What Is PCOS/PCOD in Ayurveda?
In Ayurveda, PCOS/PCOD is primarily related to aggravated Kapha dosha and Vata imbalance affecting the reproductive system (Artavavahasrotas). Excess Kapha creates blockages in the ovaries while Vata disrupts hormonal flow. Poor digestion and toxin accumulation (Ama) further aggravate the condition. Ayurvedic treatment targets these root causes for comprehensive hormonal healing.
