Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS / PCOD)
Hormonal Balance & Natural Ovulation Care
PCOS is a common hormonal and metabolic condition affecting women of reproductive age. Our natural Ayurvedic treatments focus on regulating cycles, restoring ovulation, and supporting fertility.
What is PCOS / PCOD?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), commonly called PCOD, is a hormonal and metabolic condition affecting approximately 10–13% of women of reproductive age worldwide. It can influence menstrual cycles, ovulation, androgen levels, fertility, weight, and metabolic health.
Importantly, PCOS is manageable through lifestyle, dietary, and natural Ayurvedic therapies, and many women with PCOS conceive naturally with appropriate care.
