Women health: Ayurvedic remedies for PCOD
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), also known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition in women. 7%-12% of women in the age group 12–45 years across the globe suffer from it. The problem is affecting a large chunk of women due to many factors, majorly due to hormonal imbalances caused by lifestyle changes. It can cause problems with the menstrual cycle and make it difficult for them to conceive.
Several complications of PCOD include acne and pimples, excessive weight gain, and excessive hair on the body. Some women also show the symptoms of hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp. Depression, stress, and anxiety are also caused due to PCOD.
PCOD is a result of an imbalance of sex hormones:
Ovaries produce female sex hormones like Estrogen and Progesterone and male sex hormones like Testosterone in limited amount. During the menstrual cycle, these hormones assist in the natural production of eggs in the ovaries. PCOD is a result of an imbalance of these sex hormones.
Follicles contain eggs, with one or more eggs getting released during the menstrual cycle. In polycystic ovary disorder, the eggs in these follicles do not develop and are not released from the ovaries. Instead, they cause small cysts in the ovary, which is why they’re called polycystic ovaries.
PCOD tends to occur in families; if other women in the family have PCOD, the chances of getting it are higher. Ayurveda has an effective remedy for PCOD in its kitty. It is the world’s only medication scheme that helps in both prevention and cure. Vedas Cure being experts in Ayurveda keeps a strong focus on a person’s ‘Prakriti’ (constitution) and prescribes a comprehensive treatment plan to treat PCOD naturally.
