How a Young Woman Overcame PCOD Symptoms with Homeopathy and Emotional Support
A few months ago, I received a call from an old friend asking for help. One of her young staff members was experiencing severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation and had irregular periods. Concerned, she took her to a nearby hospital where an ultrasound scan revealed bilateral polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) — also commonly referred to as PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
Since the young woman was just 22 years old and staying far from home for the first time, her emotional state was quite fragile. My friend arranged a conference call so I could assess the case in more detail.
Case Overview
The patient had been working in a demanding job for four months, often skipping meals and delaying restroom breaks due to her workload. She felt anxious, homesick, and emotionally overwhelmed.
After further inquiry, I discovered the following symptoms:
- Frequent headaches, mood swings, tiredness, and constipation
Irregular menstrual cycles for over a year, often delayed
Severe lower abdominal pain during the first two days of menstruation
Heavy menstrual bleeding
Recent weight gain (5–6 kg over 3–4 months)
Homeopathic Approach to PCOD Treatment
The primary challenge was treating her remotely, as she lived in a different state and follow-ups would be limited. Given her age, stress levels, and hormonal imbalance, I decided to use a logical homeopathic prescription approach.
I selected:
- Pulsatilla 10M – a trusted homeopathic remedy known for addressing hormonal imbalances, especially in emotional, sensitive individuals. I sent a single high-potency dose in powder form.
- Apis Mellifica 30 – to address ovarian inflammation, taken twice daily.
- Silicea 6X – for long-term support in hormonal regulation and detoxification, also twice daily.
I couriered a two-month supply of the medicines.
The Results: A Natural Healing Journey
After completing the course, she underwent another ultrasound in the third month, and to everyone’s surprise and relief, her PCOS had resolved completely. The scan showed normal ovarian function.
Most of her symptoms had disappeared, including irregular periods, pain, and fatigue. However, she still complained of occasional lower abdominal discomfort. Based on her symptoms, I suspect a chronic urinary tract infection (UTI), and have advised her to do a urine routine test and urine culture, for which results are awaited.
Key Takeaway: Homeopathy and Hormonal Health
This case isn’t just about a successful homeopathic treatment for PCOS; it highlights a deeper truth — that emotional stress and lifestyle factors play a critical role in hormonal health.
Modern studies increasingly show that chronic stress can trigger or worsen many lifestyle disorders. Conditions like PCOS are now recognized as psychosomatic in nature — where emotional distress impacts physical health, especially hormonal regulation.
Stress activates the HPA axis (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis) and the SAM axis (Sympathetic-Adrenal-Medullary axis), disrupting hormonal balance over time.
What makes homeopathy uniquely effective is its ability to address not just physical symptoms, but also the underlying emotional and psychological causes — leading to a more holistic and lasting cure, especially when initiated earl
Final Note: Individualized Treatment is Key
Please remember that every case is unique, and what worked for this young woman may not be suitable for everyone. Always consult a qualified homeopath for a proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.
