Abstract :

According to the office on women�s health at the United States Department of Health and Human Services, over 5 million women suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). While there are conventional treatments that may help to combat some of the effects of PCOS, many women are seeking alternative therapies, including naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic treatments for PCOS include diet and lifestyle changes, supplementation of various vitamins, minerals and botanicals such as vitamin D, myo-insitol and berberine and investigation of other not so common organs and pathways that may contribute to PCOS including the adrenal glands and the gastrointestinal tract. Discussion of these topics will stem sources from PubMed as well as personal case reports.
