TLDR Combining Ayurveda and Yoga effectively manages PCOS and improves reproductive health.
The paper discusses the role of Ayurveda and Yoga in managing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Conventional treatments for PCOS often have side effects, prompting interest in holistic alternatives. Yoga, through practices like Asanas, pranayama, and meditation, helps reduce stress and balance hormones. Ayurveda offers specific formulations such as Rajahpravartini Vati and Kanchanar Guggulu to regulate hormonal balance and improve reproductive health. A daily 30-minute Yoga practice can aid in weight management and stress reduction, stabilizing hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian function, thus highlighting the efficacy of an integrated approach in restoring hormonal balance and enhancing reproductive health.
