PCOD Healer Kit
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age whose ovaries produce multiple eggs. Over time, those eggs become cysts on the ovaries. Many women undergo hormonal medication that causes unusual side effects. Also, too much consumption of insulin with high levels of the luteinizing hormone can also lead to increased production of the male hormone, which is known as testosterone, in women’s ovaries. This reduces the chances of conceiving and leads to infertility. A healthy lifestyle, natural therapies, as well as Ayurveda, can help you prevent such diseases.
Ayurvedic concept
In Ayurveda, PCOS is determined as a Kapha dosha disorder. Atharva dhatu is the tissue that is responsible for reproductive functions in the female body and the channel that carries the reproductive fluid is called atharvavaha strota. In PCOS, these strotas are blocked by over accumulation of Kapha dosha, and the natural flow of fluids is hampered. Thus, the metabolism is suppressed, movement is obstructed and PCOS symptoms are observed. The treatment for PCOS in Ayurveda focuses on the balance of doshas and rebooting the body in a completely natural way. The treatment includes Ayurvedic detoxification of the body, strengthening and revitalization of the female reproductive system, rectification of hormonal imbalance, and management of obesity and insulin resistance. Panchakarma serves as a first-line treatment for PCOS. It treats the root cause by eliminating toxins from the body and clearing the blocked channels. Ayurvedic treatment for PCOS proves to be more effective than modern medicine in terms of side effects and avoidance of any complications in the future.
