PCOS and Estrogen
Ovarian cysts are linked to hormonal imbalances. Estrogen dominance, in particular, plays an important role. This imbalance is brought on most often by stress, lack of adequate sleep, and poor elimination of waste by the lymphatic system, liver and kidneys. Dairy consumption and heavy exercise can cause increased estrogen. A diet rich in meat and greasy foods is also responsible for elevated estrogen levels. Processed and cured meats should be avoided. Herbs for PCOS PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder. In affects 30% of women. Most women are put on birth control, but PCOS has been shown to respond very well to liver supporting herbs and supplements, marjoram (purchase from a supermarket as a dry spice) aloe vera, milk thistle, bladderwrack and chlorella (I like Dr. Mercola's kind because it's gentle on the stomach). PCOS responds exceptionally well to nutrition that supports optimal health and effective elimination. See the video below and download our free nutritional recommendations. LIVER SUPPORT In conjunction with the nutrition plan, this is the most important part of the PCOS protocol.
