The study sought to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of sage (Salvia officinalis) in managing polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) through an extensive review of existing literature. The research focused on studies related to the bioactive compounds of sage and their proven effects on hormones, insulin resistance, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Results indicated that sage might help regulate androgen and insulin levels, improving tissue sensitivity to these hormones, which may contribute to enhancing follicle development and ovulation in women with PCOS. The findings also suggest that sage could play a significant role in improving metabolic and reproductive health by reducing insulin resistance and promoting the secretion of female hormones, thus supporting overall ovarian function. However, further clinical research is needed to confirm these results and determine the optimal therapeutic doses.
