Ayurveda Treatment for PCOS

Overview

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal and metabolic disorders that occurs in women of reproductive age. In Ayurveda, this condition is equivalent to Pushpaghni Jataharini. The Sanskrit word Pushpaghni means destroyer of ovum, and Jataharini is a state where fertility and birth are hindered.
Ayurveda attributes PCOS to an imbalance of the menstrual cycle, metabolism, and overall reproductive health. Insulin resistance is a common condition associated with women who have PCOS. This imbalance may disrupt the normal functioning of the ovaries, resulting in a range of symptoms that are noticeable throughout the body.
Some of the common symptoms are irregular or no periods, weight gain or inability to lose weight, acne, excessive facial and body hair, thinning of hair, mood swings, including anxiety and depression, and problems with fertility.
Apollo AyurVAID employs an integrated, individualised, and protocol-driven approach (Precision Ayurveda), addressing the root causes of PCOS rather than treating only its symptoms. An expert team of Ayurveda physicians conducts a comprehensive whole-person health assessment to design a personalised protocol, comprising classical Ayurveda medications and therapies, as well as individualised diet and lifestyle modifications.
At Apollo AyurVAID, Ayurveda treatment for PCOS focuses on preventing further progression of the disorder, restoring hormonal balance in the woman, and, ultimately, assisting the woman to establish a healthy menstrual cycle and fertility to improve her quality of life.

Who Can Benefit and Who May Not: Ayurveda Treatment Scope in PCOS

Who Can Benefit from Ayurveda Treatment?

A Precision Ayurveda approach can assist individuals with PCOS at different stages – newly diagnosed people or those on long-term hormonal medication, individuals looking for support for fertility issues or metabolic imbalance, etc. Apollo AyurVAID’s approaches are especially relevant for the following patients:

1. Women with Irregular Periods and Hormonal Imbalances
If you have heavy, scanty or infrequent periods, Ayurveda can help get your cycles back on track naturally by restoring hormonal balance through individualised treatment plans and dietary changes.

2. People dealing with Skin, Hair, or Appearance-related Issues
Ayurveda has gentle, side-effect-free treatments that can help improve individual skin clarity and hormonal health for women with acne or dark skin patches on their body, like acanthosis nigricans.

3. People dealing with Weight and Metabolic Issues
If you are dealing with early-stage diabetes, insulin resistance, and/or abdominal obesity, Ayurveda detox, herbs, and dietary recommendations can be used to help promote fat metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity.

4. Patients Looking to Avoid or Transition from Hormonal Pills
Ayurveda offers safer, more comprehensive treatments that aim to address the underlying imbalance, regardless of whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or are worried about long-term use of synthetic hormones.

5. Women Seeking Assistance with Fertility and General Health
If you’re trying to conceive or want a more comprehensive approach to mood, energy, sleep, and reproductive health, Ayurveda’s whole-person care can help restore harmony and vitality.

Who May Not Benefit from Ayurveda Treatment?

Ayurveda aims to reverse the underlying causes of PCOS, but in some cases, it might not be appropriate or adequate on its own: 

    1. Individuals with advanced-stage or severe PCOS, having severe insulin resistance or advanced diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 8.5%), extreme obesity (BMI ≥ 35), severe hormonal imbalances, or metabolic disorders that need immediate medical attention.
    2. Individuals who are weak and unable to endure treatments that are essential to Ayurveda’s effectiveness.

Move Beyond Hormonal Pills

Transition to explore safe natural alternatives for sustained hormonal health and improved fertility.

What PCOS Patients Can Expect from AyurVAID's Approach

Modern medicine views polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) as a chronic metabolic and reproductive disorder. PCOS is charecterised by enlarged ovaries with numerous cysts, absent or irregular periods, insulin resistance, increased androgen levels (male hormone), and a long-term risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or endometrial hyperplasia. 

