How Cinnamon Can Be Used To Help Reverse Your PCOS Symptoms

Cinnamon is well known for it's medicinal value in lowering LDL cholesterol and blood sugar, treating various types of cancers and arthritis.

But now, there is a good news for women with poly cystic ovaries, because cinnamon is known to reduce Insulin resistance, the underlying cause of PCOS. Studies conducted at the Columbia university Medical Center have proven this fact, that regular consumption of cinnamon can improve glucose tolerance and reduce the symptoms in poly cystic ovarian disease.

Cinnamon can prove to be one of the best home remedy for PCOS in following ways:

●     Cinnamon can help you lose weight by improving the carbohydrate utilization in the body.
●     It can not only reduce blood glucose levels but also improve lipid profile.
●     Use of cinnamon daily in your recipes can reduce insulin resistance and also the levels of testosterone (male sex hormone) thereby reducing the masculine characteristics in females with PCOS.
●     With the help of Cinnamon, you can get rid of those extra facial hair, oily skin and acne. Also it can help regularize your menses, improve fertility.
●     Women with poly cystic ovaries consuming cinnamon regularly are also known to have reduced hair fall.
●     With the reduction in other symptoms, you may also get rid of those dark patches commonly found on the neck in poly cystic ovaries.

Cinnamon can be used in a powdered form and added to your daily simple recipes. It is also available in tablet form. You can also boil it in water and consume it as cinnamon tea. Intake of about 1-2 tsp of cinnamon powder is recommended daily for women with PCOS. Higher doses of cinnamon are known to cause liver damage. Before starting with this home remedy you may consult your diabetes doctor once because at times it may happen, that your medication plus the additional home remedy together can cause hypoglycemia.
