Many women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS, are using nourishing herbal infusions to relieve the symptoms of PCOS. Many herbs throughout history have been used by traditional cultures to heal and tone the reproductive system of women.

Herbs, especially brewed as nourishing herbal infusions, provide essential calcium and other minerals that women need. Along with a traditional diet, like a high protein/low carb diet, these herbs can nourish the reproductive system and restore health. These herbs are rich in calcium, magnesium and other minerals and vitamins that are easy for the body to assimilate and absorb. Herbal infusions, if taken daily, are better than a synthetic multi-vitamin that is hard for the body to absorb.

Drink a quart or more daily of an herbal infusion over a time span of at least one month or more. Good herbs for the reproductive system are red raspberry leaf, red clover blossoms, nettle leaf, oatstraw and comfrey leaf.

Favorite combinations women like:

- Red raspberry leaf with red clover blossoms.
- Nettle leaf, comfrey leaf and oatstraw blend.
- A blend of 2/3 part of red raspberry leaf and 1/3 part combination of rose petals and hibiscus. This can cover some bitterness that red raspberry tends to have.

To make your infusion, put 1 oz. by weight of the herb or herbs in a wide mouth canning jar. Cover with boiling water. Stir to make sure all the leaves are soaked and cap with a lid. Let your herbal infusion set for 3-4 hours on the counter. When ready, stir in a bit of honey if needed and drink warm or iced.

Fortunately, many fertility specialists and doctors have found that polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS for short, responds well to natural approaches to treatment and certain lifestyle remedies. Each woman's case is different, however, and all women should always discuss their condition with a trained professional before implementing any treatment, dietary or exercise program, or undergoing any procedure.

Causes of PCOS
The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome is not fully understood, although many believe that genetics plays a role. Those suffering from PCOS are more likely to have a close relative such as a mother or sister who has PCOS as well. The condition may occur in girls as young as 11 years old, and about 5 million women in the United States are thought to have PCOS.

PCOS is the most common cause of infertility in women. Irregular or absent periods are the most common symptom of this condition, and with the absence of a menstrual period, infertility is also present. Other symptoms may include increased hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs or toes, cysts on the ovaries, acne, weight gain, thinning hair, discolored patches of skin, skin tags, pelvic pain, anxiety and depression, as well as sleep apnea. Women with any of these symptoms should see a doctor to determine if they are suffering from PCOS or any other condition.

Treatment for PCOS
Natural approaches to treating polycystic ovarian syndrome include regular exercise and eating healthy. A nutritional counselor or educated physician may provide more specific information regarding appropriate diet and exercise programs. Patients should discuss their options with a medical professional before adopting any program.

Some physicians encourage patients with PCOS to limit or eliminate processed foods or those with added sugar while adding more fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole-grains to their diet. Patients should strive to keep their body weight at a healthy level, as many women with polycystic ovarian syndrome are overweight or obese. This may lead to further health problems, so maintaining a healthy weight is often stressed in treatment for this condition.

Some doctors or clinics may recommend a nutritional supplement program in addition to nutritional or exercise programs in aiming for a healthy lifestyle. The best resource for further information about PCOS and natural approaches to treatment is a trained fertility specialist who offers nutritional counseling and is experienced in helping women live healthy lives through other natural lifestyle changes.

Can Candida Also Cause Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?

Is there a chance that Candida also causes Polycystic Ovary Syndrome? This question has just arrived at my inbox from a friend of mine, Deborah. She was diagnosed with that in couple weeks ago.
Well in my opinion, polycystic ovary syndrome is indirectly related to candida. The conclusion comes based on several experiences I have got from a friend. Let me tell you the story about Allison.
Almost a year ago she went to the gyno because her period had stopped for a couple of months (she was not pregnant). The gyno said that she had "polycystic ovaries" and prescribed birth control pills. She took them for a few months and her period was "regular." However, since she stopped the pill a month ago, her period has been on schedule and usually cramp-free (whereas for most of her life it was very irregular and painful).
So she doesn't think her ovaries are polycystic, it was simply the difference in her diet that allowed her period to function normally (eating wholesome food and supplementing with flaxseed and primrose oils, as opposed to most of her life, binging on sugar and junk food which can totally throw your hormones out of whack, candida or no candida).
Anyway, she thanks to the supposedly polycystic ovaries, she took the Pill (without realizing all of its negative effects) and it must have been the straw that broke the camel's back, she got a raging yeast infection that she has been fighting for almost a year! But, without that yeast infection, she would not have connected any other symptoms like the depression, brain fog, fatigue, skin problems, as candida, so in a way, what hurt her has helped her also.

Eat healthy, diet, lose weight, detox, get a gym membership, positive thinking... we are bombarded with messages on how to get healthy every day but why do we continue to suffer from conditions such as PCOS? I believe it is because of the general nature of a lot of these calls to action and the fact they do not laser focus on particular problems. A polycystic ovary syndrome diet however is one aspect of curing PCOS naturally that you need to know in detail and action before all those other intruding pieces of advice try to overwhelm you.
Here are some important tips you need to know to construct your diet plan for PCOS.
Proteins
Proteins are vital to every person and science suggests that a lack of proteins could be a problem with PCOS sufferers. Studies have linked a lack of proteins in PCOS affected women to some cases of miscarriage in fact but protein has many functions such as:
Building and repairing body tissues.
Producing enzymes, hormones, and other substances the body uses.
Regulating your body processes, such as transporting nutrients, and making muscles contract.
Keeps the body healthy by resisting diseases
Produces stamina and energy.
Often when trying to lose weight women tend to lower their protein consumption which as you can see is not a good thing. You can get good amounts of protein without much fat from chicken, fish, soy and low fat dairy products like low fat cheese.
Fats
Talking about fats did you know that not all fats are bad? There are some that are terrible for you but there are also those that are very beneficial in moderate amounts.
What you really want to avoid are what is known as trans-fats which are fats that have been chemically changed. Foods that have partially hydrogenated on their labels are trans-fatty and should be avoided. These fats will really cause problems with your insulin levels which are very bad for diabetics and PCOS sufferers.
Good fats are known as fatty acids or omega 3 fats which are actually great for your health. These fats are found mainly in fish such as mackerel, salmon and sardines. These are fats you want more of as they do not spike your blood sugar level and contain nutrients that help your body function efficiently.
Carbohydrates
There are two types of carbs. Like fats there are good ones and bad ones you should use or not use in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome diet.
Complex carbs are good carbs that are found in foods that are unrefined. These carbs take longer to digest and thus do not turn into blood sugar as fast spreading out the energy absorption.
Simple Carbs are the completely different. They digest quickly which spikes your blood sugar sky high! This causes major problems with women who suffer from PCOS as your insulin resistance (the root cause of PCOS) does not cope with this well at all.
As you can see, choosing your PCOS Diet must be planned carefully from the grocery store to the plate to give your body the best chance at lowering blood sugar levels, and rebalancing your hormones.
