hello zara,
I understand how stressful and overwhelming this must feel for you. Dealing with PCOS, weight gain, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, hair and skin issues, and vitamin deficiencies together can feel like your body is working against you. Essentially, your body is in a state of hormonal and metabolic imbalance, which is causing irregular periods, insulin resistance, and inflammation. The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, regulate periods, improve nutrient levels, support fertility, and restore energy.
Step 1: Ama Pachana (Detox & Digestion Support – 3–5 days) Triphala Churna – 5 g at night with warm water. Improves digestion and detoxifies. Trikatu Churna – 1 g with warm water, twice daily. Helps reduce Kapha and Ama (metabolic toxins).
Step 2: Internal Medicines (Hormonal Balance & Fertility Support) Shatavari Churna / Tablet – 3–5 g with warm milk daily. Supports ovarian function, fertility, and lactation. Kachnaar Guggul – 2 tablets twice daily after meals. Reduces excess androgen, helps regulate periods, and supports weight management. Ashwagandha Churna / Tablet – 500 mg at night with warm milk. Reduces stress, improves sleep, and supports energy. Guduchi Churna / Tablet – 500 mg twice daily with warm water. Reduces systemic inflammation and boosts immunity. Step 3: External Therapy (Optional but Helpful) Abhyanga with Mahanarayan Oil – Daily or 3–4 times a week. Improves circulation, reduces stress, and supports metabolic health.
Dietary Suggestions
Include high-fiber foods: leafy greens, legumes, whole grains. Include protein: paneer, eggs, nuts, seeds, lentils. Avoid refined sugars, deep-fried foods, processed carbs, and excess dairy. Include anti-inflammatory foods: turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, garlic. Drink plenty of warm water to support detoxification.
Investigations (Recommended)
Hormonal profile: LH, FSH, Testosterone, DHEAS, Prolactin Vitamin D and B12 levels (repeat as needed) HbA1c / Fasting insulin for metabolic assessment Ultrasound pelvis for ovarian morphology
Lifestyle & Supportive Measures
Yoga / Exercise: brisk walking, HIIT 20–30 min daily, yoga asanas like Surya Namaskar, Bhujangasana, Dhanurasana, Setu Bandhasana. Sleep hygiene: aim for 7–8 hours; avoid screens before bed. Stress management: meditation, breathing exercises, journaling.
If you follow this treatment consistently for 3–6 months, you should see:
Reduction in inflammation and facial hair Regularization of periods Weight loss and improved energy Improved fertility chances
Remember, consistency is key, and combining Ayurvedic medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes will give the best results.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

According to Ayurveda, high inflammation and PCOS are often linked to an imbalance of the doshas, primarily Vata and Kapha. The goal is to restore this balance, which can help regulate hormones, manage weight, and improve fertility. The symptoms you describe—weight gain, facial hair, hair fall, low energy, and insomnia—are often seen as manifestations of this imbalance.
Understanding the Ayurvedic Perspective PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): In Ayurveda, PCOS is often viewed as a Kapha-Vata imbalance. Kapha is related to the accumulation of ama (toxins), leading to weight gain and cyst formation. Vata governs the nervous system and hormonal balance, and its imbalance can cause irregular periods and anxiety.
Inflammation: This is often attributed to an excess of Pitta dosha, which governs metabolism and digestion. However, it can also be a result of ama (toxins) accumulation, which obstructs the body’s channels and triggers an inflammatory response.
Ayurvedic Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations Diet (Ahar) 🥑 Prioritize a Kapha-Pacifying Diet: Focus on foods that are light, warm, and easy to digest.
Incorporate: Leafy greens, bitter vegetables like bitter gourd, and light grains like millets and quinoa.
Reduce: Cold, heavy, oily, and processed foods, as well as dairy products (especially yogurt and cheese), red meat, and sugary drinks, which can increase Kapha and inflammation.
Spices: Use spices like turmeric (a potent anti-inflammatory), ginger, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon to aid digestion and boost metabolism.
Lifestyle (Vihar) 🧘♀️ Exercise: Regular physical activity, especially yoga, can help balance Kapha, improve circulation, and reduce weight. Focus on poses that stimulate the abdominal area and reproductive organs.
Recommended Yoga Poses: Sun Salutations, Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), and Dhanurasana (Bow Pose).
Sleep: Establish a regular sleep schedule. Aim to go to bed before 10 PM and wake up with the sunrise. Insomnia is a Vata imbalance, and a consistent routine can help.
Stress Management: High stress levels can disrupt hormonal balance. Incorporate meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana), and mindfulness into your daily routine.
Addressing Specific Concerns Weight Loss: The Kapha-pacifying diet and regular exercise are key. The goal is to improve metabolism (Agni) and reduce the accumulation of ama.
