How are we able to Treat PCOS

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance that occurs in women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent, prolonged or no menstrual cycle. In this condition, ovaries develop a collection of small follicles and fail to regularly release eggs.

In Ayurveda, PCOS is determined as a Kapha dosha disorder. Atharva dhatu is the tissue that is responsible for reproductive functions in female body and the channel that carries the reproductive fluid is called as atharvavaha strota. In PCOS, these strotas are blocked by over accumulation of Kapha dosha, and 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 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 in 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 future.

Unlike other treatment procedures that jump straight to symptom management, we address the root-cause of the disease. Our treatment for PCOS has proved to achieve a near cure and symptom-free state. We focus on diet, use of potent herbs, meditation, massage with herbal oils and yoga. These classical ayurveda practices have proven & shown sustained results in our PCOS Treatment.

Due to PCOS

Infertility itself does not stand alone. It is the result of some other disease. So the herbs used in the treatment are directed towards eradicating the underlying cause.

Our internal medications are extremely useful formulations which help create the synergistic hormonal balance between the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and the Luteinizing Hormone (LH).

No individual herb alone is considered useful for promoting fertility. Therefore, a combination of herbs is used in the treatment of infertility with the purpose of correcting an organic or functional problem that causes infertility.

Irregular Periods due to PCOS

Irregular Periods

Due to PCOS

PCOS causes eggs to be released far later than they should be as part of a healthy menstrual cycle. As a result, in certain situations, the period is delayed or even missed. It often comes along with many hormonal changes that leads to physical symptoms like rapid changes in weight, acne, facial hairs etc.

Ayurveda provides extensive information and insight into the reproductive system of women, allowing us to understand how to naturally overcome irregular periods. The menstrual period is regarded as a blessing since it allows a woman's body to replenish and expel pollutants. According to Ayurveda, the three doshas - Vata, Kapha, and Pitta - impact a woman's menstrual cycle. Knowing the prevalent doshas in your body and making the necessary changes in your diet and Lifestyle is the key to the treatment.

The subdosha of Vata that governs the menstrual cycle is Apana Vata. It's in the lower belly, and it's in charge of the intestinal, urine, and reproductive systems' downward flow. According to Ayurveda, irregular periods are caused by an imbalance of this particular dosha. Stress, poor food, Long-term illnesses, lack of physical activity, over-exertion, and certain drugs all contribute to Apana Vata imbalance.

With our detailed diagnosis we try to identify the root cause lying behind irregular periods. We also try to analyze patient's Prakriti (constitution) for better understanding. It helps us to identify the nature of your body based on which we decide the best Ayurvedic medicines which suit your body the most.

It helps to remove the root cause behind your disease. The optimal dose of our potent medicines eradicates the morbid matters and provides permanent relief. Our time tested Ayurveda medicine compounds have been proven effective in almost all cases of irregular periods.

Apart from medicines, we also provide diet, lifestyle, exercise and meditation guidelines to deal with your diseases in the most prompt and effective manner.

Unwanted Hair Growth due to PCOS

Unwanted Hair Growth

Due to PCOS

The abnormal growth of hair in women can be due to various reasons, but in a majority of cases, the reason will be underlying systemic illness. It is mainly endocrine-linked, i.e., due to presence of excess androgens or neoplasms in the system or may be of idiopathic origin. On the basis of origin, it is classified as androgenic, non-androgenic and idiopathic.

Androgenic causes include women with PCOS, adrenal hyperplasia, thyroid dysfunction, cushing syndrome, androgen-secreting tumors and also syndromes of severe insulin resistance. Non-androgenic causes are relatively rare and due to excess production of growth hormones resulting in acromegalics. Idiopathic hirsutism has no identifiable cause. A gradual increased growth of coarse hair is typically the only symptom in women with this condition.

The treatment in Ayurveda always begins with Nidana Parivarjana. One of the major causes of facial hair in women is due to PCOS. By treating this condition, one can completely prevent unwanted hair growth on the face.

