In Ayurveda, PCOD and PCOS are associated with imbalances in the Kapha Dosha, which governs structure and lubrication, and Vata Dosha, which regulates movement and flow. Excess Kapha leads to stagnation, weight gain, and cyst formation, while aggravated Vata disrupts hormonal balance and menstrual cycles. Ayurvedic treatments focus on detoxification, balancing doshas, and enhancing metabolic and reproductive health.
