Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a leading women's health issue that the population is talking about today. Research indicates that this disorder is likely to occur to a woman almost one in ten people. PCOS doesn't just mean irregularity in periods or formation of ovarian cysts alone, it is a multifaceted hormonal, genetic, metabolic and reproductive disorder that can hamper fertility, affect body weight and skin condition, change the mood and also affect the way insulin works. Due to its wide effects, the majority of those impacted turn to other ways besides usual therapy to help them manage the symptoms as well as their general state of health.

The first line of treatment in PCOS is usually symptom control through diet and exercise, medication and surgery if needed. Though these methods are efficient in dealing with the problems of, for instance, irregular cycles, or insulin resistance, they do not always correct the root causes behind the recurrent symptoms . As a result, many women are now turning to energy-based therapies as a possible way to receive a complete care of mind and body.

One such energy based healing  is Pranic Healing. It is a no-touch, no-drug therapy which is based on the concept that the body's energy system, called prana or life force, is the major determinant of the physical and emotional parts of the body. In this system, the process of congestion, depletion, or blockage of the energy field, resulting in a gradual manifestation of ailments, is attributed. The process of cleansing by the practitioners is a complete removal of contaminated energy while simultaneously infusing fresh prana into areas of the body thus achieving balance and reactivating the body's self-healing mechanism.

Hormonal balance plays a key role in PCOS, as in Pranic Healing, it is correlated to the sacral chakra (located below the navel). The sacral chakra is known to be associated with reproductive health in females; therefore when there is blockages, or low depletion of clean energy in the sacral chakra, it may contribute to alterations in menses and/or ovarian pain. 

A plan for a Pranic Healing protocol for PCOS would typically start with cleansing energy to remove congested energy around the area, and then subsequently to energize with fresh prana to restore energy balance and vitality. Some practitioners of Pranic Healing combine this with Pranic Psychotherapy to remove any stress and/or negative thought patterns which may be affecting the symptoms experienced by the client. Generally speaking, the healing process is gradual in nature, and practitioners encourage regular follow-up sessions to help with the process of healing to feel complete relief from the symptoms  since clients may not notice immediate benefits from the healing session . 

Additionally, diet, stress and physical activity have such a strong influence on the condition of PCOS, healing programs also focus on lifestyle changes. Clients are stimulated to take up balanced nutrition, regular exercise, good sleep and stress-relief methods like Pranic Breathing. When vigorous work is brought together with these concrete habits, a large number of women state that they get permanent improvements and are able to take charge of their health.

Besides the physical symptom relief, Pranic Healing is also highly regarded because of its positive effect on the emotional sphere. The women who go through the sessions often enjoy a decrease in their stress and anxiety levels, improved mood and a higher degree of self-confidence. Specifically, Pranic Psychotherapy aids in the release of emotional imprints which results in the establishment of healthy mental patterns and lessens the effect of chronic stress on the body.

The degree of success of Pranic Healing is subject to the individual case, the extent of PCOS, and the regularity of the sessions. More than the exercise, or change in diet, the value of consistency in practice is underlined to facilitate meaningful development. Most importantly, Pranic Healing is intended to be a supplementary treatment, thus, it does not replace other contemporary treatments. Women are advised to continue taking medical treatments as usual and use energy healing as an alternative to refresh and promote recovery and overall well-being.

For the women who want a soft and natural method of handling PCOS, Pranic Healing is the way to go as it is an approach that includes the physical body and energy body . The program, through chakra balancing, emotional release, and lifestyle changes not only relieves symptoms but also assists in the development of emotional stability and the feeling of oneness with oneself. This is how recovery is not only a physical one, but it is also a practice in equilibrium and empowerment.
