Natural, Healing Approach to PCOS: Ayurveda & Functional Medicine
PCOS isn’t just a hormonal condition, it’s a full-body imbalance that affects how you feel, think, eat, bleed, sleep, and process the world.
It’s often diagnosed late, misunderstood, or dismissed with vague advice: “just lose weight,” “go on the pill,” or “try to manage your stress.”
But for many women, PCOS carries a much deeper story, one of inflammation, insulin resistance, emotional burnout, irregular cycles, skin issues, fatigue, or the silent grief of not knowing if your body can ever find its rhythm again.
In my practice, we don’t treat PCOS as a label, we explore what’s beneath it.
In Ayurveda, PCOS can reflect an imbalance of Kapha and Vata, a sluggish Agni (digestive fire), and disturbed Rasa and Artava dhatus (plasma and reproductive tissues). Cysts, irregular ovulation, or absent periods often arise from a body holding on too tightly, protecting what it no longer trusts.
In Functional Medicine, we see PCOS through the lens of insulin resistance, androgen excess, gut dysbiosis, chronic stress, and impaired detoxification. Often, it’s not just about the ovaries—it’s about the entire hormonal web: blood sugar, cortisol, thyroid, and inflammation all playing a role.
Through the karmic and emotional lens, PCOS often emerges in women who feel they must hold it all together. There may be ancestral patterns of self-sacrifice, survival mode, or a disconnection from feminine flow. The body’s refusal to cycle becomes a deeper call inward: “Can I soften? Can I receive? Can I trust my own rhythm?”
If you’re experiencing irregular or missing periods, acne, weight struggles, hair thinning, mood swings, or fertility challenges, your body is not broken. It’s adaptive. It’s protective. And it’s asking to be understood.
