@camille Hello, is one such ayurvedic herb that has been traditionally known to be a powerful adaptogen. Adaptogen herbs help to aid the body in balancing hormones which could, in turn, alleviate stress and symptoms of PCOS. Ashwagandha powder helps to combat several PCOS-related symptoms such as fatigue, increase stamina, decrease anxiety, balance blood sugar, and mood swings, improve sleep, hormone production, and libido. PCOS suppresses ovulation, which is one of the major causes of female infertility. Stress can play an important role in regulating female hormones. Cortisol levels increase during stress. The stress hormone cortisol in turn reduces progesterone levels and negatively impacts fertility and healthy menstruation cycles. By reducing cortisol levels and reducing body tension, Ashwagandha has a positive effect on the reproductive system, libido, and menstrual cycles. Consult your doctor before taking it. Thank You.
