Natural Treatment For Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

The health of the ovaries is closely related to that of other organs. An intestinal congestion can directly affect the health of our reproductive organs. We must also facilitate liver function, which is directly related to the hormonal system.

More and more women and young girls suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is characterized by irregularities in the period, difficulties in losing weight, excess hair, acne, hair loss and fertility problems, among other symptoms.

In this article we explain what you should take into account to naturally treat this health problem, as well as the most effective remedies for you to include in your diet.

Balance the liver

The liver is the organ that cleanses our blood of toxins. Its function is closely related to the rest of the organs and, especially, to the hormonal system.

To carry out a natural and complete treatment we must take it into account. We can facilitate liver function with medicinal plants such as milk thistle or boldo. It is also essential that we avoid harmful fats and food additives in our diet.

Regulate the intestine

If we look at the proximity of the intestines to the ovaries, as well as the relationship between all our internal organs, we will realize that intestinal congestion can affect the health of our reproductive organs.

It is always important to maintain a healthy gut, as if it does not work properly it can cause many health problems in the long run.

Therefore, if in addition to polycystic ovary syndrome we suffer constipation, irritable bowel, parasites or other intestinal disorders, we must treat them naturally so that they do not worsen the balance of the ovaries.

To regulate intestinal function, we must follow a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts. In case of constipation, we will add some laxative foods to our diet, such as flax seeds or prunes.

Beware of gluten

Gluten intolerance or celiac disease is a disease that can be easily detected, since the body reacts immediately after ingesting a food with gluten.

However, there are people who have different degrees of gluten intolerance, and the consequence is some slight imbalances that, over time, can lead to certain diseases, including polycystic ovary syndrome.

If you have a history of gluten intolerance or allergy, or you also suffer from digestive problems, we recommend that you take this possible explanation into account.

Chasteberry

The most effective medicinal plant to treat this disease is chasteberry ( Vitex agnus castus ), a remedy that has traditionally been used to regulate hormonal levels, prevent irregular periods and restore ovulation in women who suffer from lack of menstruation.

Taking chasteberry is more effective when PCOS is accompanied by low levels of progesterone and prolactin, if that is our case. We will take 200 mg of chasteberry extract daily for at least 3 or 4 months before evaluating the results.

Maca for polycystic ovary syndrome

Maca is a well-known Andean root that is very beneficial for women’s health. In particular, it acts as a hormone regulator, regardless of which hormones are altered. In addition, it is also an excellent remedy to combat the symptoms of menopause.

We can get this root in tablets or powder. In powder form, it is more convenient for us if we want to better control the dose we take, since it is recommended to start with a small amount and gradually increase it, because it is very energizing and in some cases it can cause nervousness.

• As a shock treatment you can take 6 to 9 grams daily, which we can maintain for a month.
• The maintenance dose is 3 grams per day (approximately one level teaspoon).

Flax oil

The oil that is extracted from the cold pressing of flax seeds is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6, two nutrients that naturally regulate hormonal levels and also promote ovulation cycles.

We will take two tablespoons (30 g) of flax oil daily. If its taste is unpleasant to us, since it may remind us of fish, we will mix the oil with the food. Your benefits will be the same and we will save ourselves the trouble.
