Natural, Healing Approach to PCOS: Ayurveda & Functional Medicine
Hormonal balance, digestion, and dosha-specific support for PCOS.
In the UK alone it is thought that 1 in 5 women are suffering with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
SYMPTOMS
To be diagnosed with the condition you have to have 2 out of the 3 main presenting symptoms. This includes
Irregular cycles
Excess androgen – such as thick hair growth on the face and/or body
Polycystic ovaries
It is very common for young women to be diagnosed in their late teens when they start to notice the onset of symptoms. These can include a range of presentations including but not limited to:
Hair loss, oily skin and acne, excess weight, infertility, hirsutism
ANUJA’S APPROACH
Ayurveda understands PCOS to be a Kapha (earth and water) dominant dynamic which disrupts the natural function of Vata (air and ether) and Pitta (fire and water.)
Insulin resistance, estrogen dominance, hypothyroid function can all be considered Kapha imbalance conditions. By balancing the doshas specifically that are creating the imbalances in your unique condition can help you to regain control and health.
Digestive health plays a key role. Once food is well digested, it forms ahara rasa, of which artava (healthy menstrual flow) is said to be a by-product. Without optimal digestion, hormonal health and menstrual regularity will often be disrupted.
This is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. It is a personalised approach, combining Ayurvedic herbs, functional insight, and care tailored to your unique needs
