The Silent Epidemic Among Women
In today’s fast-paced, high-stress lifestyle, PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) has become an almost routine diagnosis. Shockingly, every second woman in urban India shows signs of PCOD—irregular periods, unwanted hair growth, acne, mood swings, and fertility issues.
What was once considered rare is now affecting girls as young as 14 and women well into their 30s and 40s.
But why is it so common now?
And why do so many women feel stuck in a never-ending loop of pills and side effects?
To answer this, we must compare Allopathy and Ayurveda’s approach to PCOD.
The Allopathic Understanding of PCOD
Allopathy classifies PCOD as a hormonal disorder caused by an imbalance in reproductive hormones, particularly elevated androgens (male hormones) and insulin resistance.
Common Treatments Include:
- Oral Contraceptive Pills – to regulate periods
- Anti-Androgens – to control acne and facial hair
- Metformin – for insulin resistance
- Fertility drugs – for women trying to conceive
While these treatments may give temporary relief, they do not address the root cause.
Side Effects and Long-Term Impacts:
- Weight gain and bloating
- Nausea, breast tenderness
- Mood disturbances and anxiety
- Irregular withdrawal bleeding (not true periods)
- Fatty liver and metabolic syndrome
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Infertility and early menopause
Women are often told PCOD “can’t be cured”—only “managed.” But what if we’re looking at the problem from the wrong lens?
The Ayurvedic View on PCOD
Ayurveda sees PCOD not just as a reproductive issue, but a systemic imbalance of the body’s doshas, mainly Kapha and Vata, along with a weakened Agni (digestive fire).
When toxins (ama) accumulate and block bodily channels (srotas), especially those related to reproduction (Artava vaha srotas), it results in hormonal imbalance, cyst formation, and irregular ovulation.
Ayurveda says: “Don’t treat the disease. Treat the imbalance.”
Ayurvedic Treatment for PCOD
At Anammyaa Wellness, we follow a holistic, threefold path:
1. Shodhana (Detox / Panchakarma):
- Virechana (purgation therapy)
- Basti (medicated enemas)
- Udvartana (herbal dry massages)
These therapies clear toxins, balance hormones, and restore natural cycles.
2. Shamana (Balancing with Herbs):
Herbs that nourish, regulate and detoxify include:
- Shatavari – balances estrogen, improves fertility
- Ashoka & Lodhra – regulate menstrual flow
- Triphala – supports digestion & detox
- Guggulu – helps with cyst reduction and weight balance
- Guduchi – boosts immunity and regulates metabolism
3. Ahara & Dinacharya (Diet & Lifestyle):
Daily routines, mindful eating, sleep hygiene, and emotional stability are non-negotiable in Ayurveda.

Final Words from Ashma Khanna – Anammyaa Wellness
PCOD is your body’s way of asking for balance, not a curse or punishment.
Allopathy may offer quick fixes, but often at the cost of long-term wellness.
Ayurveda gently works at the root level—balancing the mind, body, and hormones naturally.
With over 25 years of healing women through Ayurvedic protocols, we at Anammyaa Wellness have seen what modern medicine cannot offer—reversal, resilience, and rebirth.
Remember: Your cycle is not just a calendar event. It is your fifth vital sign. When it’s in harmony, everything else flows.
