Hello Vaishnavi Thank you for sharing your detailed concerns. I completely understand that managing PCOS, delayed periods, excessive hair fall, and hormonal imbalance can be both distressing and frustrating but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PROTOCOL
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
1 Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food (Helps shrink ovarian cysts, reduces Kapha–Meda accumulation, balances thyroid and hormonal levels.)
2 Shatavari kalpa – 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily ( Nourishes female reproductive tissues, supports ovulation, and regularizes periods.)
3 Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal warm water twice daily after food ( Regulates menstrual cycle, tones uterus, relieves lower abdominal pain and hormonal imbalance.)
4 Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals ( Acts on the endocrine and urinary systems; balances insulin and improves metabolism.)
✅SHODHANA CHIKITSA (Detoxification Phase)
If feasible, under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician, the following Panchakarma therapies are highly beneficial:
Udvartana (herbal powder massage) – helps reduce insulin resistance, removes Kapha and Meda.
Virechana (therapeutic purgation) – detoxifies Pitta and hormonal channels.
Basti (medicated enema) – balances Vata, promotes ovulation, and regulates menstruation.
✅ HOME REMEDIES
👉 Fenugreek (Methi) seeds – Soak 1 tsp overnight and consume in the morning. ( Helps improve insulin sensitivity and ovarian function.)
👉 Flax seeds (Alsi) – 1 tsp powder daily. ( Rich in lignans that regulate estrogen and testosterone levels.)
👉 Aloe vera juice – 1 tbsp fresh juice before breakfast. (Helps balance female hormones and support ovulation.)
👉 Cumin–Coriander–Fennel (CCF) tea – Sip warm through the day. ( Enhances digestion and clears toxins.)
✅ DIET MODIFICATION
✅ Include Warm, freshly cooked, light meals Green leafy vegetables, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin Millets like jowar, bajra, and ragi instead of refined flour Moong dal soup, vegetable soups, and buttermilk Turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper for metabolism Warm water throughout the day
❌Avoid
Fried, oily, and processed food Excess dairy and cheese White sugar, refined flour, and bakery items Cold drinks and ice cream Daytime sleep and late-night meals
✅ LIFESTYLE TIPS
Yoga Asanas Practice daily for at least 30 minutes: Surya Namaskar, Baddha Konasana, Setu Bandhasana, Bhujangasana Pranayama- Anulom Vilom, Bhramari,Kapalabhati
✅ADDITIONAL TIPS
Maintain fixed meal and sleep timings. Sleep before 10:30 PM and wake up early. Engage in regular physical activity or brisk walking. Avoid mental stress — practice meditation or chanting for emotional balance.
✅ Regarding Hormone Tablets
You may use hormone tablets temporarily if prescribed by your gynecologist to induce menses — however, Ayurveda aims to correct the root imbalance, not just trigger bleeding.
Hormone tablets may provide short-term relief but can suppress natural ovarian activity if used for long. Ayurvedic management restores your body’s own hormonal rhythm, ensuring that periods become regular naturally and fertility potential improves.
With consistent Ayurvedic care and patience, your cycle will gradually regularize, and hormonal harmony will return.
Wishing you a good health😊
Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate
Don’t worry take care arogya vardini vati 1tab bd, Trivikramra ras 1tab bd, hyponidd 1tab bd, varanadhi kashayam 20ml bd, Kanchanara Guggulu 1tab bd enough
HELLO VAISHNAVI, Hormone tablets may induce bleeding and give temporary relief but they do not correct the underlying cause of the condition,hence your problem occurs again and again once you stop taking hormonal pills.
On the other hand, the following treatment plan works on the root level and actually benefits the body. Considering your history, I recommend the following treatment plan for you- Treatment - 1. Raj pravartini vati 2-0-2 after meal 2. Ashokaristha 15ml with 15 ml water twice a day after meal 3. Haridra capsules 1-0-1 after meal 4. Nisha amalaki tablet 1-0-1 before meals
Diet- .Increase intake of turmeric, garlic,amla. .Avoid maida, oily food,junk food .Avoid icecream, colddrink,fast food, oily food especially during periods. .Eat fruits,dry fruits,milk instead of snacking on packaged items
Yoga- Anulom vilom,dhanurasan,malasan
Lifestyle modification - Stress management -Through meditation, walking, journaling,foot massage etc Atleast 30 minutes walking after dinner. Weight management through walking,dancing,cycling. Take atleast 7 hours of sound sleep. Keeping record of date and duration of menses for further evaluation. Follow these and you will definitely get results. Don’t hesitate to reach out for any further query. FOLLOW UP AFTER 1 MONTH. Take care Regards, Dr.Anupriya
HELLO,
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 -increase testosterone , insulin fasting increase
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

6) BHRINGARAJ + AMALAKI= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily for 3 months =prevents hairfall, improves blood and skin health
6) NISHAAMALAKI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before meals = control insulin level
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

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.
STRICTLY AVOID HORMONAL TABLETS- NOT ADVISABLE DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU
