Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) in Ayurveda
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a hormonal disorder where ovaries produce immature eggs, leading to multiple cysts. It disrupts menstrual cycles, fertility, metabolism, and overall health. In Ayurveda, PCOD is primarily caused by Kapha-Vata imbalance, leading to hormone disturbances, irregular ovulation, and toxin accumulation (Ama).
Signs & Symptoms of PCOD
⚠️ Irregular or missed periods (Oligomenorrhea/Amenorrhea)
⚠️ Weight gain & difficulty losing weight
⚠️ Unwanted facial & body hair (Hirsutism) due to excess androgens
⚠️ Oily skin & acne breakouts
⚠️ Hair thinning or scalp hair loss
⚠️ Insulin resistance & high blood sugar
⚠️ Difficulty conceiving (Infertility)
⚠️ Mood swings, anxiety, & depression
Dosha Involvement in PCOD
🔵 Kapha Dosha (Main Cause) – Leads to sluggish metabolism, obesity, insulin resistance, and cyst formation.
🟡 Vata Dosha (Irregular Cycles & Hormonal Imbalance) – Causes erratic ovulation, stress, and irregular periods.
🔥 Pitta Dosha (Inflammation & Hormonal Aggravation) – Causes acne, hair fall, and mood swings.
