Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), also known as Polycystic Ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a very common condition affecting 5% to 10% of women in the age group 12–45 years. It is a problem in which a woman’s hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with menstrual periods and make it difficult for her to conceive.

Ayurveda, on the other hand has a permanent cure for PCOD. It is also the only medicine system in the world to be preventive as well as curative. The only factor is the length of treatment will vary depending on how chronic is the PCOD level and size of ovary.