There are also various herbo-mineral preparations for treating the issue. These topical applications enter the lomakupa and vandalize the follicles to cause temporary or permanent depletion. Most of the drugs used carry ushna potency with pitta laguna. Some have chedana and bhedana properties. In comparison to the modern approach by cosmetology with laser treatments etc, these methods are more effective, economical and less time consuming.

Acne due to PCOS

Acne

Due to PCOS

Ayurveda looks at all health issues holistically. The whole body is involved in any manifestation of a health issue and Ayurveda treats it as such. So, instead of treating only the acne site, Ayurvedic treatment for acne goes right to the root cause of the problem.

Ayurvedic doctors study the skin of a person in order to ascertain their health. When a person has all the Doshas in good balance and is healthy the skin will indicate it. A healthy person has a glow of good health on their skin. Similarly, the imbalance of the Doshas can also be studied by looking at the nature of the blemishes on the skin. These factors are then linked with the definition of the nature of each Dosha.

The metabolic waste Ama affecting the skin causes acne and skin discoloration. Ayurvedic medicine for pimples and marks helps treat the problem from within the body. Ayurveda recommends that a person keep the digestive fire at its optimum levels to support digestion. Food and diet habits to avoid the formation of Ama and balance the Doshas are essential to avoid inflammation and irritation of the skin. Ayurvedic medicine for pimples has essential herbal ingredients that aid in the detoxification of the body and removing Ama. Ayurvedic medicine for acne is to be taken internally as well as applied externally. Topically applied Ayurveda pimple treatment helps fight the inflammation and infection at the site and improve the appearance of the skin.

Fatigue due to PCOS

Fatigue

Due to PCOS

Why PCOS Causes Fatigue in Women - Many women who have PCOS suffer from fatigue due inflammation, hormone imbalance, and insulin dysregulation. But where does all this inflammation and hormone imbalance come from? Often it's due to the highs and lows in blood sugar, plus the body pumping out increased stress hormones–such as cortisol–almost all day long.

While it's not possible to avoid every stressor, you can take care of chronic stress and reduce inflammation. To combat PCOS fatigue with holistic medicine, focus on building healthy hormones, keeping blood sugar steady, and decreasing inflammation.

Inflammation and stress can tank your energy levels and sabotage your hormones – especially if you have PCOS. Our Treatments can help you nourish your adrenals during times of stress, balance blood sugar to prevent energy crashes, and decrease inflammation.

Ayurveda and women

In essence, Ayurveda is a Feminine philosophy. It's the Primal Goddess's offspring. She nurtures, rejuvenates, and cures herself, as well as giving Prana, or Life-Giving Energy, creative form and shape.
Ayurveda is sensitive to the Sukumara nature of the female body (Sanskrit: gentle, delicate, and fragile). This isn't meant to be a sign of weakness. On the contrary, it depicts Feminine Balance and Natural Balance, as well as the deep relationship between the two. When a female body menstruates, it shows that it is capable of doing precisely what Mother Nature does - producing, reproducing, feeding, and developing.

Treatment

PCOS is not curable with Western medicine. Hormonal therapy and birth control tablets are common treatments for PCOS, and they help to regulate your periods and boost fertility. Furthermore, there are a number of cosmetic treatments that may be used to eliminate unwanted hair. To put it another way, western medicine focuses solely on managing the symptoms of PCOS.

Ayurveda, on the other hand, offers a multifaceted treatment with the finest curative outcomes.

Ayurveda can't help you until you change your lifestyle. As a result, before undergoing Ayurvedic therapy for PCOS, you should have the right mentality. Here's the four-point treatment plan we use for PCOS:

  • Balancing the doshas.
  • Lightening up the fire
  • Balancing the hormones
  • Removal of excess doshas

In some cases, all of these may be necessary, while in others, one or two stages may suffice. The two most important factors in determining therapy are the case's chronicity and severity. How are we going to do it?

