Understanding Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within the ovaries. While most cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some can cause pain, bleeding, or other symptoms. In Ayurveda, ovarian cysts are viewed as an imbalance in the reproductive system that can be effectively managed through natural therapies, hormonal balance, and lifestyle modifications.

Ayurvedic View of Ovarian Cysts
In Ayurveda, ovarian cysts are primarily considered a Kapha disorder with Vata involvement, leading to the formation of abnormal growths in the reproductive system. The treatment focuses on balancing doshas, cleansing reproductive channels, improving tissue quality, and restoring hormonal balance through natural therapies.
Dosha Imbalance
Kapha accumulation combined with Vata disturbance creates the environment for cyst formation and growth in ovarian tissues.
Channel Blockage
Blockage in Artavavaha Srotas (reproductive channels) leads to accumulation of fluids and formation of cystic structures.
Toxins Accumulation
Accumulation of Ama (toxins) in reproductive tissues combined with hormonal imbalances promotes cyst development.
