Abstract

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a neuroendocrine metabolic disorder characterized by an irregular menstrual cycle. In this current cram, we discuss the significance of herbal remedies in the treatment of PCOS, and the chemical composition, mechanism of action, and therapeutic application of selected herbal drugs against PCOS. Herbal drugs have a promising role in treatment and efficient management of PCOS. We have reviewed various key medicinal herbs and come up with a unique polyherbal formulation and its specialized significance in PCOS management. This evaluation will be of significant use to researchers working on herbal therapies to treat PCOS. Complementary or alternative medicine, such as herbal formulations containing herbal extracts of Turmeric, Aloe Vera, mint, and fenugreek, have been highly regarded as natural sources with low side effects and additional benefits of reducing hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and ovarian weight. These plant-based herbal formulations can be effective in this syndrome, which affects serum levels of different hormones and ovarian morphology, representing an opportunity to investigate and discover new bioactive products. Some of the most effective herbs and their formulations that play a critical role in the treatment of PCOS are summarized in this article.
