PCOS is a condition where the ovaries start producing an abnormal amount of Androgen, leading to cyst formation in the ovaries. The most common symptoms of PCOS are obesity, weight gain, mood swings, facial hair and acne formation. “One of the common hormone imbalances that affects a Cyster’s body is testosterone. Some PCOS symptoms that can find their root cause in high testosterone include hirsutism, belly fat, acne, and hair loss— just to name a few. One of the natural ways to reverse these symptoms that target our testosterone levels is through drinking herbal teas,” wrote Dietitian Tallene Hacatoryan. (Pixabay)
