HELLO KOMAL,

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) means your ovaries are producing more follicles (small fluid-filled sacs) but not realising eggs regularly. This happens because of hormonal imbalance (excess androgens, disturbed estrogen- progesterone balance, insulin resistance )

This leads to -Weight gain and difficulty losing weight (slow metabolism, insulin resistance) -Hairfall/ facial hair (due to excess male hormones) -Bloating, swelling before periods (hormonal water retention) -Painful or scanty bleeding (disturbed uterine lining)

In Ayurveda, PCOD is mainly a kapha-vata disorder with pitta involvement -Kapha aggravation= sluggish metabolism, cyst formation, obesity -Vata imbalance= irregular, painful, scanty periods -Pitta imbalance= hairfall, acne, mood swings

So the treatment is to -Balance kappha= reduce weight, cysts, bloating -Correct vata= regulate menstruation -Correct piita= reduce hairfall, acne, irritability -Restore agni for proper hormone function

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =shrinks ovarian cysts, reduce kapha

2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals for 3 months =regulates menstrual cycle, reduces pain

3) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 20 ml with water after meals for 3 months =reduces body pain, vata imbalance, swelling

4) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 3 months =hormonal balance, fertility support

5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with lukewarm water =detox, weight control, digestion

ALOEVERA JUICE + JEERA WAER (empty stomach)= daily improves metabolism, reduces bloating

METHI SEEDS soaked overnight = 1 tsp chewed in morning =reduces insulin resistance, helps weight loss

DIET PLAN

FOODS TO INCLUDE

1) WHOLE GRAINS -millets= foxtail, barnyard, kodo, little millet- regulate insulin and reduce fat -quinoa, amaranth, red/brown rice -rolled oats(not instant)

2) VEGETABLES -focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent food -bitter gourd, drumstick, methi -cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, ash gourd -avoid raw salads, cook lightly and digestive spices

3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries

4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week)

5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance

6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger

FOODS TO AVOID -cold and raw foods like smoothies, raws salads - sugar and white bread=causes weight gain and acne -fried or packaged foods= increases toxins -milk,panner,cheese= can make cysts worse -stress and late night= disrupts hormones

LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR DEEP HEALING

1) DAILY RHYTHM -wake up before 7 am= sets hormonal rhythm -hydration=warm water with lemon+pinch of turmeric or methi seeds water(soaked overnight) -meal timing= eat meals at regular intervals; no skipping -sleep= sleep by 10-10:30 pm to optimise melatonin and cortisol balance -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep

DETOX PRACTICES TO FOLLOW these helps removes toxins and reduce cyst formation -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water -CASTOR OIL=montly one 10 ml in milk at night -Self oil massage= sesame oil daily before shower -TAKRA- buttermilk spiced with cumin and ginger daily after lunch

YOGA AND MOVEMENT

BEST YOGA ASANAS -malasana= opens pelvic region -baddha konasana= improves circulation to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs -setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and pelvic hormones -suryanamskar= 5-7 rounds

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones, calms mind - bhramari= reduces anxiety and supports pitutary -kapalbhati= light version, support metabolism

MIND BODY CONNECTION PCOD is deeply linked with stress and emotional stagnation -practicue gratitude journaling, emotional release -engage in art, music, or nature therapy -reduce overthinking and over working- both aggravate vata

DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Addressing PCOD involves a detailed understanding of your body’s constitution and balancing doshas, primarily kapha and vata. For weight management and hair loss, it’s essential to make dietary and lifestyle changes. Begin with your diet. Favor light, easily digestible foods. Avoid processed, oily, and greasy items which can aggravate your condition. Incorporating more warm meals and spices like ginger and black pepper can help to enhance your digestive fire, or agni.

Include fibrous vegetables and fruits in your diet, which aids in managing weight and improves digestion. A cup of warm water with lemon on an empty stomach in the morning can support weight loss and detoxification. Stay away from cold drinks and heavy dairy products that might increase kapha.

Regular physical activity is critical. Engage in moderate-level exercise daily, such as yoga, brisk walking, or cycling, to boost metabolism and manage weight. Specific yoga poses like Balasana (Child’s Pose), Kapalabhati, and Surya Namaskar can help regulate hormones and relieve stress. Stress management is fundamental, as it often exacerbates PCOD symptoms, so mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing should be part of your routine.

For your hair, massage the scalp once or twice a week with Ayurvedic oils like Bhringraj or Amla oil, which stimulate hair growth and strengthen hair roots. Choose a gentle herbal shampoo to maintain scalp health.

To address less bleeding and painful menstruation issues, herbal formulations like Ashoka and Shatavari can be beneficial. They help in hormonal balance and improving menstrual health. Usually, they should be taken under supervision, so consult an Ayurvedic physician for specific dosages.

Hydration is vital, so drink adequate water throughout the day. Limit caffeine and increase herbal teas like fennel or cumin tea after meals, which helps in reducing bloating.

Constipating symptoms can often arise due to inadequate hydration and fiber in the diet, so maintaining these can tremendously help with bloating and general digestion. Lastly, monitor your symptoms regularly, and consult with a healthcare provider to ensure a comprehensive approach to your health balance.

Weight gain, hair loss, and irregular menstruation are common symptoms of PCOD which can be addressed by focusing on balancing the doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata, which often go imbalanced in PCOD cases. Incorporating a few Ayurvedic practices into your routine may help manage these symptoms.

Firstly, diet plays a significant role. Focus on consuming warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest, and avoid cold or raw food items. Include more fiber-rich vegetables like leafy greens, gourds and whole grains. Avoid excess sugar, refined flour, and processed foods which may aggravate Kapha. Also, incorporating spices such as turmeric, cumin and ginger can aid in stimulating agni (digestive fire) and reducing Kapha.

For hair loss, massaging the scalp with warm coconut or sesame oil can nourishes the hair follicles. This aids in improving blood circulation and strengthens the roots. Do this at least twice a week. To tackle bloating and swelling, a decoction of fennel and ajwain seeds can be consumed twice daily. Simply boil a teaspoon of each in two cups of water, reduce to a half, and drink it warm.

Regular physical activity like brisk walking or yoga can greatly alleviate Kapha and improve Vata balance. Practices like pranayama (breathing exercises) can also work wonders in regulating stress and improving hormonal balance. As for menstruation issues, having 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds with jaggery during the menstrual cycle can help regulate the bleeding and alleviate pain.

It is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to monitor your condition, especially if there are significant symptoms. Remember, Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach, so a combination of lifestyle, diet, and physical activities will provide the most benefit.
