Managing PCOS and PCOD Naturally: Insights from Pragati Sparsh Integrated Medical Center
Introduction
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) are increasingly common hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age. While conventional medicine offers various treatments, many are turning to Ayurvedic practices for a holistic approach. At Pragati Sparsh Integrated Medical Center, we blend modern science with traditional Ayurvedic wisdom to offer effective management strategies for these conditions.
Understanding PCOS and PCOD
PCOS and PCOD are characterized by a range of symptoms like irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth, acne, and weight gain. These conditions are often associated with insulin resistance, elevated androgen levels, and hormonal imbalances.
Ayurvedic Perspective on PCOS and PCOD
In Ayurveda, PCOS and PCOD are viewed as a result of an imbalance in the body’s doshas – specifically, a disturbance in the Kapha and Vata doshas. This imbalance disrupts the body’s natural processes, leading to the symptoms observed in PCOS and PCOD.
Natural Home Remedies and Wellness Practices
- Mulethi (Liquorice): Mulethi, also known as liquorice, combats androgens and stimulates an enzyme converting androgen to estrogen. For managing PCOS, mix mulethi root powder in hot water and consume daily for at least two months.
- Flaxseeds: Rich in a compound that lowers androgen levels, flaxseeds can alleviate PCOS symptoms like abnormal hair growth. Include them in milkshakes, smoothies, or consume them directly for health benefits.
- Cinnamon: Known for improving insulin receptor function, cinnamon also corrects menstrual irregularities in PCOS. Add it to tea or consume in tablet form (after consulting a doctor) for best results.
- Omega 3 Supplements or Fish Oil: Omega 3 fatty acids help restore menstrual cycle regularity. Fish oil supplements also decrease waist-hip ratio, although they don’t significantly affect weight or ovarian size.
- Chamomile Tea: Chamomile has shown promise in reducing PCOS symptoms. Brew chamomile tea using a tea bag or a spoonful of chamomile in warm water to reap its benefits.
- Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera, combined with other compounds, shows potential in managing PCOS by normalizing hormone levels. Further research is needed to establish its exact role.
- Nirgundi (Chasteberry): A herb with many medicinal properties, Nirgundi helps combat insulin resistance, decreases androgen levels, and has estrogen-like activity, making it beneficial for PCOS management.
Diet and Lifestyle Tips for PCOS and PCOD
A balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins is crucial. Regular exercise, stress management, and maintaining a healthy weight are equally important in managing these conditions.
