Fighting PCOD, Woman Makes Ayurvedic Mixes for Healthy Living; Earns Rs 2 Crore #IndiaNEWS #Entrepreneurs
How often do we hear our parents attribute a good lifestyle with healthy food habits and a proper sleep cycle, as a solution to most of our problems?
Quite often, 26-year-old Vibha Harish admits, whose life changed after having followed this mantra.
Vibha was in her late teens when she was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), a hormonal disorder quite common among Indian women. A young college student then, the struggle with PCOD and her quest to find a suitable treatment upended her life.
“My periods were irregular, I had severe acne and hair fall. I visited many doctors and opted for various treatments. But nothing helped,� says the Bengaluru resident, who was 18 at the time.
She wanted to get her PCOD under control and not the other way around, and, eventually, found a solution in this age-old wisdom.
“Within a few months of taking a herbal and ayurvedic approach to my lifestyle, I noticed a drastic change in my health. Even my PCOD was now under control,� says Vibha.
It was around the same time that she noticed many brands were offering wellness products that were fixated on providing a quick solution.
“For example, for acne, there were creams that solved the problem overnight. However, they were not focussed on providing an overall change in health and a long-term solution which would prevent the condition from recurring,� she adds.
She wanted to share with the world the alternative solution a wholesome approach that had helped her, and so decided to launch a business that offers herbal, plant-based products which are focussed on enhancing the body through nutrition.

Within a single year, her brand CosMix, clocked a turnover of Rs 2 crores and Vibha got featured in the Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 list, for her brilliant idea that has helped hundreds of women across India.
Herbal approach to health
In the initial months of struggling with PCOD, Vibha tried a number of solutions. She consumed a variety of medicines that offered immediate results. They helped improve her skin condition and even minimize hair fall, but all these positive outcomes were short lived, A few weeks later, the same problems would resurface.
“This took a toll on me and I felt there was no escape from PCOD. However, my mother, Rashmi Harish who is a homoeopathy doctor in Bengaluru suggested that I try an ayurvedic approach to my diet. At first, I was unsure about it and did not take her advice. But every day, my mother would add superfoods or herbs like ashwagandha or Shatavari into my food. Slowly, my skin began getting clearer and within a few months my periods were regular too,� says Vibha.
