Cure for PCOS " Two Herbs That Are Extremely Useful In Curing PCOS and Ovarian Cysts.

By Crystal Adeyemi

Is there a cure for PCOS is a common question that people ask and the answer is Yes. Mix together three simple ingredients - good nutrition, regular physical exercise,and natural herbs and you will eliminate the signs and symptoms of PCOS and Ovarian Cysts.

Herbs in particular are extremely useful in the treatment of PCOS, because they are much gentler on the body, have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs and can be used for sustained periods of time.

The two most effective herbs commonly used and that have been shown to be very effective are:

1. Agnus Castus (Vitex/Chastetree Berry): This herb has a direct effect on the pituitary gland. This gland is involved in regulating hormone production and the menstrual cycle.

It is an adaptogen, which means that whether you suffer from a low level of one hormone or an excess of another, you can take Vitex and this herb will regulate the pituitary gland to achieve optimum levels of the hormone.

This herb is particularly useful to those with low levels of progesterone as it restores it to normal levels. Low progesterone levels can cause miscarriage, so vitex can help prevent this from happening.

Vitex has a few side effects that you need to be aware of, the most noticeable being digestive upsets and a mild rash

Vitex should be taken for a period of several months in order to help with the cure for PCOS and ovarian cysts.

The typical recommended dose of Vitex is organic tincture is 1 teaspoon, 3 times a day for 3 or 4 months. This herb can be taken daily for up to 18 continuous months, unless pregnancy occurs.

Please consult your doctor before you start using vitex.

2. Garcinia Cambogia (Also known as Brindall Berries)

This is a small tropical fruit that is sometimes called, Malabar tamarind. It comes from central Asia and contains HCA (hydroxyl-citric-acid). This Acid enables carbohydrate to be turned into useable energy instead of being deposited as fat.

This herb can also be used as part of the cure for PCOS because it helps to suppress appetite, reduce sugar cravings and insulin resistance, and inhibit the formation of fat and cholesterol.

If you are wondering where to get this herb from, it is available from Amazon.com in capsule form.

The most important thing to bear in mind is that our bodies react to different things in different ways and these two herbs used in the cure for pcos, may not necessarily work for you the way they have worked for others.