Dosha Balancing is a process that involves balancing the doshas. These two things are linked, and this is something that must be done. This is the initial stage in ensuring that the body is functioning properly. The risks of disrupting pathology will be reduced as long as physiology is in place. This may be done after collecting the patient's entire personal and menstrual history, as well as a pulse diagnostic.

Lightening up the fire: According to Ayurveda, excellent metabolism is the basis to all of the body's correct functions. Agni is the god of metabolism. A healthy metabolism aids the body in warding off all diseases.

Years before this modern knowledge of insulin dependency and poor metabolism, Ayurveda advises that Rasa, or direct food digestion, aids proper menstruation. As a result, it's crucial to think about it. Hormone treatment can help you get your period for a few cycles, but it won't fix your overall system. Things will improve permanently if we can balance the metabolism.

Balancing hormones: PCOD, as we all know, is all about hormones. As a result, it's critical to work on them. However, at Elite Ayurveda, we see this as a last option. Because tampering with the hormonal system is not recommended. We must let the body's inherent healing power correct the situation. When we are unable to restore these hormones, we seek out remedies to assist the body in regaining hormonal equilibrium. As a result, we employ medications and panchakarma treatments as needed.

Removal of excess doshas: Panchakarma is the final treatment option. When the PCOD problem is severe and chronic. It is critical to eliminate the deep-seated doshas from the body. As a result, we will be able to permanently correct the entire system. In most cases, individuals with PCOS come to us because they are infertile. It is critical to ensure rapid outcomes in such situations. As a result, due to the urgency of the situation, we chose the final line of therapy.

Treatment:

  • Detoxification of the body is the major goal of our treatment for women with PCOS.
  • Regularizing menstruation periods and strengthening and rejuvenating the female reproductive system.
  • Getting rid of hormonal imbalance

Each patient receives a customized treatment plan based on her individual health demands as a result of PCOS. Such a tailored strategy aids in the natural rebalancing of hormones. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on restoring tissue nourishment, correcting imbalances in the body's dosha-bio-energies, and stimulating metabolism. Ayurvedic remedies also aid in the slow and healthy loss of weight, as well as the reduction of hair, facial hair development, and acne. As a result, Ayurvedic therapy not only aids in the management of PCOS, but also in the restoration of health and well-being.

PCOS and PCOD

Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD) and Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOS) are commonly used interchangeably. They are linked because they are both related with the ovaries and cause infertility.

In PCOS, however, the ovaries create abnormally high quantities of androgens, which raise testosterone levels and cause hirsutism. They also have an impact on the formation of healthy eggs. Some of the eggs develop into cysts, which are liquid-filled sacs that form up in the ovaries and can expand.

Due to hormonal abnormalities, mature eggs do not get expelled and gather in the ovaries in PCOD. These imbalances interfere with follicular development during the ovarian cycle, causing afflicted follicles to stay in the ovary. Ovulation does not occur when the follicles do not develop.

In layman's terms, polycystic ovarian syndrome is a condition in which two or more of the following conditions occur:

  • Multiple cysts develop in the ovaries.
  • Estrogen and progesterone hormone balance is disrupted.
  • Ovulation is delayed or absent, resulting in missed or skipped periods.
  • More testosterone (male hormone) is produced by the ovaries than is usual.

Causes of PCOS

The specific causes of PCOS is unknown. The following factors, on the other hand, may be important:

  • Insulin resistance - Insulin resistance is quite frequent in PCOS women. The correct development of follicles is hampered by a high amount of insulin. It also causes obesity and raises the chance of developing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
  • A high level of testosterone, or male hormone — According to research, every 4th woman with PCOS has a rise in the usual level of luteinizing hormone. The ovary produces the male hormone in response to an increase in luteinizing hormone levels.
  • Obesity - Excess fat makes you more insulin resistant. Increased insulin levels in the blood lead to weight growth, creating a vicious cycle.
  • Genetics: Polycystic ovarian syndrome may run in families, according to a study. If any of your relatives, such as your mother, aunt, or sister, has PCOS, your chances of having it rise.
  • Low-grade inflammation — Women with PCOS have a sort of low-grade inflammation that causes their ovaries to release more androgen. This illness can potentially cause difficulties with the blood vessels and the heart.