Conventional treatment options for PCOS consist of hormonal contraceptives to manage symptoms, insulin-sensitising drugs such as metformin, cosmetic treatments for acne and hirsutism, and fertility medications. These treatments may relieve symptoms in the short term, but they usually do not treat the underlying cause of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and may have unintended side effects such as changes in mood, changes in weight or dependence on medicines. 

Ayurveda treatment for PCOS takes a comprehensive, long-term, and cause-based approach.

At Apollo AyurVAID, PCOS management focuses on: 

  • Restore Hormonal and Metabolic Balance – Ayurveda treats dosha imbalance through Panchakarma, customised medicines, and a tailored diet, ensuring a reduction in ovarian volume, increased insulin sensitivity, and promoting natural, regular menstruation. 
  • Support Reproductive Health and Fertility – Cleansing the Artava-vaha Srotas (menstrual channel) improves ovulation. The chances of natural conception increases, and there is less dependency on artificial fertilisation techniques. 
  • Maintain Natural Weight Loss – Instead of fad dieting, Ayurveda emphasises a long-term metabolic balance and improved gastrointestinal tract strength (Agni Deepana), resulting in inch loss, more energy, and sustainable weight without adverse effects. 
  • Decrease Drug Dependence– By normalising endocrine and metabolic function, Ayurveda systematically decreases drug dependence on hormonal tablets, anti-diabetic medications.
  • Whole person Healing and Prevention– Ayurveda promotes emotional health, enhances sleep, alleviates stress, and controls associated comorbidities like insulin resistance and anxiety, preventing conversion to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Causative Factors (Nidanas) of PCOS

According to the principles of Ayurveda, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the result of a combination of genetic, lifestyle, diet and psychological factors. The following outlines the most common factors associated with PCOS:  

  1. Unhealthy diet (Ahara): Excessive junk food, sugar and processed foods, erratic eating (eating at different times each meal), excessive overeating or late-night eating.
  2. Irregular sleep (Nidra): Going to bed late, waking up late, and sleeping during the day disrupts the body’s biological clock. The body needs a regular sleep cycle in order to maintain optimum hormone regulation. 
  3. Sedentary lifestyle (Vihara): No regular physical activity diminishes metabolism and leads to gaining weight around the abdomen. These changes precipitate PCOS.
  4. Chronic stress and emotional imbalance (Mansika): Ongoing anxiety, frustration and emotional stress eventually leads to greater imbalances in a person’s overall hormonal harmony.
  5. Genetic risk (Bijadosha): If there is any family history of PCOS and menstruation disorders, the person is at greater risk.

Pathogenesis (Samprapti) of PCOS

Lean Vs. Obese PCOS

PCOS varies for lean and obese individuals. Lean PCOS is due to hormonal dysregulation resulting from stress, while obese PCOS is due to metabolic disturbance.

Lean PCOS

  • Root causes: Anxiety, long-term emotional stress, improper eating and sleeping cycle, extreme dieting or fasting.
  • Pathogenesis: Lack of digestive strength (manda agni) impacts tissue nourishment. Chronic stress disrupts the connection between the brain and the ovaries, leading to irregular or scanty periods and underdeveloped ovarian follicles that can develop into cysts.

Obese PCOS 

  • Root causes: high sugar and high-fat diet, physical inactivity, drinking excess cold drinks, and disturbed sleep cycles.
  • Pathogenesis: Increased body weight causes a kapha imbalance leading to sluggish metabolism, insulin resistance. Increased insulin levels lead to increased androgens (male hormones) with resultant excess facial hair, acne, absence or heavy/irregular cycles and multiple ovarian cysts.

Ayurveda addresses both types – by restoring digestive health and balancing hormones through a combination of internal medicines, dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, and Panchakarma therapies. By reducing stress, Ayurveda adopts a holistic approach that extends beyond symptom management to enhance overall health and well-being significantly. 

Facing symptoms like irregular periods or mild acne?

Consult our expert physicians for early risk-prevention & restore regular menstruation.

