Get Ayurvedic Treatment For PCOS

Did you know… that Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is arguably the most common disorder among women, noted in around 70 % of the women facing difficulty in ovulation? In this condition, there is the development of cysts on the ovaries leading to dysfunction of the ovaries and increasing the chances of subfertility.

What are the common symptoms of PCOS?

Common symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom are:

1. Infrequent menstruation 
2. Irregular bleeding
3. Increase in the level of male hormones
4. Hair thinning 
5. Excess facial and body hair growth 
6. Development of acne 
7. Skin gets Oily 
8. Pain in the pelvic section  
9. Weight gain 
10. High BP

What are the reasons for Fertility issues among women suffering from PCOS?

Research suggests that women suffering from PCOS face fertility issues due to an imbalance in hormones, glucose and insulin levels, either of which can lead towards infertility due to interference in the implantation as well as the development of the embryo. Additionally, abnormality in insulin levels can also hamper the development of the egg, as a result making the process of conception even more complicated.

How does Ayurveda diagnose PCOS?

According to Ayurveda, PCOS can be correlated to Aartava Kshaya, which is described as deficiency and loss of Aartava, a dhaatu that can be compared to the ovum, menstruation and menstrual fluid or blood, or delay in Aartava.

This disorder is the result of an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, along with the issue in the shukra dhatu. The predominance of Kapha doshas alongside imbalance in the dhatus and updhatus manifests as the key symptoms of PCOS such as subfertility, weight gain, and painful menstrual cycles. Likewise, the predominance of Pitta dosha manifests as hair loss, development of acne and oily skin as well as severe irregularity in the menstrual cycle. Basis pathology of the condition, it has been noted that obstruction in the pelvic cavity leading to disorder in the vatta flow, causes aggrevation of Kapha and Pitta doshas. 

What does an effective ayurvedic treatment for PCOS include?

An effective ayurvedic treatment for PCOS usually includes herbs that reduce Kapha, enhance insulin production, normalise the hormones and metabolism and regulate the menstrual cycle. 

What are some common ayurvedic herbs and medicines for PCOS treatment?

Some common herbs used in ayurvedic treatment of POCS are as follows: 

1. Triphala (a combination of  three different plants - Terminalia chebula (black myrobalan), Terminalia bellerica (bastard myrobalan), and Phyllantus emblica (emblic myrobalan or Indian gooseberry))
2. Kanchanar Guggulu
3. Krishna Jeeraka

A highly recommended ayurvedic therapy for the treatment of PCOS is Uttara Vasti. This is a special therapy focussing on the detox and rejuvenation of the reproductive and urinary systems. It helps in clearing the Aartava strotas and pacified vitiated apan vayu.
