Just do one sitting of panchakarma For PCOD vaman therapy is the best Start with Phala ghrita cap. 1BD A F Satavari granules 2tsf with warm water AF By Dr Akshay negi MD PANCHAKARMA
HELLO PRIYA,
In PCOD, the ovaries make small fluid-filled sacs (cysts). These cysts disturb the release of eggs and cause hormonal imbalance. This imbalance leads to -irregular periods - sometimes delayed, sometimes heavy -hairfall/ hair thinning -weight issues- some gain too much, some don’t gain at all -pimples, oily skin -mood swings, stress, poor sleep
In Ayurveda, this is mainly due to kapha imbalance (blockages, cysts, sluggish metabolism), Vata disturbance (irregular cycles, pain, stress), and Pitta disturbance (heavy bleeding, hair thinning, skin issues). Weak digestion (Agni) and accumulation of toxins (ama) make it worse.
TREATMENT GOALS -Clear the root cause= improve digestion and remove toxins -Balance hormones naturally= by correcting kapha-vata-pitta -Regulate menstrual cycles= make periods more regular and reduce excess flow -Nourish reproductive system -support hair and skin health -reduce stress and improve sleep -improve strength and healthy weight
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =reduces cysts, balances kapha, clears blockages
2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =regulates heavy bleeding, strengthens uterus
3) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =balances vata, reduces pain and weakness
4) SHATAVARI CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily with warm milk for 3 months =balances hormones, nourishes uterus, supports fertility and weight gain
5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =improves digestion, clears toxins, mild detox
6) BHRINGARAJ + AMALAKI= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily for 3 months =prevents hairfall, improves blood and skin health
LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Sleep= try to fix sleep even in night shift- use blackout curtains, avoid mobile before bed, drink warm milk or chamomile tea -Stress= daily meditation/journaling/chanting-> reduces cortisol which disturbs hormones -Physical activity= walking + yoga more helpful than intense gym workouts in PCOD
YOGA ASANAS -baddha konasana = improves blood flow to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates reproductive organs -Setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and hormones -Surya Namaskar= slow 6-12 rounds daily
PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata and pitta -Bhramari= calms stress, improves sleep -Kapalbhati= improves metabolism
DIET -Grains= barley, red rice, oats, whole wheat -Vegetables= bitter gourd, drum stick, bottle gourd, spinach, methi, broccoli -Fruits= papaya (helps periods), pomegranate , apple, guava -Nuts and seeds= soaked almonds, walnuts, pumpkin, seeds , flaxseeds -Proteins= moong dal, horse gram, lentils -Good fats= cow’s ghee, sesame oil in moderation
AVOID -excess sweets, bakery foods, fried and junk foods -cold drinks, ice creams -curd at night -packaged and processed food -excess tea/coffee
HOME REMEDIES 1) Fenugreek seeds= soak 1 tsp overnight, chew in morning-> improves insulin sensitivity and periods 2) Cinnamon tea= helps regulate cycles. 3) Aloe vera juice= 15ml empty stomach-> balances hormones, improves digestion 4) Flaxseed powder= 1 tsp daily in warm water-> balances oestrogen levels 5) Sesame seeds + jaggery= during winter-> supports periods and healthy weight
PCOD is not a permenent disease- with proper diet, lifestyle, Ayurvedic medicines, yoga and stress control, cycles can become regular, hairfall will reduce, and healthy weight can be gained.
The key is patience + consistency for at least 3-6 months -Avoid quick fixes (like crash diets or random hormonal pills without need) -With Ayurveda, the aim is not just to treat symtpoms but to restore balance from the root.
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Addressing hormonal imbalances, hair thinning, weight management, and irregular periods in Ayurveda involves a multilayered approach. For hormonal balance, the aim is to correct any dosha imbalances, specifically targeting the Kapha and Vata doshas that could be disturbed due to stress, improper sleep, and dietary habits. Ashwagandha is a beneficial herb for managing stress and promoting hormonal balance. You can take it in powder form, about 1 teaspoon mixed with warm milk before bed.
For managing irregular periods and heavy flow, Shatavari might be beneficial. Its known for supporting female reproductive health and can help in normalizing menstrual cycle. Take it in capsule or powder form, once or twice daily—consultation with a practitioner is suggested for precise dosage.
Considering hair thinning, Bhringraj oil is highly recommended. You can apply this oil directly to the scalp and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing your hair. It’s also helpful to incorporate Triphala into your diet, aiding digestion and detoxification processes, thus promoting healthy hair growth.
To promote weight gain, address digestive fire (Agni). You might start with jeera (cumin) water to enhance appetite: boil a teaspoon of cumin seeds in water and drink it before meals. Incorporate healthy fats like ghee into your diet — a spoonful melted over hot food can help improve weight naturally.
As stress and lack of proper sleep contribute significantly to these issues, you could adopt Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) for its calming qualities and support overall neurological health, which can be useful for those with night shifts. Dosage of brahmi can be in the form of juice, powder, or capsule depending on your preference, typically taken in the morning.
Shifting your meal schedule to align with your night shift can prevent additional stress on your digestive system — aim for a nutritious breakfast before shifting to lighter meals as the day progresses to manage your energy and stress levels effectively. Additionally, practice yoga nidra or guided meditation to improve your sleep pattern, particularly tailored for irregular sleep schedules. Remember to verify compatability of these supplements with your ongoing medications or conditions with a health professional.
Addressing hormonal issues, such as those arising from PCOD, along with related symptoms like irregular periods, hair thinning, and difficulty gaining weight, requires a comprehensive approach in the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition. First, let’s consider your dosha imbalances, with Kapha and Vata likely predominant given the symptoms you’ve described.
Begin with dietary adjustments to stabilize agni (digestive fire) and balance your doshas. Include warm, nourishing foods like cooked vegetables, whole grains like brown rice, and proteins such as lentils or moong dal. Avoid excessively spicy, oily, and processed foods which might further imbalance your doshas. Regular meals times are important, even with night shifts—try to maintain as consistent a schedule as possible.
For hormonal balance, herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha can be beneficial. Shatavari is traditionally used to support reproductive health, and Ashwagandha helps reduce stress and support strength. Consult a qualified practitioner for personalized formulations.
Since stress and lack of proper sleep are involved, consider adopting a calming evening routine with practices like Abhyanga (self-massage with warm oil, focusing on the scalp and body) before bed to promote relaxation. Brahmi oil can be particularly soothing for Vata imbalances.
Yoga and pranayama can aid in reducing stress and improving overall circulation, which might also help with hair thinning. Gentle exercises like Surya Namaskar, combined with breath-focused pranayama, can support your body’s rhythm and digestion.
Regarding sleep difficulties, given your night shift, try creating a restful environment even during daylight hours using light-blocking curtains, and maintain a consistent sleep-wake routine. Consuming a warm, herbal tea, such as chamomile, an hour before sleeping can also aid relaxation.
These practices may not replace conventional treatments in life-threatening situations, but they offer supportive ways to manage your symptoms and improve overall health. Always seek professional medical advice, particularly if symptoms intensify or become concerning.