Symptoms (Rupas) of PCOS

The symptoms of PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, can range from mild to severe. These include: 

  1. Menstrual irregularities: Scanty, irregular, heavy, or prolonged periods
  2. Hirsutism: Excessive hair growth on the face and body
  3. Acne: Persistent and severe breakouts of pimples
  4. Obesity: Particularly weight gain in the abdomen (viscera)
  5. Acanthosis Nigricans: Dark, thickened skin patches that are frequently found on the neck or in body folds
  6. Hair loss and scalp hair thinning
  7. Mood fluctuations: Anxiety, irritability, or inexplicable anger outbursts
  8. Digestive issues: Bloating, indigestion, and other gastrointestinal problems

Severity Levels of PCOS

PCOS Severity Description Typical Presentation
Mild Symptoms are minor and often go unnoticed by the individual Daily life is largely unaffected. Occasional irregular periods or mild skin/hair changes
Moderate Symptoms become more visible and may require treatment, but are still manageable Irregular periods, mild to moderate acne, some excess hair, and mild weight gain
Severe Pronounced symptoms, significantly impacting quality of life and fertility Very irregular/absent periods, significant weight gain, severe acne, pronounced hair growth or male-pattern baldness, and trouble conceiving

Ayurveda’s Perspective on PCOS Symptoms

Although PCOS isn’t specifically mentioned in Ayurveda, it is described as various conditions having similar symptoms: 

  • Pushpagni Jataharini: Hormonal imbalances causing hirsutism, obesity, non-functional ovum, and anovulatory cycles (no ovulation despite apparently regular periods).
  • Artavakshaya: Characterised by irregular or scanty menstruation, long intervals between periods, and lower abdominal pain all of which is attributed to dosha imbalances affecting reproductive tissues.
  • Anartava: Complete lack of menstruation, caused by Vata and Kapha imbalances obstructing the menstrual channels (Artavavaha Srotas).
  • Raktapradara: Excessive menstrual bleeding caused by heavy or protracted periods brought on by anovulation and hormonal/endometrial dysfunction, which is mirrored in PCOS by unopposed estrogen action on the endometrium. Ayurveda associates this with Vata, Pitta, and Rakta dhatu vitiation, highlighting the overlap in understanding hormonal and tissue-level imbalances.

AyurVAID's 4-Step Approach to Determine Root Cause and Create Individualised Treatment Plan

AyurVAID employs a structured, protocol-driven approach to ensure effective treatment and sustainable recovery for patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).

1. Whole-Person Health Assessment

Conducted by our specially trained doctors, this assessment includes an in-depth evaluation of present and past symptoms, Nidana Panchaka (causative factors), and hormonal imbalance pathways using comprehensive clinical methods such as Ashta Sthana Pariksha (8-fold examination), Dasha Vidha Pariksha (10 factors), and Artava Vaha Srota Pariksha (reproductive channel examination). Relevant laboratory tests, including hormonal profiles (LH, FSH, and AMH), and imaging (transvaginal ultrasound for ovarian morphology), are integrated for a thorough evaluation.

2. Disease Tree

We map your condition from root causes to symptoms by identifying specific dosha imbalances, agni disruption, and channel blockages. This reveals how hormonal irregularities progress to create metabolic changes, menstrual disruptions, skin issues, and fertility challenges, providing a clear pathway for targeted intervention.

3. Personalised Protocol-Based Care

Your individualised treatment plan combines classical Ayurveda medicines, Panchakarma procedures, and lifestyle modifications that address diet, exercise, and stress management. We focus on restoring hormonal balance, regulating cycles, and reversing metabolic disturbances.

4. Monitoring and Outcomes

We track progress using established measures, including menstrual cycle regularity, ovulation induction, and key metabolic parameters, to ensure comprehensive improvement and long-term health restoration.  

