-to-digest meals. 2. Millet-based rotis (ragi, jowar, bajra), green moong dal, leafy greens. 3. Cow’s ghee (½ tsp daily). 4. Black sesame seeds + jaggery (for fertility & strength). 5. Fruits – pomegranate, apple, papaya (before conception only).
Apathya (Avoid):
1. Refined flour, bakery, fried & packaged foods. 2. Excess dairy (paneer, cheese, curd at night). 3. Cold drinks, excess tea/coffee. 4. Daytime sleep. 5. Late-night heavy meals.

Managing PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder) with a holistic approach can be quite effective, and Ayurveda offers a comprehensive strategy tailored to your unique constitution. First off, let’s address the hormonal imbalance causing irregular ovulation. Balancing your hormones involves harmonizing the three doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. For most women with PCOD, an imbalance leaning towards Kapha dominant disorder is quite common.
Start by incorporating a Kapha-pacifying diet. Focus on fresh, light, and warm foods while minimizing cold, heavy, and oily dishes. Favor spices like turmeric, ginger, cumin and cinnamon, which can ignite digestive ‘agni’ and enhance metabolism. Drink warm water throughout the day to aid in toxin removal and encourage hormonal equilibrium.
Consider herbs such as Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) for regulating menstruation, Ashwagandha to manage stress levels, and Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) to support immunity and overall vitality. Consult with a certified Ayurvedic practitioner before using these herbs, given your past conception challenges.
Weight management involves regular physical activity. Engage in moderate exercises like brisk walking, yoga, or swimming for at least 30 minutes daily to balance Kapha and support healthy weight. Mindful practices such as Pranayama and meditation can be effective in reducing stress—a critical aspect of managing PCOD.
Hair loss, related to hormonal imbalance, can possibly improve with scalp massages using Bhringraj or coconut oil, mixed with a few drops of rosemary essential oil, to enhance circulation and nourish hair follicles.
Regular detoxification procedures, such as Panchakarma, might be hugely beneficial, yet they should be done under the guidance of an experienced Ayurvedic professional. Lastly, ensure you are properly monitored by your healthcare provider, particularly concerning your fertility and possibility of conceiving, ensuring both a holistic and medical approach is maintained together.

PCOD, or Polycystic Ovary Disorder, involves an imbalance that affects your body’s natural processes. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, this can often be related to an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas, contributing to irregularities in metabolism and hormone production. To manage and potentially alleviate the symptoms, consider the following integrated approach tailored to balance your doshas and improve your overall well-being.
Firstly, focusing on diet is crucial. Consuming a balanced diet rich in fiber and low in refined sugars can help regulate insulin levels and maintain weight. Include grains like millet and brown rice, fresh fruits, leafy greens, and lentils. Spices like turmeric, fenugreek, and cinnamon can also be beneficial due to their anti-inflammatory properties.
Incorporate daily practices of yoga and pranayama tailored for balancing hormones and reducing stress. Poses like Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose) can positively influence reproductive health.
Herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha are traditionally used in Ayurveda to support reproductive health and manage stress. However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified practitioner for personalized dosages.
Improving digestion by enhancing “agni” or digestive fire can also be helpful. Start by drinking warm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice in the morning.
Ensure adequate rest and establish a routine sleep schedule to support the body’s natural rhythms. Avoid stimulants such as caffeine before bed and aim to have dinner at least three hours before sleeping.
Regular check-ups with a healthcare professional specializing in women’s health are vital to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. If you have any acute symptoms or concerns, don’t hesitate to seek immediate medical support.
