Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS is a major problem that leads to menstrual irregularity, infertility, sub-fertility, unwanted hair in the face, dark pigmentation, hair loss, persistent acne etc. Also, it leads to insulin resistance and high levels of testosterone in the female body, which makes PCOS an extremely difficult condition to deal with. Ayurveda treats PCOS holistically. Each patient requires an individualistic treatment plan to cure the disease from within. The aim of Ayurvedic treatment is to balance the doshas and boost metabolism. Ayurveda also helps in weight loss gradually, rather than a sudden decrease in body mass.

Benefits of using Ayurveda in treating PCOS patients

  1. Detoxification of the whole body and treat the disease from within.
  2. Revitalizing and strengthening the female reproductive system to regularize the menstrual cycle.
  3. Balance the hormones and prevent any condition, that could trigger diseases related to hormones.