AyurVAID's Protocol-Driven Treatment for PCOS (Precision Ayurveda):

AyurVAID adopts a scientifically grounded, protocol-driven approach to managing PCOS through Precision Ayurveda, with Panchakarma as a core treatment modality. This holistic strategy targets the root causes of PCOS and promotes long-term health outcomes.

AyurVAID’s Ayurveda Treatment for PCOS incorporates the following principles:

  1. Agni Deepana: Enhancing digestive fire for better metabolism
  2. Ama Pachana: Detoxifying accumulated toxins
  3. Rukshana: Drying excess Kapha to reduce heaviness and blockages
  4. Koshta Shodhana: Cleansing the gastrointestinal tract
  5. Vatanulomana: Restoring normal Vata movement
  6. Srotoshodhana: Clearing obstructions in bodily channels (srotas) for improved hormonal signalling

Additional considerations include:

  • Dhatvagni Deepana: Correcting metabolic dysfunction and Ama dosha in tissues
  • Santarpanotta Vyadhi Chikitsa: Addressing Kapha-Medohara dushti (Kapha-induced obesity)
  • Sthoulya Chikitsa: Managing obesity linked to PCOS
  • Avarana Janya Prameha Chikitsa: Treating insulin resistance caused by Kapha-Vata obstruction
  • Rakta Dushti Chikitsa & Kshudra Roga Chikitsa: Managing hirsutism, acne, and acanthosis nigricans
  • Yoni/Artava Vyapad Chikitsa: Correcting menstrual disorders such as dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, or menorrhagia
  • Granthi Chikitsa: Addressing ovarian cyst formation

Treatment Approach

Poorvakarma Stage:

The Panchakarma therapy begins with Poorvakarma, a preparatory stage designed to loosen toxins, balance the doshas, and enhance the digestive fire (Agni). This stage addresses acute symptoms, including metabolic toxins (Ama), inflammation, and hormonal imbalances.

Duration: Approximately 14-15 days of intensive therapy 

Internal Medications: Customised formulations to balance doshas, boost Agni, aid digestion, hormonal alignment, and expel Ama for immediate relief

External Therapies: 

  • Sarvanga Abhyanga: Full-body massage with medicated oils to reduce inflammation and improve circulation
  • Sarvanga Udwarthana: Dry powder massage using Ayurveda churnas to address Kapha-induced obesity
  • Bashpa Sweda: Steam therapy using Dashamoola Kashaya to detoxify and enhance metabolic function
  • Nasya: Nasal administration of medicated oil or liquid is done under aseptic precautions for HPO Axis correction

Panchakarma Procedures:

Administered based on the condition of the patient

  • Vamana: It is the optimum treatment to eliminate Kapha Dosha. Since PCOS is commonly thought to be a Kapha-Vata condition with Kapha imbalance resulting in Srotoavarodha (obstruction of channels), Vamana serves to eliminate these obstructions. It stimulates the metabolism of the body and thus is useful for weight loss and specifically impacts liver metabolism, which is essential for the proper production and function of hormones.
  • Virechana: It harmonises the activities of Pitta and Agni. It facilitates betterment in the neuro-psycho-endocrinological axis, resulting in rejuvenated intellect, sense organs, and mind. It regularises disturbed hormonal and lipid levels through an action on liver metabolism, thus aids in efficient digestion and metabolism.
  • Vasti: It helps regulate the HPO axis and brings in hormonal alignment. 
  • Dhara: The streaming of medicated liquid (Kashayadhara) over the full body is administered after assessing the patient’s dosha imbalance. Shirodhara with medicated liquid over the forehead helps reduce stress, calm the mind, and regulate the HPO axis.

Nourishing Rasayana Therapies:

In Ayurveda, Rasayana therapies are designed to nourish and rejuvenate the body, thereby enhancing overall health and well-being. The medications have shown promising results in regulating hormonal imbalances, promoting endocrine health, and improving ovarian function.
By combining Rasayana with lifestyle modifications, Ayurveda Treatment for PCOS provides a sustainable approach to managing the onset and progression, while enhancing overall health and fertility outcomes.
Note: These steps are done under the surveillance of doctors on an IP basis. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the hormonal imbalance, the extent of metabolic disturbance, the presence of associated symptoms (such as acne, hair loss, or weight gain), and any coexisting conditions, including thyroid disorders or insulin resistance.

