Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disturbance affecting women between 15 to 30 years of age. The disorder accounts for 30 per cent of all infertility cases with 73 percent of women suffering from PCOS experiencing infertility due to anovulation. Modern medicine has been able to pinpoint a number of important factors indicating the disease determinants however the exact cause of the disease is unknown.
According to Ayurveda, PCOS can be caused due to an imbalance of any of the three doshas (Ayurvedic humors), the prime ones being Pitta (Fire) and Kapha (Water). Aggravated Pitta causes contamination of the dhatus (tissues) like rasa (nutrient plasma) and rakta (blood). This further causes accumulation of ama (toxins) in the weaker channels of the body.
In the case of PCOS patients, these toxins get accumulated in the manovahi strotas (channels of the mind), leading to an imbalance of hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. This condition results in imbalance of female hormones and increase in Kapha, which causes formation of ovarian cysts (collection of fluids within an ovary), anovulatory periods (no ovulation) and other symptoms.
As part of our treatment, we administered cleansing herbal formulas to remove accumulated toxins from the manovahi strotas and balance the hormones. This was followed by the use of Pitta and Kapha pacifying herbs in order to facilitate the cyst-breaking process, and aid in normalizing the cycle of ovulation and menstruation.
