Abstract
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting womens of reproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalance, irregular menstruation, and metabolic issues. Many researchers have studied polycystic ovarian disease and found that there is no proper cause of that, it may occur due to hormonal imbalance or stress, or due to a sedentary lifestyle. The rate of polycystic ovarian disease in Indian women has been increasing rapidly. The symptoms include acne, weight gain, hirsutism, difficulties in fertility, irregular or infrequent periods, immature ovarian eggs that do not ovulate, multiple cysts in the ovary. If left untreated, it may become the cause for heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension, infertility, and even cancer. There are varieties of medical treatments available to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome but they have a temporary effect and if taken for a long time then it may lead to serious side effects while modern medicine focuses on symptomatic treatment, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach grounded in Swasthavritta
— the science of health preservation —which incorporates daily regimen (Dinacharya), seasonal regimen (Ritucharya), diet (Aahara), conduct (Aachara), and most importantly, Yoga. This article explores how Yoga, as an integral part of Swasthavritta, contributes to the prevention and management of PCOD by balancing Doshas, regulating metabolism (Agni), and promoting mental well-being
