HELLO HIMANSHI,
Your symptoms (irregular or no periods, facial hair, acne, hairfall, body pain, mood swings, depression) point strongly towards polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS/PCOD)
WHAT HAPPENS IN PCOS? -Your ovaries produce eggs, but they dont get release properly. Instead they form small cysts -The balance between female (estrogen, progesterone) and male hormones (testosterone) is disturbed-> this causes acne, facial hair, hairfall -Periods become irregular or stop completely -weight, metabolism and mood are also affected
AYURVEDIC VIEW -This is called Artava dushti (menstrual disturbance) due to kapha-vata imbalance. -Kapha (heaviness, sluggishness)-> cysts, obesity , acne -Vata (irregularity, dryness)-> irregular cycles, pain, mood swings -Ama (toxins from weak digestion)-> blocks channels, worsens hormones
TREATMENT GOALS -Restore periods (regular ovulation and menstrual cycle) -Balance hormones naturally (reduce male hormone effect-> less acne, facial hair, hairfall) -Shrink ovarian cysts and improve ovarian function -clear skin and improve hair health -reduce body pain, stress, and depression -prevent long term risks like diabetes, infertility , obesity thyroid issues

Your symptoms may suggest an imbalance that could potentially be associated with a condition like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which is known in Ayurveda as “Aartava Kshaya” - a disturbance in menstrual cycles and reproductive health. Vata and Kapha imbalance often play a significant role in these symptoms. To address this, it may be beneficial to focus on balancing these doshas.
Diet plays a crucial role in managing these symptoms. Consume warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Avoid raw, cold foods and heavy, oily, or processed fast foods. Incorporate more vegetables, especially green leafy ones, whole grains such as barley and quinoa, and spices like turmeric and ginger to help improve digestion and balance Kapha.
Herbal support can also be valuable. Consider including Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) for hormonal balance and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) to manage stress. While Triphala can be helpful for improving digestion and detoxification. Please ensure to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare provider to determine appropriate dosages and to ensure these are safe and suitable for you.
Lifestyle adjustments are equally important. Engage in moderate exercise like yoga or brisk walking to help manage weight and improve circulation. Stress management is key, so incorporating practices like meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) may be beneficial. Try to maintain a regular sleep schedule, reducing screen time before bed to promote restorative sleep.
For facial hair and acne, topically applying a paste made from turmeric and neem can be soothing. Hairfall can be addressed with oils such as Bhringraj or Amla.
Given the complexity and seriousness of your symptoms, consulting with a healthcare provider or trained Ayurvedic doctor is essential. They may suggest more specific herbs, panchakarma therapy, or other personalized interventions. Be mindful that any sudden changes or intense discomfort should be evaluated in-person by a medical professional urgently.
The symptoms you’re describing suggest an imbalance in your hormone levels, which can often be linked to an underlying condition such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In the framework of Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, this often corresponds to an imbalance of the doshas—particularly, an aggravation of Kapha and Vata. When these doshas are out of balance, disruptions to reproductive and metabolic functions occur, manifesting as the symptoms you’ve described.
First, addressing diet and lifestyle could help in balancing your doshas. A Kapha-pacifying diet is recommended, reducing intake of heavy, oily and sweet foods, focusing instead on lighter, warm, and spiced foods to stimulate digestion and metabolism. Incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and spices like turmeric and ginger.
Developing a regular physical routine can help balance your doshas, as exercise reduces Kapha and increases circulation, aiding in detoxification. Yoga, particularly poses that stimulate the abdominal region, are beneficial. Pranayama techniques like Nadi Shodhana can help balance the nadis and calm the mind.
Specific herbs can also be supportive. Ashwagandha can help manage stress and support hormonal balance, while Shatavari is particularly nourishing for the female reproductive system. However, consult a trained practitioner to ensure these are right for you.
For your hair fall and acne, applying a neem-based paste might be beneficial due to its natural antibacterial properties. Luke-warm oil massages with sesame oil can help manage Vata imbalances like body pain.
Given the seriousness of missed periods, a comprehensive assessment from a healthcare professional is crucial. Please do seek medical advice to rule out underlying conditions, which might require specific medical interventions. Remember, integrating Ayurveda and modern medicine can be a balanced approach.
