Natural home made treatment methods for PCOS in Ayurveda



Ayurveda classifies PCOS as a kapha disorder.
The organs responsible for reproduction in the female body are called artava dhatu. The channel that supplies, nourishes and enables the functional action of carrying the ovum to the uterus is called artavavaha srota. All three doshas play important and distinctive roles in the processes behind the female reproduction which includes the ovarian cycle and the menstrual cycle.

Vata is responsible for movement of the follicle during the ovarian cycle, the rupture of the ovary wall releasing the matured ovum, the movement of the fimbriae – the finger like projections that guide the ovum into the fallopian tubes and the movement of the ovum towards the uterus. These actions are due to apana vayu, the force behind downward movement from the navel down. Apana vayu is also responsible for the movement of menses during menstruation and the energy behind the downward movement of a baby through the birth canal during labour.

The action of the hormones expresses the nature of pitta, the energy responsible for transformation. All stages of the female reproductive process are a result of the interplay of hormones. The spark of intelligence behind the transformation of each stage is due to pitta reflected in the influence of the hormones on the different stages of the ovarian and menstrual cycles.

Kapha's heavy cool qualities nourish the development of the tissues that form and support the reproductive system including the nurturing energy supporting growth of the follicle during the ovarian cycle. It is responsible for the mucosa layer of the fallopian tubes and uterus that protects the tissues from the drying affect of ever present vata. In the GI tract kapha is responsible for the mucosa lining that protects the tissues form digestive enzymes.

PCOS is due to kapha blocking vata and pitta, hence movement is obstructed and the transformation process is suppressed.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS

MEDICINE 1

Ingredients : Aswagandha roots (Withania somnifera; about 150 gms),
Arjun bark (Terminalia arjuna; about 70 gms)

Divide both of these into 30 equal parts. Now boil 1 part every morning in 3 cups of water (approx 150ml) and reduce to 1 cup. Now filter this mixture and add 1cup of cow's milk to it. Boil the mixture again over a low flame till milk remains. Add 2 cardamoms while boiling. Consume this milk early morning empty stomach. Little sugar can be added for taste. The remaining filtrate of Aswagandha and Arjun can be used similarly in evening. During summer months, Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus var. javanica) can be substituted for Aswagandha.

MEDICINE 2

Ingredients : Deodara [Cedrus deodar] bark 40 gms

Boil the bark in 500ml of water and reduce it to 50ml. Consume this tea on empty stomach 3 times away. One can use the same bark for all three times or use fresh as per liking. This is very good remedy.

MEDICINE 3

Ingredients : Punarnava [Boehravia repens] root 30gms
Gokshur [Tribulus terresteris] 10 gms

Prepare an herbal tea as mentioned in MEDICINE 2 and consume fresh 3 times a day on empty stomach

Try any one method above to see results within 5 weeks

thanq very much for ur reply madam

[drkiranelr]

now adays many females are suffering with this pcos 60-70%are coming with pcos problems.is there any specific reason for this?due to any food habits?or anything else

[deepa]

more than irregular food habits, its their lack of proper care during mensus days which is weakening their reproductive system.
women are not supposed to do any work that strains them and eat protein+iron rich food during those days which will help them regain lost blood and energy quickly.
in earlier days and even today in villages women are served golden gram (moon dal) kichidi or just plain dal cooked without any spices.

refer : Ayurvedic cure for irregular menstruation

food habits during menstruation days

[drkiranelr]

thanq madam.got it.so this is the reason old people said take rest.and in these 3days they will not allowed to kitchen,for works.

Shatavari is also considered a treatment for PCOS. Anyone have suggestions on how to prepare it for consumption?

[deepa]

the process to use satavari for curing PCOS is same as usage of aswagandha+arjuna bark (as described in Medicine 1 of my above post)
just replace aswagandha with satavari during 3 months of summer as aswagandha produces heat in body while satavari cools it.

also satavari cures all problems related to reproductive system in women.
it also helps increase breast milk in mothers

Thanks Deepa. Someone recommended the preparation Sukumaram Kwatham to me for PCOS. ANy thoughts?
