Homeopathy for PCOS Symptoms
It’s common for women to sit across from me and share that they’ve been told their “labs look fine” and that the only option is to take birth control. Yet they’re still struggling with irregular cycles, acne, excess hair growth, fatigue, or weight that won’t budge. This leaves many women feeling dismissed and frustrated.
PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, is not just about the ovaries. It involves the whole communication system of the body. Hormones, metabolism, digestion, and stress all play a role.
Conventional care usually focuses on managing symptoms. What gets missed is the reason why these symptoms appear in the first place.
What Often Gets Missed in PCOS Care
Individual differences: No two women with PCOS have the exact same experience. One may have cycles every sixty days, while another has none at all. Some may have stubborn acne, while others deal mostly with fatigue. This is why one size fits all plans often fail.
Root drivers: Hormonal imbalance can be connected to insulin resistance, chronic stress, inflammation, or even environmental exposures. Rarely do conventional plans address these factors.
Emotional impact: PCOS affects more than the body. It can touch confidence, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. Ignoring this aspect leaves the picture incomplete.
This is where homeopathy can be helpful.
How Homeopathy Approaches PCOS
Homeopathy doesn’t give the same remedy to every woman with PCOS. Instead, remedies are matched to the unique pattern of symptoms a person experiences. This includes physical complaints as well as mood and mental patterns. The goal is to gently remind the body how to return toward balance rather than suppressing symptoms.
Here are a few remedies that may be considered:
Sepia: For women with irregular cycles, low energy, pelvic heaviness, and irritability or a sense of disconnection.
Pulsatilla: When cycles are very late or absent, with symptoms that worsen in warm rooms and improve in fresh air. Often linked with mood swings or tearfulness.
Lachesis: When cycles are painful and premenstrual symptoms are intense, sometimes with congestion or fullness that feels worse on the left side.
Calcarea carbonica: For women who tend to gain weight easily, feel fatigued, and become overwhelmed. May crave sugar and struggle with stress.
Thuja: Sometimes considered when acne is persistent, excess hair growth is present, or metabolism feels sluggish.
These remedies are not prescribed for “PCOS” itself. They are chosen to match the individual experience of the woman in front of me.
Supporting the Bigger Picture
Remedies are part of a wider strategy. Here are a few simple ways to support balance:
Include protein at every meal to help regulate blood sugar
Support liver function to process hormones efficiently
Reduce exposure to endocrine disruptors found in plastics and personal care products
Manage stress with both physical and energetic practices, such as gentle exercise, meditation, or Reiki
If you’ve been told to “just take the pill” or to “lose weight” but you know there is more to your story, you’re not alone. Many women are searching for a path that feels supportive, individualized, and natural. Homeopathy is one of the tools that allows me to support women with PCOS in ways that conventional care often misses.
If you are living with symptoms of PCOS and feel like nothing is working, you do not have to figure it out alone. A consultation can help uncover what your body is trying to communicate and give you natural tools to support it.
