Role of Yoga in the Holistic Management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - An Overview

Abstract

Holistic medicine that includes naturopathy, ayurveda and yoga can give several benefits in many chronic lifestyle and metabolic diseases and complement modern medicine. Yoga can have significant benefits in Polycystic Ovary (Ovarian) Syndrome (PCOS), a condition known to have a multi-factorial metabolic and hormonal etiology. Studies and research have shown the effectiveness of yogic practices in improving and managing various parameters of PCOS. More research is encouraged in the field of yoga and other holistic interventions to manage PCOS to reduce the economic burden and side effects of giving allopathic treatment alone.
