        <p>
The medicinal plants Cinnamomum cassia, Berberis vulgaris, Curcuma longa, Vitex agnus-castus and Glycyrrhiza glabra have shown potential in treating PCOS symptoms effectively with limited unwanted consequences. The review demonstrates an extensive analysis of PCOS pathophysiology together with an assessment of established treatment methods and an examination of rising herbal therapy significance. More extensive clinical trials need to be conducted to confirm suitable treatment dosages and determine long-lasting safety norms and reveal treatment mechanism details of herbal medicine. The combination of proven herbal treatments with conventional therapy alongside personalized medical care would establish an advanced method for treating PCOS that enhances the effectiveness of reproductive and metabolic health management.</p>
