cangfu ovulation decoction

Cangfu Ovulation Decoction is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formula primarily investigated for its efficacy in treating infertility associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and obesity. Developed by researchers at Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the decoction is based on traditional principles aimed at resolving phlegm-dampness and blood stasis, which are believed to impede ovulation. The formula is typically used to regulate reproductive hormones, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote follicular maturation. Clinical studies, including randomized controlled trials registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR), have evaluated its impact on ovulation rates and pregnancy outcomes in overweight women with ovulatory dysfunction.
