A naturopathic approach to supporting women with PCOS

Updated: Jan 30, 2023






Have you been diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)?

Did you know that natural management options are one of the most effective ways to manage PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal disorder.

High testosterone and low progesterone levels cause irregular or absent periods and ovulation and trigger multiple small benign follicles on the ovaries. These follicles (small cysts) are harmless however, the hormonal aspect can make it tricky for fertility and to know when your period is coming and can have an impact on

  • mood

  • energy

  • weight and metabolism

  • hair growth

  • poor stress response

  • sleep disturbances

  • blood sugar issues

  • and more

There are different types of PCOS which do not all fit the classic PCOS symptom mould either. Some sufferers also have high insulin but many do not.

If you would like support in navigating PCOS we chat about -

  • your health history

  • your symptoms

  • testing interpretation and advice around seeking testing and diagnosis from your GP

  • effective herbal medicines and nutrients to rebalance hormones

  • birth control options

  • diet

  • movement

  • relaxation

  • PCOS education



Education to guide you through the process of your diagnosis and providing effective options for management outside of the contraceptive pill is central to women feeling in control of their bodies and confident in maintaining and thriving.
