Here Are 5 Herbal Drinks To Tackle PCOS
Ayurvedic doctor Dr Dixa Bhavsar Savaliya (@drdixa_healingsouls) shared a video on her Instagram handle with 5 herbal drinks that can help you tackle PCOS.
1. Spearmint Tea
If you struggle with increased testosterone, and hirsutism and have trouble ovulating, then spearmint tea can come to your aid. Spearmint tea will promote ovulation and reduce androgens if you sip it daily in the morning or evening.
2. Sesame-Fenugreek Tea
An easy recipe to try at home, sesame-fenugreek tea can help promote natural stimulation of periods. All you have to do is take a pan and pour one glass of water, one teaspoon of fenugreek (methi seeds), one teaspoon of sesame seeds, one small piece of jaggery and one teaspoon of turmeric in it. Boil it on a medium flame for 5-7 minutes, strain and sip on it while it’s warm. The expert recommends to start having it a week before your period starts.
3. Butterfly Pea Flower Tea
If you struggle with acne due to PCOS, then you should sip on butterfly pea flower tea. This tea helps reduce cortisol levels in your body, which in turn helps in reducing mood swings, insomnia, and other hormonal issues. Butterfly pea flower tea has anthocyanin which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which help to improve insulin sensitivity in the body. As per the expert, you can sip this tea at bedtime.
4. Ginger-Cinnamon Tea
As per Dr Savaliya, ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that help control PCOS symptoms and menstrual problems like cramps, mood swings, and headaches. While cinnamon is packed with essential minerals like calcium, fibre, iron, and manganese. A flavonoid called Cinnamaldehyde, which is found in cinnamon is known to increase progesterone levels in the body and reduce androgens. This, therefore, helps in balancing the hormones. The expert suggests you have this drink at least two to three times per week.
5. Hibiscus Tea
According to the Ayurvedic expert, hibiscus tea is packed with antioxidants and phytochemicals that help restore hormonal steadiness and promote consistent ovulation, which leads to regular periods. You can sip this tea every day, 1-2 hours before or after meals.
