Thanks for contacting the Ayurveda section of (A)YUSH and after reviewing your health query I'm of the following opinion:

i. As you are suffering from PCOS, do let me know about the following:

. Duration of suffering from the same?

. have you taken or advised for taking birth control pills?

Brief Answer:
further necessary information

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for reverting back and after following your given parameters, I’m of the following opinion:

i. As PCOS is because of low metabolism, thus please check with your Thyroid Profile and Blood sugar level [which are most of the time abnormal in PCOS]

PS. because PCO[S] implies [s]yndrome whereas PCO[D] implies [d]isease thus both have to be checked, also let me know whether PCOS is primary or secondary to some disease [opinion of gynecologist]?

ii. Before commencing further, do consult with your Gynecologist regarding your PCOD profile, who might ask for Ultrasonography of Abdomen to check with any accompaniments of PCOD and might go for hormonal tests.

PS. Acne, unwanted facial hairs, irregular periods all are associated features with PCOS

iii. Because PCOS affect Ovulation so do check with your Doctor for Medications, till then

. AVOID: refined carbohydrates (packed cereals, white bread-rice-flour,pasta, cakes ,biscuits, sugar, honey, fruit juice concentrates, starch,watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple,potato,carrots,dried fruits,ice cream,chocolates,jellies, pizza), fatty food,curd,late night work,milk,mustard oil,cabbage,soybean.

.TAKE: fresh green vegetables,whole grains,olives,soy products,whole legumes (peas,beans,lentils),brown rice,oatmeal,barley, green gram, saindhav [rock salt] Lavan, tandulodak [rice gruel],coconut water,vegetable soups.

iv. since PCOS is due to low metabolism (digestive fire) thus medicine will work/ function by increasing the Metabolism by acting as:
. XXXXXXX [appetizers],
. pacahana [digestion],
. ushna [hot],
. tekshna [sharp],
. sukshma [subtle],
. lekhana drugs [anti obese and anti kapha/fat] and thus reducing the symptoms.

PS. We do prepare natural Ayurveda medicine for such pathology which is non-hormonal and free from any adverse drug reaction or side effects. If interested I can courier you the medicine through XXXXXXX Postal service [which I’m doing already to a number of the overseas patient], [In Ayurveda we call it ARTVA VAHA SROTO DUSHTI [Blocked channels], and provide medicine along with certain yogic exercises like Simhasan, Vajrasan, Shalabhasan, Sarvangasana.

v. Calculating your BMI [body mass Index] according to your Age, Height, Weight, and Sex: it comes out to be: 46.34 kg/m2
. Normal BMI range is: 18.5 kg/m2 – 25 kg/m2 [ Your’s: 46.34 kg/m2]
. Weight according to height: 107.8 lbs – 145.6 lbs [Yours: 270]… i.e. you will need to lose 124.4 lbs to reach a BMI of 25 kg/m2

PS. In Ayurveda we usually helps in speeding up the person in a healthy, natural way like: with exercise, supplements, and use of diet which helps control Vata and at the same time relieves the system of excess Kapha and most important feature of Obesity which I’ve judged is the abundance of negativity in your mind about the same [as ‘feeling ashamed’ in history], your goal should be to transform yourself, not to lose weight. Reducing your weight is a part of self – a transformation which occurs automatically, remember Fat is an essential Dhatu and is good for you, in the proper amount. Hatred of Fat is self – hatred, so forget about Fat and think about recreating yourself.

Do let me know about any clarifications and regarding medicine(s)
