Detailed Information
Understanding PCOS
PCOS involves hormonal imbalance with elevated androgens, insulin resistance, and ovarian dysfunction. It manifests as irregular periods, acne, weight gain, excess hair growth, and fertility challenges. PCOS increases risk for Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and endometrial cancer.
How Hemp & CBD Can Help
Hemp seeds provide essential nutrients for PCOS management: zinc (supports ovarian function), omega-3 (reduces inflammation), and fiber (improves insulin sensitivity). GLA in hemp oil supports hormonal balance. CBD may help manage PCOS-related anxiety, sleep issues, and chronic inflammation.
Ayurvedic Perspective
Ayurveda views PCOS as a Kapha-Vata disorder involving Artavakshaya (menstrual dysfunction). Shatavari balances female hormones, Kanchanar Guggulu addresses cyst formation, Triphala supports metabolic function, and Lodhra helps regulate menstrual cycles. Virechana (therapeutic purgation) is recommended as Panchakarma intervention.
