Hello Durriya, I can understand your concern regarding irregular periods, weight gain, facial hair, and dandruff this all suggest a hormonal imbalance similar to PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) in modern terms and Kapha-Vata dushti with Aama and hormonal disturbance (Artava dushti) in Ayurveda. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

✅ For Regular Periods & Hormone Balance

1 Kumaryasava – 15ml-0-15ml with equal water after food, twice daily.

2 Sukumaram Ks tab 2-0-2 after food (balances Vata & regulates cycle).

3 Rajahpravartini Vati – 1-0-1 after food

✅ For Weight Loss

Drink warm water with lemon + pinch of turmeric + honey every morning on empty stomach.

Take Triphala powder (1 tsp with warm water at bedtime) to detoxify body and improve digestion.

Include daily brisk walking or Surya Namaskar (5–10 rounds).

✅ For Facial Hair (Natural ways)

1. Apply paste of turmeric + gram flour + rose water on face 3–4 times a week.

2. Use spearmint tea daily (1 cup) – it reduces androgen levels naturally.

3. Avoid stress and junk food — both worsen hormonal imbalance.

✅ For Dandruff

Apply neem oil + coconut oil (2:1 ratio) on scalp twice a week. Wash hair with reetha–shikakai–amla herbal shampoo. You can also use Bhringraj oil at night for hair strengthening. Avoid oily, sticky hair products.

🥗 3. Diet Chart (Simple Hormone-Balancing Plan)

✅ Include:

Warm water with lemon & honey empty stomach Fresh fruits (papaya, pomegranate, apple) Buttermilk with jeera Herbal tea (ginger, tulsi) Soaked fenugreek seeds (methi) overnight – chew in morning Green leafy veggies Light dinner before 8 pm

❌ Avoid

Milk, cheese, curd, ice cream (increase Kapha) Junk, fried, and sugary foods Cold drinks & white flour products Late-night sleeping

✅LIFESTYLE AND YOGA

Sleep by 10 PM, wake up early. Daily 30–40 minutes exercise — brisk walk, cycling, or yoga. Practice Baddha Konasana, Bhujangasana, and Malasana — excellent for balancing female hormones. Avoid stress — meditation and deep breathing help regulate periods.

Try to maintain fixed sleeping and eating timings. Hormonal balance depends on regular daily routine (Dinacharya).

Within 2–3 months, you’ll see improvement in periods, energy, and skin/hair condition.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Irregular periods, weight gain, facial hair, and dandruff at your age could be related to an imbalance in your body’s hormones, which Ayurveda associates with disturbances in the balance of doshas. Specifically, Kapha and Pitta imbalances might be at play here. Addressing these requires a comprehensive approach focusing on diet, lifestyle and specific herbal suggestions.

For weight loss, and balancing hormones, focus on light and easily digestible foods. Incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes into your meals. Avoid processed and sugary foods as these can exacerbate weight gain and hormone disruption. Consume warm water instead of cold, as it helps balance Vata and Kapha doshas. Exercise is key; engage in physical activity such as brisk walking or yoga for at least 30 minutes daily, as this boosts metabolism and aids weight balance.

To manage facial hair, there are natural remedies, though they may require consistency and patience. Applying a paste made of turmeric and chickpea flour on your face may reduce hair growth gradually. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes before washing off. Regular intake of spearmint tea, once or twice daily, might also help in balancing hormones.

Dandruff often arises from an imbalance in Pitta and Vata. So, regularly apply warm coconut oil or sesame oil to your scalp, and a gentle Ayurvedic shampoo will help. Use a hair mask made from yogurt and neem powder and rinse it after 30 minutes. It is effective in fighting dandruff naturally.

Finally, consider including herbs like Triphala in your regimen to boost digestion and help regulate your menstrual cycle. ‘Ashokarishta’ can be beneficial for your menstrual concerns too. It is always good to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider to ensure these suggestions are suitable for your specific condition.

HELLO DURIYA,

PCOD means that your ovaries are not working normally. Instead of releasing one healthy egg every month, your ovaries are producing many small immature eggs that stay inside and form small fluid- filled sacs or cysts

Think of your body as a system of hormones that must stay in balance.

IN PCOD -the body makes too many male hormones which women also have in small amounts - this stops ovulation, causing irregular or no periods -it also affect insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar. If insulin is not working properly(insulin resistance), it makes the body gain weight and worsens pcod.

In Ayurveda, PCOD is caused by an imbalance in the kapha and vata doshas, leading to -ama(toxins) blocking the channels in your ovaries -slow metabolism(poor digestion- weak agni) - hormonal irregularities - stress(aggravates vata) adding to iiregularity

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) M2 TONE SYRUP(by charak)= 2 tsp twice daily after meals = helps ovaries work better, bring back your periods regularly

2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU( baidyanth/ AVP)= 2 tabs twice dailyafter meals with warm water = melts small cysts in your ovaries, supports thyroid and weight loss

3) ASHOKARISHTA(baidyanth/dabur)= 2 tsp with equal water twice daily after meals = regulates periods, reduces heavy bleeding and pain, supports uterus

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime = clears toxins from your body and improves digestion

5) EVECARE CAPSULES(by himalaya)= 1 cap twice daily after meals =balances hormones, improves ovarian function, regularises periods

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 FACIAL HAIR REMEDIES 1) TURMERIC AND CHICKPEA FLOUR UBTA(weekly thrice) -2tbsp besan -1/2 tsp turmeric -1 tsp sandalwood powder -rose water or raw milk (to make paste) HOW TO USE -Apply a thin layer on face -let it semi-dry, then scrub gently in circular motion (opposite direction of hair) -wash off with lukewarm water =helps weaken hair roots and reduce regrowth over time 2) THANAKA POWDER OR KUSUMA OIL This is proven traditional treatment -mix 1 tsp Thanaka powder with a few drops of Kusuma oil -apply on the face daily at night -leave overnight and wash in morning =after 8-12 weeks , you will report significant reduction in hair thickness 3) SUGAR, LEMON AND HONEY SCRUB (twice weekly) -Natural bleaching + exfoliation -1 tbsp sugar -1 tbsp lemon juice - 1 tsp honey =rub gently on face for 10 minutes before washing

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
