PCOS & PCOD —
Hormones Rebalanced Naturally

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is not simply a reproductive problem. It is a metabolic, hormonal and emotional imbalance that Ayurveda has recognised and treated for thousands of years. We address it completely — not just the symptoms.

The Root Cause Approach

PCOS Is Not a Sentence.
It Is a Signal.

In Ayurveda, PCOS and PCOD are understood primarily as a Kapha-Vata imbalance with Ama accumulation affecting the Artava Vaha Srotas (reproductive channels). Excess Kapha creates sluggish metabolism, weight gain and cyst formation. Aggravated Vata disrupts the menstrual cycle and hormonal communication. Ama toxins block the channels that should carry hormones freely.

Modern medicine typically addresses PCOS with hormonal contraceptives and Metformin — managing symptoms while the underlying causes remain. Ayurveda works to clear the Ama, balance the doshas, restore Agni and re-establish the cyclical intelligence of the female body.

Our female Ayurvedic physician (available by request) conducts your initial assessment with complete privacy and sensitivity. Many guests see menstrual cycle regularisation within 6–8 weeks of beginning their home programme after returning from retreat.

🌸

Uttara Basti

Medicated oil or herbal decoction administered through the uterine channel — directly addressing the reproductive system, reducing cyst size and restoring ovarian function. Highly effective and deeply nourishing.

🔥

Virechana (Purgation)

Systematic elimination of Pitta toxins and Ama from the liver, blood and reproductive organs — a critical step in clearing the hormonal disruption at the root of PCOS.

🌿

Shatavari & Ashoka Protocol

Classical female reproductive tonics that nourish ovarian tissue, regulate oestrogen naturally and support the progesterone phase of the menstrual cycle. Personalised to your hormonal pattern.

🧘

Hormonal Yoga Sequence

Specific asanas targeting the endocrine glands — particularly the thyroid, adrenals and ovaries — combined with Pranayama to reduce the cortisol excess that drives many PCOS presentations.

Common PCOS Presentations

The Six Ways PCOS
Shows in Your Body

01

Irregular Cycles

Delayed, infrequent or absent menstruation — the most visible sign of Vata-driven disruption to the Artava Vaha Srotas. Menstrual regularisation is typically the first visible outcome of Ayurvedic treatment.

02

Weight Gain & Resistance

Insulin resistance and Kapha accumulation make conventional weight loss nearly impossible. Ayurvedic metabolic restoration creates a physiological environment where weight naturally normalises.

03

Acne & Skin Changes

Elevated androgens and Pitta imbalance manifesting in the skin. Blood-purifying Manjistha compounds and dietary adjustments typically resolve hormonal acne within 60–90 days.

04

Hair Loss & Hirsutism

Androgenic excess affecting hair follicles — thinning on the scalp and unwanted growth on the face and body. Addressed through Raktashodhana (blood purification) and anti-androgenic herbs.

05

Mood & Anxiety

The emotional dimensions of PCOS — anxiety, irritability, depression and emotional eating — are addressed directly through Sattvic protocols, Shirodhara and Medhya Rasayana herbal support.

06

Fertility Challenges

Anovulation and poor egg quality driven by PCOS are among the most treatable causes of female infertility in Ayurveda. Many guests conceive naturally within months of completing treatment.

Your Treatment Programme

Therapies in Your
PCOS Recovery Programme

01

Virechana Detox

Therapeutic purgation to systematically clear Pitta and Ama from the liver and blood — the single most important step in treating PCOS hormonally. Typically performed in days 5–7 of your programme after appropriate oleation preparation.

02

Uttara Basti

Localised medicated oil treatment to the uterus — reducing inflammation of the reproductive tissue, improving blood flow to the ovaries and creating conditions for follicular development and ovulation.

03

Basti Programme

A precisely sequenced course of Anuvasana (oil) and Kashaya (decoction) enemas — addresses Vata at its seat in the colon, with profound downstream effects on hormonal regulation and the menstrual cycle.

04

Herbal Hormone Protocol

Shatavari, Ashoka, Lodhra, Kumari (aloe), Triphala and personalised adaptogens — a complete endocrine restoration programme that continues as a home protocol after your retreat for 3–6 months.

05

Metabolic Yoga

Specific sequences targeting insulin sensitivity, adrenal function and ovarian blood flow — Surya Namaskar at therapeutic intensity, inversions, twists and hip openers prescribed specifically for your PCOS type.

06

Dietary Rebalancing

Kapha-reducing, Ama-clearing therapeutic nutrition — removing inflammatory foods, introducing metabolic spices (Trikatu, Turmeric, Fenugreek) and establishing meal timing that supports insulin sensitivity and hormonal rhythm.

Guest Stories

Restored. Rebalanced. Renewed.

I had PCOS for eight years. In that time I was put on the pill, then Metformin, then a fertility drug. My cycles remained irregular, my weight kept climbing and I was miserable. Vedanjana's programme — specifically the Virechana and the herbal protocol — changed everything. My period returned naturally after two cycles. Six months after returning home, I was pregnant.

The acne, the weight, the missing periods, the exhaustion — PCOS had taken so much from me. What surprised me most at Vedanjana was how much the diet changes alone shifted my symptoms within the first week. By the time I left after 14 days, my skin was already clearing. My testosterone levels at my follow-up appointment were the lowest they'd been in five years.

My gynaecologist told me I would never ovulate without medication. I came to Vedanjana as a last attempt before starting IVF. Three weeks of Uttara Basti, the complete herbal programme and the yoga protocol — I ovulated spontaneously on my third natural cycle. I cannot put into words what that meant to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I came primarily for the anxiety and mood swings that came with my PCOS. The emotional dimension of this condition is so under-recognised. Vedanjana treated the whole picture — the Shirodhara for my anxiety, the hormone protocol for the cycle irregularity and the diet for my weight. I left feeling like a different woman in the best possible way.