How PCOS occurs

Each month, the ovaries release an egg as part of a healthy menstrual cycle. PCOS is a condition that affects women. When reproductive hormones are out of balance, it affects the egg's growth. Either the ovary fails to produce an egg or the procedure takes too long. As a result, irregular or missing menstrual cycles occur, which can lead to the following:

  • Small fluid-filled sacs called cysts develop in the ovaries.
  • The inability to conceive
  • Due to the high amount of male hormones, unwanted changes in appearance, such as acne and facial hair, might occur.
  • The body's inability to effectively utilize insulin raises the risk of diabetes.

In the absence of effective therapy, PCOS is a chronic illness that can last a lifetime. If this is not treated or manages, it may lead to further complications like:

  • Infertility
  • Pregnancy-induced high blood pressure
  • Premature birth
  • Miscarriage
  • Liver inflammation due to accumulation of fat cells in the liver
  • Sleep apnoea
  • Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
  • Anxiety, depression and eating disorders
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Endometrial cancer or cancer of the uterine lining

Ayurveda on PCOD

The menstrual cycle, its physiology, and disease are discussed extensively. These allusions may be found throughout Ayurveda's original text. As a result, we must examine these references with one goal in mind: to answer the problem. Ayurveda uses the terms Doshas and Dhatus to communicate, thus we must be familiar with these terms.

But, first and foremost, the menstrual cycle is described as "Aartava," and any references we found for Ayurvedic PCOD therapy are based on the same notion.

Menstruation has its own set of doshas. It's difficult to say which dosha is more closely linked to the menstrual cycle. Every dosha is a part of the procedure.

  • Vata is in charge of the beginning of menstrual flow.
  • Pitta is responsible for bringing blood to it.
  • The flow is calmed by Kapha.

In a nutshell, all of the doshas are involved in the menstrual cycle. Because Vata fails to stimulate the flow and Kapha prevents it, both Vata and Kapha are crucial factors to consider while dealing with PCOS.

Because the reproductive system is inextricably linked to Vata dosha, it is more necessary to consider Vata Dosha. However, when we look at the reasons, we find that the majority of them are related to Kapha Dosha. Obesity, insulin resistance, and male hormones are all indicators of Kapha dosha. As a result, for Ayurvedic therapy of PCOS, we must examine the Kapha Dosha once again.

Which Dhatu do we need to re-establish?

Aartava is a Rasa subdomain. The first and most important element that comes from food is rasa. As a result, menstruation is linked to food and the first degree of nutrition. Finally, Ayurveda's approach to PCOS is as follows:

Vata is unable to commence the menstrual cycle. Because Kapha is interfering with and slowing the procedure. This occurs often due to the fact that food disturbance is quite mild. Our eating habits fluctuate, and this has an impact on the reproductive system.

When properly calculated, this simple Ayurvedic concept may be turned into results. The therapy for PCOS that we use is based on the same calculation.

To summarize, Ayurveda connects healthy ovulation disturbance to Kapha and Vata Dosha imbalances. The hollow space of the reproductive cavity represents Akasha Mahabhuta, or Space, in the female body. Vata is in charge of follicular movement, or the breach of the ovarian wall that releases the developed ovum, as well as the movement of fimbriae, or the finger-like projections that guide the ovum down the fallopian tubes and into the uterus, throughout the ovarian cycle. Kapha nourishes the uterus, promotes follicular growth, and assists in the development of (fertilized) eggs into fetuses. Hormones, according to Ayurveda, symbolize the 'fire' aspects of human tissue, and hence, Pitta Dosha, which represents change, much as Vata stands for movement and Kapha for consolidation and security.' An unbalanced Kapha's cool and sticky properties impair the digestive fire, or Agni, which affects the metabolic rates of the tissues, or dhatus. Rasa dhatu (lymph and plasma), medha dhatu (adipose tissue), and artava dhatu are the dhatus that are impacted in PCOD (the female reproductive system).
