  • Abstract:
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age and is associated with menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism, ovarian cysts, insulin resistance, and metabolic imbalance. Increasing prevalence of PCOS is closely linked to lifestyle changes, stress, and genetic factors. Conventional treatments mainly focus on symptomatic relief and may not address the underlying cause.Ayurveda approaches PCOS through holistic management by correcting dosha imbalance, improving digestion and metabolism, and eliminating toxins. This review highlights the role of Ayurvedic herbs such as Shatavari, Kanchanar, Triphala, Ashwagandha, Cinnamon, Fenugreek, Licorice, and Guduchi in supporting hormonal balance, regulating menstrual cycles, improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing fertility. Integration of herbal therapy with diet, lifestyle modification, yoga, and detoxification therapies offers a safe and sustainable approach for long-term management of PCOS.
