TLDR Ayurvedic treatment helped reduce PCOS symptoms in a 19-year-old girl.
The document presents a case study of a 19-year-old girl with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a complex endocrine disorder characterized by symptoms such as irregular menstruation, weight gain, and hair loss. The study highlights the Ayurvedic approach to managing PCOS, which considers it a disorder of the three Doshas and involves the Rasa, Rakta, and Medas Dhatus, as well as the Rasa, Rakta, and Arthava vaha Srothas. The treatment principles used were Aamapachana (digestive correction), Vata anulomana (normalizing the flow of Vata), Kaphapittahara (balancing Kapha and Pitta), and Arthava janana (promoting menstruation). After two months of internal Ayurvedic medications, the patient's symptoms were markedly reduced, and her menstruation normalized, suggesting that adherence to Ayurvedic principles can be beneficial in managing PCOS.
