Ayurvedic Care for
PCOD
Know About
PCOD
PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease), also known as PCOS, is a common hormonal condition that affects women during their reproductive years. It can cause irregular menstrual cycles, difficulty with ovulation, weight gain, acne, excessive hair growth, and fertility concerns. The condition is influenced by hormonal imbalance, genetics, lifestyle, and metabolic factors. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms and support reproductive health. In Ayurveda, PCOD is associated with an imbalance of Kapha and Vata Doshas, along with impaired Agni (digestive and metabolic function). Treatment focuses on restoring balance through personalized therapies, diet, herbal medicines, and lifestyle modifications.
