How Ayurveda Helps in Managing PCOS Naturally
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition that many women are living with today, often without their knowledge. Irregular listings, unexplained weight gain, excessive facial hair, acne, mood swings, and difficulty conceiving are all signs of PCOS.
Modern medicine normally uses pills or hormone therapy to treat PCOS symptoms, whereas, Maitri Ayurveda aims at treating the cause of the problem. Find out how Ayurvedic Treatment of PCOS in Madhapur at Maitri Ayurveda can assist you to treat PCOS naturally, safely and effectively.
Understanding PCOS in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, PCOS is seen as a hormonal imbalance involving Kapha dosha, often combined with Vata or Pitta disturbances. It’s believed to be caused by poor digestion (Agni), toxin build-up (Ama), and lifestyle imbalances that affect the reproductive system.
Instead of only treating ovaries or hormones, Ayurveda focuses on balancing the whole body through:
- Detox (cleansing the system)
- Correcting digestion
- Managing weight
- Calming the mind
- Supporting reproductive health
1. Detoxification (Panchakarma)
Ayurveda often starts with detoxification therapies to clear away toxins and prime the body for healing.
- Virechana (therapeutic purgation) helps expel Pitta and enhance metabolism
- Basti (medicated enema) works to balance Vata and enhance reproductive health
- Udwartana (herbal powder massage) is useful for reducing excess fat and Kapha
These therapies are done with the observation of professionals and provided with the intention to always be personalized for each individual.
2. Herbal Medicines
Ayurveda uses safe natural herbs to help with regulation of hormones, ovulation support, and insulin resistance. Some of the most common herbs are:
- Shatavari – hormonal balance and reproductive capacity
- Ashoka – regulating cycles and uterine health
- Guduchi (Giloy) – immunity and metabolic health
- Triphala – detoxification and digestive health
- Lodhra – firing inflammation and acne
When we place herbs together, it varies in relation to each persons dosha and symptoms.
3. Diet and Lifestyle Changes
- You are what you eat – and when it comes to PCOS, food will play a huge part in helping you heal.
- Eat fresh, cooked, warm food.
- Avoid cold, oily, sugary, and processed food, when possible
- As for food, eat plenty of vegetables, whole grain, lentils (ganja), and herbal/green tea
- Try turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, and cumin for good metabolism
- We always want you to eat at regular meal times, and try to avoid night-time eating.
Also, stay active; gentle yoga, walking, deep breathing, and restorative yoga are good for hormone health!
4. Yoga & Stress Management
Stress is a hidden culprit in PCOS. It affects your hormones, sleep, and even digestion.
- Practice pranayama (breathing exercises) like Anulom-Vilom or Bhramari
- Try relaxing yoga asanas like Butterfly pose, Child’s pose, and Cat-Cow
- Ensure 7–8 hours of quality sleep every night
- Take time to slow down, rest, and reconnect with your body
Healing takes time, and your body responds best when it feels safe and supported.
