Abstract
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a disease in which women struggle with imbalanced hormones. The endocrine system works very closely with nervous system. As the nervous system is primarily related to the Vata dosha- the humour of movement- much of the hormonal function relates to Vata. PCOS is the most common endocrinopathy in reproductive age resulting severe irregularity in menses, hair loss, acne, weight gain, hirsutism, diabetic tendencies, depression, mood swings and subfertility also. Ayurveda classifies PCOS as a Kapha disorder, Kapha having first affects in Jatharagni to affect the metabolic aspect of the seven tissues called Dhatu agni. Each Dhatu agni is responsible for the nourishment and formation of that particular tissue that it resides in. In case of PCOS, Rasa dhatu (lymph and plasma), Meda dhatu (adipose tissue) and Aartava- Upadhatu of Rasa. Aam entering the cells of Aartava, begins to affect the cellular intelligence of the cell, causing error in cellular function and intelligence. Mistake of cellular intelligence is also expressed in the inhibiting of apoptosis means death of defective cells. Though it is very challenging disorder, ayurveda has a wide range of phytosterols to strengthen ovarian functions. Kuberaksha vati is one of them, giving very encouraging results on PCOS.