Case Studies

Case 1: A case of a 29-year-old woman with PCOD, Obesity, Cholelithiasis, and Borderline Diabetes

Case Summary: The patient presented with irregular periods, right upper abdominal pain, elevated blood sugar (HbA1c 6.2%), and significant weight gain (100 kg over 5 years). She led a sedentary lifestyle with irregular dietary habits. Investigations confirmed PCOD, cholelithiasis, and early-stage diabetes mellitus. She underwent a 24-day inpatient Ayurveda treatment at AyurVAID Hospital, which included therapies such as Udwartana, Choornapinda Sweda, Abhyanga, Vamana, Virechana, and Yoga Vasti, alongside internal medications. Following treatment, her weight reduced to 92 kg (BMI from 39.1 to 35.9), and abdominal pain (VAS 5–6/10) became mild and occasional. Appetite normalised, and anthropometric measurements showed improvement. Ultrasound at discharge showed a reduction in the size and number of gallstones. Menstrual regularity was attained. She was discharged in stable condition with dietary and lifestyle guidelines and advised to follow up for HbA1c and ultrasound after 3 months. The intervention led to a notable improvement in metabolic and hormonal balance, supporting the long-term reversal of her conditions.

Scientific Publications

  1. Clinical efficacy of Ayurveda treatment regimen on Subfertility with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS);2010, Research Article: This observational clinical study evaluated a structured Ayurveda treatment over six months in 40 women with PCOS-related subfertility. The regimen included herbal formulations, Uttara Basti, and dietary modifications. Patients were assessed using symptom scores, hormonal profiles (LH/FSH ratio), and ultrasonography. The study showed significant improvement in menstrual regularity, duration of bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and BMI. 85% of participants showed reversal of PCOS features, and 75% conceived. The results suggest Ayurveda protocols can effectively manage PCOS-related infertility by restoring hormonal balance and improving follicular health.
  2. Clinical efficacy of Ayurveda treatment on PCOS; 2013, Research Article: This clinical study assessed the effectiveness of an Ayurveda herbal compound along with Basti and Uttara Basti in 40 women with PCOS over three months. Patients were evaluated using menstrual parameters, LH/FSH ratio, ultrasound imaging, and symptom scoring. Post-treatment, 87% of patients showed a reversal of PCOS symptoms, 62% conceived, and significant improvements were noted in menstrual cycle regularity, pain, and bleeding volume. The trial supports that Ayurveda, through its hormonal rebalancing and metabolic correction approach, offers a safe, non-hormonal, and non-surgical alternative for PCOS management.
  3. Effect of Shatapushpa Taila Matra Basti and Pathadi Kwatha on Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease; 2012, RCT: This randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial assessed the effectiveness of Pathadi Kwatha and Shatapushpa Taila Matra Basti in 34 women with PCOD over two months. Group A received both treatments, Group B received only Basti, and Group C received a placebo. Group A showed significant improvement in menstrual regularity (32.4%), pain relief (62.5%), follicular growth (100%), and weight reduction (4.3%). Group B showed moderate benefits, while Group C showed minimal change. The results suggest that the combination therapy is more effective than monotherapy or placebo in improving menstrual and ovarian function in PCOD.
  4. Effect of Satapushpa Churnam with Tila Tailam in oligomenorrhea associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome; 2021, Research Article: This before-and-after study evaluated 30 women with PCOS and oligomenorrhea treated with Satapushpa powder and Tila Tailam for three months. Results showed a significant reduction in menstrual interval (from 90 to 33.5 days, p < 0.001) and ovarian volume, along with an improvement in BMI. Menstrual duration and bleeding remained unchanged. The study suggests this Ayurveda regimen is a safe, effective, non-hormonal option for restoring menstrual regularity and reducing ovarian size in PCOS.
