It is ideal, if you make it everyday. Refrigeration is against to Ayurveda principles.
Make only 30 ml and have it in the morning, in place of your regular tea, for a period of 3 months. After 3 months, you can stop it or continue based on your doctor’s advice.
It will help to an extent. But for PCOD, it is better to consult an Ayurvedic doctor directly.
A combination of Allopathic and Ayurvedic medicines to induce ovulation and to manage other complications like glucose intolerance etc works the best for PCOD.
So when following the recipe you end up with 100 ml of the remedy, that should be taken 30 ml per day. Is it ok to keep it in the fridge or should it be prepared every morning afresh?
I took 100 ml, because it is very easy to demonstrate.
Please prepare 30 ml, each day and have it, say, instead of your regular cup of tea. It is ideal to have it, when it is still lukewarm.
As per Ayurveda, it is not good to refrigerate and use it the next day.
this home remedie is use in the morning but can we use this only in periods or not?
You can use it during periods as well. No issues.

Hello doctor,
I have Ginseng that I purchased from South Korea about 8 years back. Can that be used in place of Ashwagandha?
It has crossed the shelf life. Please throw it away. Ashwagandha capsule / raw herb is not costly. Please buy fresh.
Can this reamedy can be continued after conception also?
Once after confirming pregnancy, it is best to avoid all Ayurveda medicines, just to be on the safer side.
