  • Abstract:
  • Ayurveda, the science of life, emphasizes maintaining health and restoring well-being. To balance the body's three doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) and ensure proper digestion and metabolism, Ayurveda recommends a daily regimen called Dinacharya. Modern lifestyles, characterized by their fast-paced nature and lack of balance, have contributed to a rise in lifestyle disorders. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one such condition affecting a significant portion of young women in India. Ayurvedic texts correlate PCOS with Artava Kshaya, a disorder primarily associated with Vata and Kapha. PCOS often referred to as the "mother of all lifestyle disorders," is characterized by irregular menstruation, excessive hair growth and obesity, often linked to enlarged ovaries. While the exact cause remains elusive, hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance and genetic factors have been implicated. Sedentary lifestyles, poor diet and stress can also contribute. By adopting lifestyle modifications that address Vata and Kapha imbalances while promoting Pitta, Ayurvedic principles can offer a holistic approach to managing PCOS without the potential side effects of conventional treatments.
