Why PCOD?
Highlighting some of the main reasons for women having such problems, she attributes changes brought about due to modern lifestyle that lacks in physical exercise and activity combined with stressful jobs and long hours of work in one place.
All these result in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOD, she says.
Most of the time excessive bleeding are misdiagnoised as cancer and hence removal of the uterus is suggested by doctors, she says.

“Removal of the uterus is suggested only in the extreme case. A majority of those who undergo treatment can be cured within 3 to 6 months, depending on am individual body’s response,” adds Gowri.
She says that the roots, stem and seeds of peepal tree (Arali Mara) all have medicinal value and in about 75 per cent of cases women with uterus problems can be cured by the products of the tree. She has also formulated many Ayurvedic medicines on her own based on her 25 years research.
“Most of them who approach me are those who have undergone allopathic treatment and are not satisfied with the results. They come just to try out at first and later express their happiness after their treatment has been successful,” she says.
There are instances where women with problems related to the uterus have approached Gowri just a week prior to going under the knife that prevented them from unndergoing the painful procedure.
“Women should not ignore any minor changes in health, specially those who are above 40. Self mediciation and ignorance is very dangerous and leads to other problems, so the best solution is to get it cured at the initial stage. If they come in the initial stage they can be more benefited,” she says.
