Symptoms you shouldn’t ignore
Irregular or missed periods, excess facial/body hair, acne and oily skin, weight gain, hair thinning, mood changes, and difficulty conceiving. According to the World Health Organization, PCOS affects an estimated 8–13% of women of reproductive age.
PCOS diet: what to eat & avoid
A low-glycaemic diet — whole grains, vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats — with reduced sugar and refined carbs, plus regular exercise and weight control, is central to managing PCOS.
How homeopathy helps
Homeopathy takes a constitutional approach to support hormonal balance and reduce symptoms over time. Read the full overview in our guide to homeopathy for PCOS/PCOD.
Commonly used remedies
- Sepia — irregular cycles with fatigue and low mood.
- Pulsatilla — delayed, scanty or irregular periods in a mild, changeable temperament.
Remedies must be individualised by a homeopath; this is not a prescription.
Frequently asked questions
Can homeopathy cure PCOS?
PCOS is managed rather than instantly cured. Homeopathy can help regularise cycles and reduce symptoms, especially alongside diet and weight management.
Will it help me conceive?
It may support cycle regularity and wellbeing, but fertility care should be coordinated with a gynaecologist.