  5. A randomised single blind comparative clinical study on the efficacy of Anjani – a folklore herb, and Krishna Tila Kalka in the management of PCOS W.S.R. to oligomenorrhoea; 2021, Research Article: The study compared the efficacy of Anjani vati (trial drug) and Krishna Tila Kalka (control drug) in managing PCOS with oligomenorrhoea. Both treatments showed statistically significant results (P<0.001) in improving menstrual interval, duration of bleeding, amount of bleeding, and pain symptoms. When compared to each other, the treatments were found to be statistically equivalent in their effectiveness (p > 0.05) across all parameters. Krishna Tila Kalka showed better action in restoring normal menstrual cycle duration, amount of bleeding, and duration of bleeding, while Anjani Vati showed better results in reducing intermenstrual duration. Both medications were effective without causing side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What foods should I add to my PCOS diet?
Incorporate whole grains, high fiber foods, lean meat, and healthy fats in moderate proportions. Opt for water boiled with ginger instead of cold water and avoid refined sugars, dairy products, alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, and fried foods.
How does diet affect PCOS?
A balanced diet plays a vital role in managing PCOS symptoms by regulating hormones and promoting overall health. By avoiding processed sugars and maintaining a healthy weight, you can alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of complications associated with PCOS.
Which foods should I limit or avoid with PCOS?
Limit intake of refined sugars, dairy products, alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, and fried foods as they can exacerbate PCOS symptoms by increasing Kapha and Vata dosha imbalance. Choosing whole, unprocessed foods can help maintain hormonal balance and effectively manage PCOS.
What is the primary treatment for PCOD?
Treatment for polycystic ovarian diseases would commonly follow a multidisciplinary approach where lifestyle modification shall be the primary intervention such as everyday yoga practice, a healthy diet, and deprivations on intake of milk and fast foods, to be combined with for maximum results by weight loss strategies, management of stress, with specific procedures in Ayurveda like Panchakarma (especially Vamana and Virechana) with specific herbal medications directed to hormone imbalance.
How is PCOD caused?
PCOD arises due to genetic predisposition and energy imbalance, leading to increased levels of androgens (male hormones). A sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress hamper ovarian function and metabolism, causing PCOD.
What happens if a girl has PCOS?
A girl with PCOS typically experiences various symptoms. Absence or irregular periods, weight gain (in almost 80% of patients), acne, male-pattern baldness, and fertility problems are associated with anovulation. They affect the quality of life considerably and can lead to long-term health complications if left unattended.
How can I solve my PCOD naturally?
PCOD can be managed naturally by making significant lifestyle changes, including dietary modifications such as consuming vegetables like ridge gourd and bitter gourd, avoiding high-glycemic foods, and limiting processed items. Some helpful home remedies for polycystic ovary disease include drinking fenugreek water, practicing specific yoga postures such as Suryanamaskara and Baddhakonasana, engaging in brisk walking for approximately 30 minutes daily, and practicing stress-relieving techniques like Pranayama.
Can PCOD be cured with Ayurveda?
Yes. Ayurveda treatment for PCOS and PCOD, along with dietary and lifestyle modifications, can help alleviate PCOS in its initial stages. The curability also depends on the patient's ability to adhere to the Ayurveda treatment and the chronicity of the condition. PCOS is a more complex condition and requires long-term management.
What is the fastest way to cure PCOD?
PCOD can be cured with proper intervention, along with diet and lifestyle changes. There is no quick fix.
Is shatavari good for PCOD?
Shatavari can be beneficial for patients suffering from lean PCOS. But always consult a qualified Ayurveda physician before starting any medication.
Can PCOD girls get pregnant?
Yes. Women with PCOD can become pregnant, but careful management and medical intervention may be necessary. Although PCOD might make it harder to conceive and cause irregular periods, pregnancy is still feasible with the right care.
