Naturopathy for PCOS: Key to addressing the root cause of pcos is focusing on insulin-resistance. 1) dietary limitation of starch and glucose. 2) increase exercise. 3) chromium picolinate (1000 mcg/d) and 4) cinnamon (500mg twice daily) have shown to be beneficial.

Lifestyle changes: There really isn't one exceptional herb or supplement for pcos. There are many options but they must be combined with the proper diet and exercise for maximal effect. Pcos and weight loss should be treated in a holistic, integrative way, looking at the whole picture and getting at the root of the problem.
