Nikhita For reducing weight, drink green tea daily, early morning.
Swallow a tablespoon of raw Fenugreek seeds daily. Eating 250 gm of Papaya daily for dinner will also help to reduce weight. Avocado. This is a great fruit, which helps in reducing weight. It will suppress your hunger, reduces the urge to eat and will help to shed off extra calories, that too without any side effect.
Or visist the page Horsegram in the herb section of this website and check the method to take it. This is also one of the very efcetive methods to reduce weight.

You can take this herb. It is not advised for those suffering from High Bp. As the excessive dosage may cause High Bp. You will have to take it for 2 to 3 months. Also, it is suggested that you take Dandelion soups everyday. One bowl of soup is good enough for you. try the soup for 15 days. Skip for 3 days, start again for next 15 days. Then you can get your tests done again.

Bobby.
Please take Shatavari Capsules, one daily for a month.
Another herb for you is Cannabis Sativa. Buy the tincture and take 5 drops in a glass of water for 30 days.
Drink Soursop juice every morning for a month.
It is advised that you discuss with your health care provider before you try any remedy. Since, you already are taking medications so, caution is advised.

Liz. The capsule contains the different form of herb and tea contains the different one.
You can simply have one capsule every day for a month.
To make the tea, you have to specifically get the tea first.

Hi..
I'm 27 years old and diagnosed PCOS after marrage which is 4 years back.... I have irregular periods since puberty may be coz of hormonal imbalance... and now after marriage I check with a DGO and they said I have pcod... all my hormones are normal except Lh... LH was very high and doctors gave me tablets to reduce LH harmones... I don't know what stops my ovulation to get pregnant... I'm gaining weight also...
Totally confused...
Can you suggest me some proper medicine to balance my hormones?, to get proper periods every month with proper ovulation?, and to get pregnant importantly.?..

Do not worry.
It will be taken care of.
First thing to do is : DO regular exercise. Regular means, every day, do not skip. This is the best way to cure PCOD. Do Kegel Exercise in specific. For hormonal imbalance take Chaste Berry for one month.
Also, eat Saw Palmetto capsules, one every day for 15 days.

Hello,
I'm 39 years old, Got married 3 years ago and haven't been able to have children!. I wasn't sexually active till I got married. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2016 after having open surgery to remove a large 95x87mm chocolate cyst on my left ovary. The doctor said I have endometriosis in my left ovary and each time I mestruate the blood will keep forming a cyst. A year after the surgery the cyst has started forming again.
I got pregnant for the first time in October last year and I had a missed miscarriage in December , the doctor couldn't tell me what caused the feotus to die . I had to do an evacuation
I have been trying since to get pregnant since and no success!.
The cyst is growing and I also have multiple fibroids 72x55mm and 56x52mm as at 2016

A friend of gave me Vitex pills and Donq quai pills to use , but I haven't started using .

Please advice on what to use to heal the endometriosis and fibriods and to conceive .

Also my husband is 44 and he has high BP

Thank you!
