What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders. It’s a complex heterogeneous disorder of uncertain etiology, but there is strong evidence that it can be to a large degree be classified as genetic disease.

Other names for this syndrome include polycystic ovary disease, functional ovarian hyperandrogenism, ovarian hyperthecosis, and sclerocystic ovary syndrome and Stein-Leventhal syndrome.  In the present era the erratic lifestyle and diet, increased stress, strain and restlessness have resultantly expanded the spread of hormonal imbalance and menstrual disorders.

PCOS produces symptoms in approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age (12-45-year-old). It is thought to be one of the leading causes of female subfertility and the most frequent endocrine problem in women of reproductive age. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among the affected women.

AYURVEDIC VIEW ON PCOS

In Ayurveda this condition is not explained as a single disease entity, but given under the headings of Yonivyapat (genital disorders) and Artavadushti (menstrual disorders)

​​​

Vandhya (anovulation leading to infertility) arajaska, nashtartava, lohitakshaya, granthyaartava, ksheenaartava are some of the conditions explained in Ayurveda which simulate the clinical manifestation of PCOS.

Ayurvedic interpretation of disease goes in line with rasapradoshajavyadhi, santarpanotthavyadhi (disease which is derived from excessive nourishing agents like snigdha, madhura, guru, picchila, nava anna, nava madhya, cheshta dwesha, divaswapna, asana sukha) today’s era these causes can be compared with sedentary life style, junk food, improper work schedules, stress etc.

Ahara and vihar causing vata-kapha dushti and medo dushti will be the key factors causing the expression of the syndrome. PCOS is a disorder involving Pitta, Kapha, Medas, Ambhuvahasrotas & Artava Dhatu. Towards the complete manifestation of the disease we can infer the involvement of Vata dosha at its peak.

Case Study 1

​

A 31-year-old woman came to Reviving Rituals Ayurveda Center, struggling with PCOS symptoms, including weight gain, irregular periods, and excessive hair growth (hirsutism). Following her diagnosis, our Ayurvedic practitioners performed a detailed evaluation, focusing on her unique constitution and dosha imbalances—specifically, Kapha and Pitta doshas, which are commonly involved in PCOS symptoms.

​

Ayurvedic Assessment and Dosha Imbalance

In Ayurveda, PCOS is often attributed to an imbalance of Kapha (related to accumulation, sluggishness, and heaviness) and Pitta (associated with metabolism and hormonal control). Our assessment revealed that an excess of Kapha was causing weight gain and lethargy, while elevated Pitta contributed to issues with her menstrual cycle and skin-related symptoms.

​

Treatment Plan

To address these imbalances, we created a customized treatment plan involving:

  • Herbal Formulations: A blend of herbs like Shatavari (to regulate hormones), Ashoka (to support menstrual health), and Lodhra (for uterine health), all chosen for their properties in managing PCOS-related symptoms.

  • Uttar Basti Therapy: A cleansing therapy aimed at detoxifying the reproductive system and reducing inflammation.

  • Personalized Diet Plan: She was given a Kapha-Pitta balancing diet focused on light, easily digestible foods, reducing oily, spicy foods that aggravate Kapha and Pitta.

  • Lifestyle Modifications: Recommendations included daily exercise, mindfulness practices, and stress management techniques.

  • Shodhana (Detoxification): A detoxification process to help eliminate toxins and regulate metabolic functions.

 

Results and Benefits

After three months of consistent treatment, she experienced significant improvements:

  • Weight Management: Her weight stabilized as her Kapha levels balanced, and she found it easier to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

  • Regular Menstrual Cycles: Her periods became more regular, a positive effect of the combined influence of herbal medicines and lifestyle changes.

  • Reduced Hair Growth and Acne: The herbal formulations, along with dietary adjustments, contributed to a noticeable reduction in excessive hair growth and clearer skin.

  • Improved Mood and Energy: The holistic approach, including detoxification and lifestyle guidance, led to an overall boost in her energy levels and emotional well-being.

 

Conclusion

This case illustrates the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatment in addressing PCOS by focusing on individual dosha imbalances. By targeting her Kapha and Pitta imbalances, Reviving Rituals helped her manage her symptoms naturally, improve her quality of life, and achieve long-lasting health benefits.

Case Study: Ayurvedic Approach for PCOS and Neurological Symptoms

​

A 24-year-old woman visited Reviving Rituals following a grand-mal seizure that occurred during exercise. She presented with symptoms such as excessive tiredness, tremors, confusion, blurred vision, and perioral paraesthesia (numbness and tingling around the mouth). She also reported skin-related issues, including acne, seborrhea (excessive oiliness), and mild hirsutism (excessive facial hair growth), all commonly associated with PCOS.

​

Ayurvedic Assessment and Dosha Imbalance

Upon detailed examination, our Ayurvedic practitioners identified imbalances in her Vata and Pitta doshas. The Vata imbalance was likely contributing to her neurological symptoms, such as tremors, fatigue, and numbness, while excess Pitta was evident in her skin issues (acne and seborrhea) and menstrual irregularities.

​

Treatment Plan

Based on her symptoms and dosha assessment, the following treatment plan was devised:

  • Herbal Medications: A customized herbal combination was prescribed, including:

    • Brahmi and Ashwagandha to stabilize Vata and support the nervous system.

    • Shatavari and Ashoka to balance Pitta, support menstrual health, and alleviate PCOS symptoms.

  • Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations:

    • A Vata-Pitta pacifying diet with warm, nourishing foods, avoiding stimulants like caffeine that could exacerbate her neurological symptoms.

    • Regular, gentle physical activities such as yoga to enhance circulation and reduce Vata-related anxiety and stress.

  • Uttar Basti Therapy: A specialized Ayurvedic therapy to help cleanse and strengthen the reproductive system, also aiding hormonal balance.

  • Meditation and Pranayama: Incorporating relaxation techniques to calm the mind, reduce stress, and manage seizure-related neurological symptoms.

  • Detoxification (Shodhana): Mild cleansing therapies were recommended to help eliminate toxins, promoting both hormonal and mental balance.​

​

Results and Benefits

After four months of treatment, she observed the following improvements:

  • Stabilized Energy Levels: Her fatigue and tremors significantly reduced, allowing her to return to normal daily activities with better energy levels.

  • Reduction in Neurological Symptoms: She reported decreased frequency of numbness and tingling sensations around her mouth, and no further seizures occurred during this time.

  • Clearer Skin and Reduced Oiliness: Acne and seborrhea improved, which was a result of balancing Pitta and using Pitta-pacifying herbal treatments.

  • Menstrual Cycle Regularity: Her periods became more regular, supported by hormonal balance achieved through herbal formulations and Uttar Basti therapy.

​

Conclusion

This case demonstrates the power of a holistic Ayurvedic approach in treating complex cases with both PCOS and neurological symptoms. By targeting Vata and Pitta imbalances, the team at Reviving Rituals helped her manage her symptoms effectively, improving her physical and mental health and restoring her quality of life.
