🌿 PCOD/PCOS का आयुर्वेदिक इलाज – Diet & Lifestyle Tips for Women’s Health

By Ayush Awasthi (BAMS Final Year Student)

🧬 What is PCOD/PCOS? (PCOD/PCOS kya hota hai?)

Aaj kal kaafi ladkiyon aur women ko ek common health issue face karna pad raha hai — PCOD ya PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Disease / Syndrome). Isme ovaries mein chhoti-chhoti cysts ban jaati hain aur hormones imbalance ho jaate hain.

🩺 Common symptoms include:

Irregular periods (अनियमित माहवारी)
Hair fall and facial hair (बाल झड़ना, चेहरे पर बाल आना)
Weight gain (वजन बढ़ना)
Acne and mood swings (मुंहासे और चिड़चिड़ापन)

🌱 My Personal Connection

Being a BAMS student, maine kaafi cases dekhe hain jahan PCOD se jujh rahi patients ne sirf lifestyle aur ayurvedic changes se bahut acha result paya.

Ek friend ki friend thi jiska period 3-4 mahine tak nahi aata tha.

Sirf Ayurvedic herbs + diet changes + yoga se within 2 months uska cycle regular ho gaya.

🌿 My Ayurvedic Perspective on PCOD/PCOS — Deep Dive into Natural Healing

As an Ayurvedic student and someone who grew up hearing family wellness chats, I believe PCOD/PCOS isn’t just about hormonal imbalance — it’s a systemic imbalance of Vata, Pitta, Kapha and menstrual fire (Ritu agni). From my experience, we can bring a strong balance by eating right, following daily routines, and using desi herbs.

🧾 Case Example: My Friend’s PCOD Journey

“My friend was diagnosed with PCOD at 24. Her periods were erratic, she experienced weight gain, hair fall, and mood swings. Normal allopathy advised pills, but I suggested she try Ayurveda responsibly alongside. We introduced a daily routine — warm jeera water in the morning, triphala at night, and Holud (turmeric) + methi seeds powder before meals. Within 3 months, her cramps reduced, weight stabilized, and her moods improved.”

This hands‑on experience shows Ayurveda complements standard care well when followed with consistency.

🥗 Daily Routine & Diet (Dinacharya)

Time	Practice
Early Morning	Warm water with lemon & honey or ginger
Breakfast	Oats porridge with flax seeds and almonds
Mid-morning	Giloy juice or tulsi-ginger tea
Lunch	Moong dal khichdi with vegetables & ghee
Afternoon	Fresh coconut water or papaya
Evening	Saunth-methi water or herbal tea
Dinner	Lauki or pumpkin curry with light roti
Bedtime	Triphala or fennel tea for digestion

🌿 Key Ayurvedic Herbs & Ingredients

Shatavari: Best for rebalancing female hormones
Ashoka bark: Supports regular menstrual cycles
Methi (Fenugreek) seeds: Controls insulin resistance
Turmeric + Black pepper: Anti-inflammatory and immune support

I personally blend Shatavari + Methi + Ashoka churna with warm water in the morning for 3 weeks per cycle and notice reduced bloating and clearer periods.

🧘 Mind‑Body Connection with Yoga & Breathwork

Setubandhasana (Bridge Pose) – Strengthens pelvic region
Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) – Opens ovarian area
Pranayama – Anulom‑Vilom & Bhramari – Reduces hormonal stress

This combination calms hormonal fluctuations and also supports mental stability.

🧘‍♀️ Ayurvedic Understanding of PCOS (Ayurveda mein PCOS ka kya matlab hai?)

Ayurveda ke according, PCOD is caused by imbalance in Kapha & Vata doshas.
Jab body mein toxin (ama) jama ho jaata hai, tab hormonal imbalance hota hai.

👉 Isliye treatment bhi holistic hota hai —
“Ahara (Diet), Vihara (Lifestyle), and Aushadhi (Herbs)”

🌸 One Small Habit That will help you the Most

One simple thing I’ve seen helping PCOD girls is walking barefoot on grass early morning.

I suggested this to two friends suffering from irregular periods — and surprisingly, within a few weeks, their stress levels dropped.

Grounding yourself with nature helps calm the nervous system and balance cortisol. Add this to your Ayurvedic routine, along with sunlight exposure for Vitamin D and 15 minutes of silence or journaling daily.

Trust me, small lifestyle changes like these do magic over time. Ayurveda isn’t only herbs — it’s a way of living naturally in sync with our body.

💬 Final Thoughts – Ayush Awasthi

Maine dekha hai ki modern lifestyle, stress aur processed food ne Indian women ko kaafi affect kiya hai.

But Ayurveda gives natural, long-lasting relief without side effects.

If you’re tired of hormonal pills or looking for natural PCOD treatment, Ayurveda can truly help.

👉 Thoda patience, thoda consistency, aur desi nuskhe = sustainable healing!
