Empower Yourself with Ayurveda: Managing PCOS Naturally

 

Ayurvedic Treatment for PCOS

Ayurvedic medicine, also known as Ayurveda, is a whole body treatment method developed in India three thousand years ago. It is one of the world’s oldest holistic therapies, based on the belief that balance of mind, body and spirit brings health and wellbeing.

Some women who have a diagnosis of a condition such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) may reconcile to Ayurveda.

 

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal condition, usually seen in women in a reproductive state of life. Typical are high levels of androgen (male hormones) or a woman’s menstrual cycles being out of normal or prolonged rhythm.

With PCOS your ovaries can make follicles (small fluid filled places) but they can’t release eggs in a regular rhythm.

Typically, Ayurvedic treatment for PCOS includes herbs, treatments, and diet.

PCOS Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment

Though the Ayurvedic treatment of PCOS varies with different practitioners, there is some use of some herbs to maintain hormonal balance. These include:

Ashwagandha - Indian ginseng or winter cherry is a herb also known as Ashwagandha. A research of 52 people with chronic stress in 2016 discovered that cortisol levels can be balanced, stress and symptoms of PCOS can be reduced.

Cinnamon – Cinnamon isn’t just a spice to add to baked products, it’s a spice, and a small 2007 study has found that it can help to reduce insulin resistance in PCOS. However, it seems that there is some evidence that cinnamon can help to regulate menstrual periods in PCOS women, according to a 2014 study of 45 women.

Turmeric - The yellow color of turmeric is due to the active compound, curcumin. And, curcumin was shown to have potential as an anti-inflammatory drug and a way to lower insulin resistance in a 2017 study involving mice with PCOS.
