Research looking if combined treatments are more effective for PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) than single modalities.

TCM herbs , Acupuncture needles and Moxa sticks.

PCOS is a condition in which the ovaries fill with immature follicles preventing ovulation. It happens for a whole variety of reasons and can be tricky to treat. In my practice I found that combining TCM herbs, diet and lifestyle with acupuncture will usually bring back periods with a month or so. In this meta analysis of research published in the journal Medicine , they found that combining modalities , like TCM herbs, acupuncture , western meds, moxa etc works better than anyone modality on it’s own. As well acupuncture combined with TCM herbs was right at the top for both pregnancy and ovulation rates.! Link to Research
