Few weeks back, a regular reader of this blog asked me whether others can share their personal experiences with herbs and home remedies in the blog. I was very happy because each one of us are unique and react differently to herbs and remedies.
If we can share our personal experiences with each other it will greatly give the confidence to others to try out the remedies.I set up a “share your remedies with me” page on the blog and I had only one request for the writers, that is to share remedies only that they had personal experience with.
Aparna, a dear reader of the blog wrote to me last week about her experience with pcos and the remedies that she uses at home for treating it ( I have posted it exactly as she wrote to me in the box below, I just added the pictures). Thanks a lot for taking your time to write to me Aparna, I am sure many will benefit from these remedies.
What Causes Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome?
Poly cystic ovarian syndrome is caused due to hormonal imbalance in women. Women suffering from PCOS will have irregular menstrual cycle, problems getting pregnant, excessive facial hair growth, weight gain and thinning hair. Women suffering from PCOS produce slightly more of the male hormone androgen which results in all these symptoms. Women with PCOS also usually suffer from insulin resistance. Though the exact cause of PCOS is said to be unknown, it is said to be genetic and usually runs in the family.
Other Remedies:
Along with the remedy for pcos, she also shared these following remedies that her family practices: “Barley water can be used to reduce edema or swelling of the feet. Chittarathai kashayam can be used to treat coughs. Tulsi kashayam and adding turmeric to milk can also treat cold and cough. Pepper and jeera powder, milagu jeera podi when mixed with rice and ghee is very good for indigestion. Omam leaves when eaten after washing can also be used to cure indigestion”.
