Ayurvedic Treatment for PCOS/PCOD

Ayurveda treatment for PCOS/PCOD classifies as a Kapha disorder. All three doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha play important and distinctive roles in the processes behind the female reproductions which includes the ovarian cycle and the menstrual cycle. PCOS/PCOD is due to the Kapha blocking Vata and Pitta, hence movement is obstructed and the transformation process is suppressed. Kapha having first affected the digestive fire, jatharaagni starts to affect the metabolic aspect of the seven tissues of dhatuagni. Each dhatuagni is responsible for the nourishment and formation of that particular tissue. In the case of PCOS/PCOD the dhatus that are affected are rasa dhatu, lymph and plasma, medadhatu, the adipose tissue and artavadhatu, the female reproductive system.

The suppressed transformation of ovarian cycle causes irregular periods, excessive hair growth, weight gain, and hormonal imbalance. However, all three doshas show different symptoms in different women and it is important to narrow down the root cause for your PCOS/PCOD. Ayurveda treatment for PCOS/PCOD is to rectify this problem using different methods and lifestyle changes.
