Introduction:

In Ayurveda, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome/Disease (PCOS/PCOD) is termed Aartva Kshaya or Aartva Dushti, reflecting an imbalance in the Aartva Dhatu (female reproductive system) and Rasa Dhatu (digestive system). This perspective sheds light on a holistic approach to managing this condition, emphasizing lifestyle modifications and holistic treatments.

Ayurvedic Pathophysiology:

According to Ayurveda, PCOS/PCOD stems from disturbances in the primary stage of digestion, leading to Rasa Dhatu derangement and subsequent vitiation of Kapha and Vata dosha. This imbalance affects the Aartva Dhatu, manifesting as irregular and painful menstruation, weight gain, hair fall, among other symptoms. Contributing factors include lack of exercise, junk food consumption, faulty dietary and bowel habits, chronic stress, and inadequate sleep.

Management Strategies:

To address PCOS/PCOD, Ayurveda focuses on lifestyle modifications and correcting digestive imbalances. Adjusting daily routines can significantly alleviate symptoms. Ayurvedic treatments concentrate on enhancing the primary stage of digestion through herbal medicines, Panchakarma therapies, and dietary interventions.

Panchakarma, particularly Vamana (therapeutic vomiting), plays a pivotal role in PCOS/PCOD management. This detoxification procedure expels toxins (Doshas) from the body, restoring equilibrium to Kapha, Vata dosha, and Rasa Dhatu. By rectifying the Aartva Dhatu, Vamana effectively mitigates PCOS/PCOD symptoms.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Ayurveda offers a comprehensive approach to addressing PCOS/PCOD. By tackling the root cause through lifestyle adjustments, herbal remedies, and Panchakarma therapies, individuals can experience substantial relief and regain their vitality. Let us embrace Ayurvedic wisdom to nurture wellness and overcome PCOS/PCOD, fostering a healthier and mor vibrant future.
