ABSTRACT

The most delicate, complicated, and magnificent creation of God for mankind is the woman, who is as beautiful as nature. A girl's life becomes more complete when she matures into a woman and becomes a mother. In contrast to men, women are more susceptible to illnesses that affect their reproductive systems. POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN DISEASE (PCOD) is one such illness. A condition known as PCOD is linked to ovarian cystic abnormalities. The follicles originate from primordial follicles, but due to disrupted ovarian function, the development halts at an early antral stage. PCOD shows up clinically in a variety of ways. Amenorrhoea/Oligomenorrhoea, Hirsutism, Alopecia, Acne, and Acanthosis nigricans. The primary disease that causes the majority of the alterations in PCOD is anovulatory. In Ayurveda, PCOD is treated as Rasa Medo Dhatu Vikara and must be controlled. This ailment and a few others in Ayurveda, including Yoni Vyapad, Puspghani Jataharini, Nashtartav, and Aartavadushti, share several characteristics. In Ayurveda, the specific or precise illness is not explained. It involves a Dosha, Dhatu, and Updhatu imbalance, which means that various variables operating at various levels are implicated. Therefore, following Dincharya & Ritucharya, Nidaan-Parivarjana, Samshodhana Aaganeya, & Artavajanan Dravyas is a potential course of treatment. With the use of different Ayurvedic herbal and mineral formulations, Panchakarma, together with dietary and lifestyle changes, we can design Ayurvedic treatment. which can be carefully applied in order to treat PCOS/PCOD and any related issues.
