Herbs for PCOS

Herbs for PCOS treatment can be a very powerful tool in healing your body. Herbs work to balance the hormones in your body. It's vital that while taking herbs you are also making other dietary and lifestyle changes.

While using herbs for PCOS treatment it is essential that you adopt a healthy diet and regular exercise that will become part of your everyday life.

• Chaste Tree
  
  Is probably the single most important herb in beating your PCOS symptoms. Chaste Tree normalizes the pituitary gland, which controls the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) that helps with progesterone levels. Progesterone is partly responsible for a normal menstrual cycle.
  
  
• Dong Quai
  
  Helps restore a normal period along with strengthening your blood and vital energy associated with the female reproductive system.

• Rhodiola

  Helps to support the adrenal glands into being balanced.

• Gymnema

  I really like Gymnema as it helps to reduce cravings for sugar and carbohydrates; which before you cleanse your body from all the stored toxins and bad habits it can be difficult. It can also help you lose weight as it improves insulin resistance.

• Tribulus

  Supports regular menstruation and ovulation.

• Blue Cohosh

  Is a pelvic anti-inflammatory.

• Saw Palmetto

  Controls excess testosterone and helps with abnormal hair growth.

In order to know the herbs your body needs to help heal itself you need to consulate with a professional.
