Effective Ayurveda Treatment for PCOS
( Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome )

Types of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) :-

There are mainly 4 classifications-

• Insulin resistant PCOS– This is the most common type of PCOS, caused by smoking, sugar, pollution, and trans fat. Here, high levels of insulin prevent ovulation and trigger the ovaries to create testosterone

• Post-pill PCOS– It gets developed due to the birth control pills which suppress ovulation. For most women, these effects do not last long and they resume ovulating after the effect of the pill is over. But some women do not resume ovulating for months and years even after the effects of pills get over

•  Adrenal PCOS – This occurs during a massive stressful period. Marked indicators are high levels of cortisol and DHEA. This is a rare case of PCOS

•  Inflammatory PCOS– In PCOS due to inflammation, ovulation is prevented, hormones get imbalanced and androgens are produced. Inflammation is caused due to stress, toxins of the environment, and inflammatory dietary factors like gluten.

• Impaired digestion- Untimely food taken in wrong quantity will result in impaired digestion. This will further result in many diseases. Because according to Ayurveda, food is considered as medicine. So one has to take food considering their digestive fire. Likewise, food should be taken only when you feel hungry. Hot and cold foods should not be mixed and taken etc.

• Irregular sleep pattern – Today’s generation has developed a habit of spending nights awake and sleeping late and waking up late. This will not provide necessary rest to body and mind, which will further hamper all the normal functions of the body.
