Many of my readers have asked me about the polycystic ovaries, its possible causes, consequences, and what would be some good natural ways to treat this syndrome, and today I want to please them with this post.
A tremendous amount of young women increasingly suffer from polycystic ovaries, I would think that there is a shared youth factor that makes all suffer from the same… Will a poor diet, stress, constant weight changes in the search of feeling comfortable have something to do with polycystic ovaries?
While we investigate, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is caused by a hormonal change that makes it hard to ovary releasing mature eggs, that is, no ovulation occurs. These changes can generate:
- Difficulties to lose weight
- Excess hair
- Acne
- Hair loss
- Fertility problems
- Menstrual pain (cramps)
5 Natural remedies for polycystic ovaries
Today I give you some natural remedies that can prevent and help with hormonal changes:
- Cinnamon tea: helps regulate the menstrual cycle in women and helps relieve menstrual pain (cramps). Mix two tablespoons cinnamon in a glass of warm water and take it once a day.
- Apple cider vinegar: This is a good ally to maintain levels of blood pressure, slowing your body to produce too much insulin. Diabetes is a condition that tends to polycystic ovaries. Mix two tablespoons of vinegar per cup and drink it before meals.
