PCOS and Ayurveda. A holistic treatment approach 🫶

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a condition that impacts many women within society today.

From a western medicine perspective, many doctors say that PCOS is incurable. Ayurveda looks at the condition from a complex approach of identifying the root cause of the disease and focusing on the lifestyle, food and herbal formulations.

‼️ EARLY INTERVENTION IS KEY!

Lifestyle and diet are HUGE factors to diagnosis and increased prevalence in PCOS. Stress, high fat and sugar intake in addition to trauma can majorly contribute to physical disorders. Therefore we must first correct these aspects in order to provide healing 🙏🏼

Many of the symptoms of PCOS are related to a Kapha imbalance. Symptoms may include:
- Irregular menstural cycle 🩸
- Infertility
- Obesity
- Skin conditions
- Abnormal hair growth on various places of the body
- Ovarian cysts

From an Ayurvedic perspective, we would identify PCOS as a disease related to the Arthavahasrotas, channels of the female reproductive system. As a result of imbalance, an Avarana occurs, a blockage within the channels of the female reproductive system.
Kapha and meda dhatu need to be brought into balance to treat this condition. Meda dhatu is the adipose/fat tissues. Therefore weight management treatment is often included in Ayurvedic treatment of PCOS.

Lifestyle:
Dance, exercise, yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ Regularity in routine. Dance enhances the mood and is a great workout routine for anyone who is not encouraged by other physical exercise.

Food:
Food is critically important in a PCOS treatment program!

🚫 No white sugar, processed foods, caffeine, soy products and nightshades. Limit excessive salt and dairy products. Any foods that show tendencies to encourage blockages within the body and those that are heavy and oily should be avoided. Examples: curd in the evening, deep fried foods, nightshades etc.

Treatment 💆🏻‍♀️

Panchakarma treatment is best! The program would generally start with an Udvarthanam powder massage (as shown in the posts photo) Great for improving circulation, treating water retention and encouraging weight loss.

Have you considered booking an Ayurvedic consultation to find out more about your unique Ayurvedic body type? A great way to start your Ayurvedic journey.

What is your constitution? 🤔

“So, am I a Vata, Pitta or Kapha?” This is a question we often hear from curious clients. Also called Prakruti, your constitution represents the qualities in which you are born with.

Each of us has a unique mixture of Vata, Pitta and Kapha dosha. These doshas are made up of the five elements, called panchamahabhutas. The elements include ether, air, fire, water and earth. The combination of the elements make up everything in nature and shape our bodies - if we are tall, short, thin, strong, colour of eyes, strength of hair, etc.🌺☘️🌳

Vata dosha is made up of ether (space) and air elements.💨

Pitta dosha is made of fire and water elements.🔥

Kapha dosha is made of earth and water elements.💧

Our Prakruti is determined at the time of conception. Many people confuse their Prakruti with their Vikruti, which is a current imbalance. At times, an individual lives with an imbalance for so long that they identify themselves with that imbalance - the imbalance becomes their norm.

It is important to note that many people are incorrect in their self-diagnosed prakruti analysis. This is why it is important to speak with an Ayurvedic Practitioner before you start implementing changes and Ayurvedic herbs to your lifestyle.

If you are interested in learning about your constitution, we offer a free constitution questionnaires at the clinic. More information is also available in our Ebook. You are welcome to call/text ‪0406 810 547‬ for further information. We look forward to welcoming you at Lakshmi Ayurveda!

An initial Ayurvedic consultation is a perfect way to start your Ayurvedic journey 💗

Today we had one of our beautiful clients come in for “Akshi Tarpana” treatment. Have you heard of it before?
It is an eye treatment, unique to Ayurveda where the eyes are bathed in medicated ghee 🙏

The ghee nourishes and strengthens the entire structure of the eyes 💪🏼. The treatment is very beneficial to protect and prevent degeneration. It is also indicated in the following conditions: Dry eyes, squinting, losing eye lashes, ophthalmological conditions, optic nerve atrophy, eye strain 👩🏻‍💻(computer work, air condition, heaters), macular degeneration and drooping of the eye lids.

How is the treatment performed?

To start, a gentle head, eyes and face massage is performed 💆‍♀️. After the massage, a frame of dough is placed around both eyes. The frame is then filled with medicated ghee. Once the eyes are covered with the ghee, the patient does some eyes exercises including opening and closing the eyes, and circular movements before the ghee is removed. Finally, Dhumapana (or herbal smoke inhalation) is performed, this helps to clear any lingering heaviness or ghee residue in the eyes 👀

Although there may be a slight stinging sensation during the treatment (similar to opening your eyes under water), your eyes will feel so soothed nourished and afterwards. A sense of clarity in the mind also follows 😌😇

You will be advised to avoid the sun ☀️, wind, a draft, busy/ noisy places, shower …… and looking at bright objects (phone/ computer) after completing the treatment. Best to plan the treatment on a day you are off work 👀

To book in for a Tarpana treatment, you are welcome to call 0406 810 547. A consultation is required before treatment to ensure it is suitable for you.

🛑don’t heat honey, don’t cook or bake with honey
🛑don’t use ghee and honey in equal quantities

👇👇👇

From an Ayurvedic perspective, honey or Madhu is Sanskrit is widely used for to its healing properties. It is included in many Ayurvedic formulations - some of which we make here in the Lakshmi Kitchen such as our popular ashwagandha lehyam we made yesterday 🍯🐝

Honey has a scraping action, called lekhana in Ayurveda. This makes it suitable for those desiring weight loss, as it helps to scrape accumulated toxins and fat. It is also known for its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.

A few Honey tips for you:

Honey should never be heated. Don’t bake or cook with honey!
When adding honey to your tea make sure to wait until the tea is cooled to drinking temperature. Heating honey will destroy the nutritional benefits including the amino acids, enzymes and minerals. Take our Lakshmi Made Ashwagandha Lehyam for example. Honey is a crucial part of the formulation but is added at the end after the herbal jam has cooled to a proper temperature.

Use Raw honey. Local is best!🐝🐝🐝🫶

🐝If you suffer from allergies and rhinitis, honey mixed with cinnamon can be a powerful and simple home remedy. Take 1 tsp of honey with 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder followed by warm water.

🐝Honey can be added to a face mask to help encourage healing of scars, inflammation and acne.
You can apply a layer of honey externally to cuts, wounds and sores to promote healing.🐝

🐝Honey, lemon and ginger water taken in the morning on an empty stomach is a great way to aid detoxification.

🛑✋Avoid taking honey and ghee together at equal weight. The classical Ayurvedic texts inform us that he equal proportions taken together are recognized as toxic for the body.

Although honey is beneficial for weight loss, it is advised not to take in excess.

Were you aware about the fact not to heat honey? 🍯
We would love to hear 👇👇👇

With love Karin and the Lakshmi Team 🍯💛💛💛
