I'm 27 and have been dealing with PCOD for the last three years, but in the past six months, my hair loss has gotten really bad. I've heard Ayurveda has some treatments that might help. Are there any specific oils or shampoos in Ayurveda that could help with hair regrowth within a month?

there is no such recorded evidence for those medicines, in PCOS hair loss is due to androgen effect ,there are treatment modalities to stop hairfall and improve hair growth for a better result visit your dermatologist for appropriate management.