Regular Periods: A balanced diet, stress reduction, and specific herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha can help regulate the menstrual cycle.
Fertility: When the doshas are in balance, and the body’s systems are functioning optimally, fertility naturally improves. The lifestyle changes and herbs mentioned above are aimed at creating a healthy environment for conception.
Vitamin D & B12: While Ayurveda focuses on the root cause, you should also address these deficiencies through diet and sun exposure.
Vitamin D: Spend 15-20 minutes in the morning sun. Include foods like mushrooms in your diet.
Vitamin B12: Incorporate fermented foods and consider supplements under medical supervision, as B12 is not readily available in most plant-based food
1) Shatavari Leha-1tsf- before food with warm milk 2 times
2) Pushyanuga Churna-2gm + Laghumalini Vasant Rasa-500mg + Svarnamakshika Bhasma-100mg + Pravala pishti-100mg - before food with water 2 times
3) chandra prabha vati before food 2 times 4) ashokarishta 3 tsf after food 3 times

To tackle the inflammation in your body and manage PCOS, we’ll need to break it down into manageable steps, focusing on diet, lifestyle, and specific herbal aids. The first step is diet, a key cornerstone in Ayurveda, which emphasizes consuming whole, lightly cooked foods. As inflammation is commonly aggravated by excess Ama (toxins) and possibly aggravated Pitta dosha, begin with detoxifying meals like steamed greens, lentils, and khichdi, avoiding spicy, oily, or processed foods. Incorporate turmeric, ginger, and garlic about twice daily in your diet, as these are natural anti-inflamatory agents and can help regulate metabolism.
For PCOS, balancing your hormones involves nurturing a stable agni (digestive fire). Consider starting your day with a warm glass of lemon water, which helps cleanse and reset your digestive system. Avoid cold beverages and food as they can dampen your digestive fire further. When it comes to managing weight and hormone balance, ensuring regular meal timings is crucial, as irregular eating leads to imbalances in blood sugar levels, further complicating PCOS symptoms.
Under lifestyle adjustments, prioritize establishing a kaphagenic exercise routine, like brisk walking, yoga, or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. These activities aid in reducing Kapha accumulation, promoting weight management, and improving energy. Ensuring adequate sleep is critical when dealing with insomnia; try a routine, winding down at least 2 hours before bed. This may include reading or relaxation exercises like Pranayama.
Considering your low Vitamin D and B12 levels, ensure regular exposure to morning sunlight for 15 minutes daily. Include B12-rich foods like eggs, dairy, and fortified cereals, and you might require supplements after consulting a healthcare provider. Turn to ayurvedc herbs such as Shatavari and Ashwagandha, which have been traditionaly used for balancing hormones and reducing stress. Take 1-2 teaspoons of Shatavari powder with warm milk once daily if PCOS symptoms persist.
Be aware that these recommendatons should be integrated gradually and consistently overtime for their full benefits. If pregnancy is an immediate goal, consult a healthcare professinal to incorporate Ayurveda safely alongside their guidance.
Hello zara Any prescription we will give your body will not react to it as it should. I advice to take VAMAN karma by professional panchakarma practitioner You will see the results definitely After that start with Gomutra haritaki 2HS Phala ghrita 20ml OD with warm water And nose drops of anu tail 2 drops in each nostril empty stomach early morning.
Having high inflammation and PCOS can be challenging, but with a few tailored Siddha-Ayurvedic strategies, you might find some relief and balance. PCOS often involves an imbalance of the doshas, particularly kapha which can lead to weight gain and symptoms you mentioned. Here are some steps to consider:
First, diet modifications can be crucial. Emphasize foods that pacify kapha, like warm cooked foods, with spices like turmeric, ginger, cumin, and black pepper which help in reducing inflammation. Avoid heavy, oily, or excessively sweet foods which can increase kapha and inflammation.
Next, consider herbal remedies that are renowned in Siddha-Ayurveda for managing PCOS symptoms. Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Guduchi are known to assist in balancing hormones and reducing inflammation. Coordinate with a practitioner to determine specific doses suitable for your unique constitution.
Exercise is vital. Regular, moderate physical activity helps in reducing kapha and aids weight loss. Daily yoga or brisk walking for about 30 minutes could improve your energy levels and support better sleep patterns.
For the low Vitamin D and B12, supplementation might be necessary, but obtain these through a healthcare provider familiar with Siddha approaches to integrate them with your current routine. Sunshine exposure for Vitamin D can also be beneficial.
Manage stress effectively through meditation and mindfulness exercises, as stress can exacerbate hormonal imbalances.
If you’re experiencing significant health changes or considering pregnancy, it’s important to work closely with a healthcare professional to monitor your health and customize a plan that considers all factors. Balancing hormones and reducing inflammation takes time, but these steps provide a holistic framework to potentially support those changes.
