In this article we will explain everything you need to know about the natural treatment of this problem, including the best remedies and nutrition tips for polycystic ovary syndrome.

Remedies: balance the liver in polycystic ovary syndrome

The liver is the organ that cleanses the blood of toxins. Its function is closely related to the other organs and, in particular, to the endocrine system. For complete and natural treatment of the liver, you can stimulate liver function with the help of herbs such as silymarin and boldo. It is also essential to eliminate unhealthy fats and food additives from your diet.

Regulation of bowel function

Given the proximity between the intestines and the ovaries, intestinal problems can directly affect the health of internal organs. It is important to maintain the health of the intestines. If they do not work properly, many other health problems occur .

If, in addition to polycystic ovary syndrome, you also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, parasites or other intestinal dysfunctions, it is good to treat these problems before they affect the ovaries.

To regulate intestinal function, follow a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains and dried fruits. If you suffer from constipation, include some natural laxatives in your diet , such as flax seeds or plums.

Watch out for gluten

Gluten intolerance or celiac disease is easy to diagnose, because the body reacts immediately after ingesting gluten-containing products. However, there are varying degrees of intolerance and a slight imbalance can lead over time to polycystic ovary syndrome.

So, if you suffer from gluten intolerance, allergies or digestive problems, beware of this substance.

Vitex

The most effective plant to treat Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is vitex (vitex agnus castus), a remedy traditionally used to regulate hormone levels, prevent irregular periods and return ovulation to women who are experiencing a lack of it. It is very effective when polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with low levels of progesterone and prolactin.

Take 200 mg of vitex extract daily for 3-4 months to relieve polycystic ovary syndrome.

quack

Maca is a plant native to the Andes very good for women’s health. In particular, it acts as a hormonal regulator of any kind. It is also very good for menopausal symptoms.

This root can be found in the form of tablets or powder. The powder is easier to dose, because it is recommended to start with a lower dose and increase it gradually, because it is very energizing and can cause nervousness. 

• For a shock dose take 6-9 grams daily for a month.
• The maintenance dose should be 3 g per day (one level teaspoon).

Flaxseed

Cold pressed flaxseed oil is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6, two nutrients that naturally regulate hormone levels and stimulate ovulation. 

Take two teaspoons of flaxseed oil daily. If you don’t like its taste, you can mix it in food. It will retain its properties and you will no longer feel the unpleasant taste.

We hope that this article in which we have presented remedies for  polycystic ovary syndrome will be useful.
