29-Sep-2020
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is an ovary malfunction in females where small cysts start growing on the ovaries. These cysts are not hazardous or life-threatening, but yes, they can cause problems if not taken care of. The cysts cause ovaries in females to secrete hormones, especially androgen, in excess. The hormonal release causes changes in the female body that are unwanted and irritating.
In Ayurveda, PCOS has been connected to Aarthva Kshaya. The symptoms of the ailment vary from person to person but generally facial hair growth and develop male characteristics. Also, the person experience sudden weight gain, hair thinning, becomes sluggish and often mood swings.
Though PCOD/PCOS can be problematic, yet it can be relieved through Ayurvedic treatments. It is recommended to practice detoxification, also known as Virechana karma in Ayurvedic terms. Uttarbasti treatment is also seen helpful. Along with these lifestyle modifications will also be required.
- Better lifestyle through Yoga
Exercise is the best way to reverse the PCOD/PCOS problem. You can go for morning walks as well or practice alternate Nasal breathing, also known as Pranayam. The exercises should also proceed steadily; that is, the pace and intensity should be increased gradually.
The person suffering from PCOD/PCOS often gains weight, which is difficult to cut down. Hence, you should not worry much about weight loss as that would take a long time. Meanwhile, the exercises and yoga should be focused around the lower abdomen to cut down belly fat.
