Root-cause treatment for PCOS — cycle regulation without long-term hormonal medication
About PCOS / PCOD
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a common hormonal condition in women — irregular or absent periods, hyperandrogenism (acne, facial hair, hair thinning), weight gain, and often insulin resistance. Ultrasound may show polycystic ovaries, though this alone is not diagnostic.
Common symptoms we see:
The conventional approach
Conventional treatment typically prescribes hormonal contraceptives (Diane-35) to regulate cycles, metformin for insulin resistance, and fertility drugs when trying to conceive. These manage symptoms during use but do not address the underlying metabolic and hormonal imbalance — most patients find irregular cycles return when medications are stopped.
The Ayurvedic view
Ayurveda understands PCOS as a disorder of Artava Dhatu (reproductive tissue) and Artava Vaha Srotas (the channels carrying menstrual flow). The root causes include Kapha dominance (creating the cystic pattern and weight gain), aggravated Pitta (driving hyperandrogenism, acne), and Medha Dhatu (fat tissue) dysfunction contributing to insulin resistance. Stress and lifestyle are significant aggravators.
Our treatment protocol for PCOS / PCOD
Our doctors identify your specific PCOS pattern — is it Kapha-dominant (weight, sluggish cycle), Pitta-dominant (acne, facial hair), or mixed? Treatment then combines classical formulations for cycle regulation and hormone balance, a metabolic-corrective diet, lifestyle adjustments (movement, stress, sleep), and — where warranted — Panchakarma therapies like Virechana and Udvartana.
Meet our Ayurvedic doctors. They review your full history, existing reports and medications. A clear treatment plan is given before any commitment.
A Kapha-reducing, insulin-friendly food plan — reduced refined carbs and dairy, increased millets and bitter vegetables, specific spices (turmeric, fenugreek, cinnamon) that support insulin sensitivity. Meal timing matters — larger breakfast, lighter dinner.
Regular movement (walking, yoga, specific asanas), sleep before 11 PM, stress management, and cycle-aware routines. Sedentary lifestyle and chronic stress are major PCOS aggravators.
Not every patient needs Panchakarma. Our doctors recommend it only when your case warrants it.
A patient case
A 28-year-old patient with PCOS diagnosed 4 years ago, on Diane-35, presented with facial hair, 15kg weight gain, and irregular cycles. Off Diane-35 after 2 months of our protocol, first independent period at month 3, regular 30-day cycles by month 6. Facial hair reduced, 8kg weight loss maintained at 12 months. Conceived naturally at month 14.
Individual cases. Outcomes vary by condition severity, adherence and chronicity.
