PCOS All Natural Cures - How To Stop PCOS to Look and Feel Great!

If you are living with the awful symptoms of PCOS then discovering a way to cure this condition is essential which is where Natural PCOS Cures come in.

Natural treatments are the most effective ways to reverse PCOS because natural methods treat the root cause of the problem. natural cures also have more benefits to your health compared to traditional ways of managing the condition.

Hormone Therapy - Some doctors get the wrong impression and believe that PCOS can be managed with hormone replacement therapy. This is not only wrong but it also can hurt a woman's health! Hormone therapy is designed to bolster hormones especially estrogen because the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome are caused by unbalanced hormones. This is short sighted however as the hormonal imbalance is just a symptom of a deeper problem. Also, HRT has been known to increase risks of breast cancer, Alzheimers disease and heart attacks.

Drugs - Like hormone replacement therapy other drug based solutions miss the point because they try to overcome the symptoms not the root cause of PCOS. Some drugs do recognize that the base problems need to be addressed but do not solve the problem but only bring temporary relief ... this means it is STILL THERE! As soon as you stop taking the drugs the menstrual pain, infertility, hair, weight gain and all the other PCOS problems will return. Not to mention many women suffer terrible side effects when on certain drugs.

So what is the root cause of PCOS you are probably wondering and how do you fix it.

The root cause of PCOS is Insulin Resistance. This is a condition where the body produces insulin which is used to take glucose from your blood to feed to the body for various functions - In your case however the insulin does not work very well. As such, the body makes massive amounts of insulin in the hopes that more insulin will equal more energy as a small percentage of a lot might be enough.

What this means is that your body is flooded with the hormone insulin

This causes your other hormones to go haywire and become unbalanced which results in fluctuations of estrogen, progesterone and other hormones which sends your menstrual cycle into turmoil and thus ... PCOS happens.

So to overcome PCOS you must fix insulin resistance which requires a combination of a change in diet, how you think and also a bunch of other lifestyle changes which can balance your hormones and cater for your insulin resistance so it does not happen again.
