PCOS is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting young women today, especially in urban cities like Pune where stressful routines, irregular eating patterns, and sedentary lifestyles have become the norm. Many women struggle silently with irregular periods, weight gain, acne, mood swings, and difficulties in conceiving. While modern treatment often focuses on temporary relief through hormonal pills, Ayurveda offers a deeper and more long-lasting solution by treating the root cause.

At Dr. Prajakta’s Ayurveda & Panchakarma Clinic, patients receive a personalized, holistic, and safe approach to PCOS management based on classical Ayurvedic principles and modern understanding of women’s hormonal health. This combination has made the clinic one of Pune’s trusted centres for PCOS treatment.

PCOS in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, PCOS is not seen as a single disease but as a systemic imbalance involving Kapha, Vata, metabolism, and reproductive tissues.

The primary causes include:

  • Agnimandya (weak digestive metabolism)
  • Ama accumulation (toxins blocking channels)
  • Kapha aggravation causing cyst formation
  • Vata imbalance affecting menstrual flow
  • Stress-induced hormonal disturbance

The Ayurvedic approach to PCOS focuses on correcting digestion, clearing toxins, balancing doshas, and restoring menstrual and ovulatory rhythm.

Ayurvedic Treatment Approach

Ayurvedic treatment for PCOS at Dr. Prajakta’s clinic is customised and multi-dimensional. It typically includes:

  1. Correcting metabolic imbalance
  2. Strengthening reproductive tissues
  3. Improving digestion and reducing Ama
  4. Balancing Kapha and Vata
  5. Supporting natural ovulation
  6. Addressing insulin resistance
  7. Emotional and stress correction

Patients undergo a detailed consultation covering symptoms, lifestyle, hormonal health, digestion, and sleep, which helps create a personalised treatment plan.

Herbal Medicines for Hormonal Regulation

Ayurvedic formulations help regulate hormones naturally without synthetic hormones. Commonly recommended herbs include:

  • Ashoka for menstrual regulation
  • Shatavari for nourishing the reproductive system
  • Lodhra for reducing Kapha dominance
  • Ashwagandha for stress and cortisol balance
  • Guduchi for detox and immunity
  • Triphala for improving digestion and metabolism

At Dr. Prajakta’s clinic, medicines are tailored for each patient based on their dosha and symptoms. This ensures long-term hormonal stability without side effects.

Panchakarma Detox to Reduce Ama (Toxins)

Panchakarma is one of the most effective therapies for chronic PCOS cases where deep-rooted Ama or metabolic blocks exist. It helps clear toxins, enhance metabolism, and balance hormones.

Treatments may include:

  • Virechana to detox the system and regulate hormones
  • Basti therapy to balance Vata and support ovulatory function
  • Udvartanam for weight management and reducing insulin resistance
  • Abhyanga and Swedana for stress reduction and improved circulation
  • Nasya for regulating neurohormonal pathways

These therapies are customised depending on symptoms such as irregular cycles, weight gain, acne, or fertility concerns.

Ayurvedic Diet for Balancing Hormones

Diet plays a crucial role in treating PCOS. Ayurveda advocates food that strengthens Agni (digestion) and reduces Kapha accumulation.

A PCOS-friendly Ayurvedic diet includes:

  • Fresh, warm, homemade meals
  • Ghee, sesame oil, and good-quality fats
  • Green vegetables and seasonal fruits
  • Whole grains like red rice, jowar, bajra
  • Moong dal and easily digestible proteins
  • Spices like turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, fennel

Foods to avoid include fried snacks, dairy excess, sugar, packaged foods, cold drinks, and heavy meals. Diet correction supports natural hormonal balance and improves energy levels.

Yoga, Pranayama & Stress Correction

Stress directly affects PCOS by influencing cortisol, insulin, and reproductive hormones. Regular yoga and breathing practices help restore hormonal rhythm.

Commonly recommended practices include:

  • Surya Namaskar
  • Baddha Konasana
  • Bhujangasana
  • Uttanasana
  • Anulom-Vilom
  • Deep diaphragmatic breathing
