Natural PCOS Treatment

Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition that often leaves women unable to have children, a regular menstrual cycle and may cause problems with her hormones, heart and blood vessels. It may also affect a woman's appearance.

Women who suffer from PCOS often have a higher than normal level of male hormones and they may have cysts on their ovaries. Women who suffer from PCOS usually have other relatives, such as a mother or sister, who also suffers from PCOS. Luckily, there are some natural treatments that will help ease symptoms of the condition.

  1. Symptoms of PCOS

    • Women who suffer from PCOS often experience infrequent menstrual periods, an inability to get pregnant, hair growth on the face and chest, ovarian cysts, acne, weight gain and high cholesterol. Other symptoms include high blood pressure, male pattern baldness, thickened skin on the arms, breasts, thighs, or neck, skin tags, and pelvic pain.

    Chaste Tree

    • Chaste tree is a beneficial natural treatment that stimulates and regulates the pituitary gland, which helps to release hormones. It also helps to regulate the menstrual cycle, which will help to improve fertility. Chaste tree is especially helpful for women with PCOS who would like to get pregnant.

    Adrenal Tonics

    • Adrenal tonics may be helpful in naturally treating polycystic ovarian syndrome. Tonics including Rhodiola, Rehmannia and Siberian Ginseng will help to boost the adrenal stress response system. The result of this is that the adrenal glands will be more balanced, which may help to relieve some or all of the symptoms of PCOS in women of all ages.

    Peony

    • Peony, or paeonia lactiflora, is a helpful herb that you can find at your local drug store. The herb is known to help women who have low levels of progesterone development and will also help to reduce the production of androgens, or male hormones. The herb is also known to balance the production of estrogen and prolactin.

    Acupuncture

    • Many women find that acupuncture is very helpful in treating PCOS. The idea behind acupuncture is that it will help for energy to flow more freely throughout the body. The process can also help improve circulation and stop pain that may be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome.
