PCOS, Enemy of Body and Mind

If you feel tired, grumpy, you can’t explain the sudden weight gain and facial hair, nevertheless your scalp gets thinner while your periods become irregular… it’s not you, it’s your hormones.

PCOS, the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome affects approximately 18% of women worldwide. It is manifested with ovarian cysts which are benign; nevertheless they can seriously interfere with reproductive hormonal balance, by producing excessive male hormones, thus disrupting the normal menstrual cycle. Apart from creating series of unpleasant physical symptoms like irregular, abundant and painful periods, inability to conceive, greasy and acne-prone skin, facial and body hair, weight gain and constant lack of energy, the PCOS can seriously crush a woman’s self-esteem, lead to depression and poor social life.

PCOS also has an underlying physical aspect: it prevents the body from using the insulin properly, leading to insulin resistance and potentially diabetes. It also affects blood vessels and pressure, and if left untreated, can cause heart attack or stroke. The fact that the PCOS and insulin resistance are so closely linked clearly implies that it can significantly be influenced by proper diet.  

The three essential nutritional  must-dos when diagnosed with PCOS are:

1. Forget about simple carbs like white flour, sugar and processed food, and opt for complex carbs: brown rice, oats, legumes, vegetables and fruit.
2. Eat healthy protein and fats: chicken, eggs, oily fish, avocado, and nuts, use unrefined, good quality cooking oils.
3. Eat small portions more regularly in order to maintain proper insulin levels and avoid episodes of extreme hunger and overeating. 

The following lifestyle changes, apart from proper diet, should be embraced:

• Exercise regularly and spend more time outdoors.
• Maintain a healthy body weight.
• Ditch alcohol and cigarettes.
• Use relaxation techniques to reduce stress: meditation, prayer, whatever works for you.
• Use natural remedies and medicinal herbs to regain hormonal balance.

For Life without Obstacles

In the beginning, there was – mother. Motherhood is a completely unique, fantastic, amazing, one-of-a-kind experience that only a woman can have.

Irregular or missing periods, anovulation, polycystic ovaries, ovarian cysts, cervical lesions, endometriosis… Numerous women are affected by these disorders today, and it seems that the numbers are growing. In most cases, modern medicine is unable to offer the solution, which, in fact, is all around us: in nature.

Hormones, our Guardian Angels

Throughout our lives, our health is maintained by our hormones. Hormonal balance is vital, not only to a healthy body, but also mind. There are certain natural life phases when hormones fluctuate, such as puberty or menopause. However, today, we are witnesses of numerous disorders that can lead to diseases, some of them fatal, all due to hormone imbalance. Our busy and hectic lives distract us from perceiving the symptoms, and it is only when our hormones get out of control completely that we realize how valuable they are.

It is extremely important for every woman to listen to her body and recognize the signals such as: constant fatigue, depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, skin issues - acne, weight gain, irregular periods, low libido, infertility, digestive issues, hair thinning or increase in body hair...

Conventional treatments for hormonal imbalance normally imply synthetic hormone replacement drugs, which only mask the symptoms, but do not solve them. They can also cause serious side effects, such as stroke, osteoporosis, cancer and more. In order to solve the problem permanently and completely, we need to turn to nature: a healthy diet, elimination of toxins that surround us, regular exercise, and – medicinal herbs are a proven, efficient solution.

Femisan A plus Maca capsules is a natural formula that contributes to normal physiological functions of the female reproductive system. It is completely safe, without hormones or preservatives, artificial colours or gluten.

Femisan A is very efficient in balancing hormones, and is thus a perfect solution for the treatment and prevention of the disorders of the female reproductive system: ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and excessive bleeding, irregular and painful periods, PMS symptoms, endometriosis, PCOS, fibrocystic breasts, cervical lesions and infertility.

When hormones go awry, Femisan A is every woman’s guardian angel that restores balance.

Herb-Robert, Our Superhero

Germanium is an element known for its remarkable effects on the immune system: it fights free radicals, carries oxygen to cells and increases the antibody-stimulating interferon levels… Germanium is a super-hero that protects our body from bacteria, viruses and tumours.

Nobel laureate, Otto Warburg discovered that low oxygen was characteristic of cancer cells. Germanium is known to lavish cells with oxygen, provide energy, vitality, immunity and restore balance. Germanium is a natural element which can be found in certain food, for example, in shiitake mushrooms, ginseng, garlic, and one extraordinary medicinal herb – herb-robert.

Herb-robert, Geranium Robertianum, was named after a 13^th century monk who used the plant to cure numerous people. Throughout history it has been considered a symbol of happiness, abundance and fertility, often pictured together with storks.

Healing properties of herb-robert are frequently overlooked today, which is a shame as it can reduce the risk of cancer. It can be consumed fresh or dried, and it combines well with other medicinal herbs.

Its superb antibiotic and antibacterial properties help with open wounds, ulcers, internal bleeding, nose bleeding, toothache, and it is a great protector of women. Herb-robert can help with irregular and heavy periods, prevent disorders of ovaries, and fight infertility. That is why it is one of the key ingredients of Femisan A. Together with five other herbs, herb-robert does its utmost – it performs small miracles.

Every gardener knows that herb-robert is a persistent and adaptable weed. You can pluck it and pull it, and it will grow back. We can learn a lot from its symbolism.

Embraced by Lady’s Mantle

Searching for the philosopher’s stone, which was supposed to enable them to turn metal into gold, the alchemists left us numerous legends. One of them says that the key ingredient required in the process was the guttation water on lady’s mantle leaves. The precious liquid is sap forming on the leaf, unique and pure. The alchemists never succeeded in their mission; however, their legend was not in vain.

Lady’s mantle, or Alchemillae folium, still holds the alchemy in its scientific name, for a good reason: it can help us obtain the greatest treasure of all – our health. Lady’s mantle has had a reputation of the protector of women for ages.

Long ago, when numerous pregnancies ended tragically, for the new born, the mother or both, women sought help in nature. And they found it in this precious herb. Today, with all the fantastic achievements of the modern medicine, women still largely suffer from reproductive system disorders. Moreover, one could say that the modern way of living has brought us numerous health issues, and is particularly to blame for reduced chances of conception.

Once again, we need to seek help in nature. Lady’s mantle, especially when combined with some other medicinal herbs, successfully fights the following disorders:

•         Ovarian cysts

FUORVIATI DAGLI ORMONI

Hai problemi di acne, stanchezza cronica, perdita della memoria, depressione, ansietà o disturbi del sonno? Ti senti spesso frustrata, estremamente emotiva e hai difficoltà a smettere di mangiare? Soffri di mal di testa causato dallo stress, hai la sindrome dell’intestino irritabile, flatulenza e improvvisamente ti sei ingrassata? Inoltre, la perdita di libido rovina la tua relazione o il matrimonio?

Sai che tutti questi sintomi e condizioni possono essere causati dallo squilibrio ormonale? Il nostro modo di vivere moderno ci ha fatto scorrere troppo lontano dalla natura. Spesso usiamo i farmaci, siamo sommersi dai plastici tossici e aria inquinata. Preferiamo una dieta non sana e ricca di grassi, zuccheri e carni piene di steroidi e antibiotici; stiamo troppo sedute e non otteniamo abbastanza sole; prendiamo la pillola... Di conseguenza, diventiamo testimoni di un'epidemia dello squilibrio ormonale nelle donne di tutto il mondo.

Ci vuole un po 'di tempo prima di renderci conto che i sintomi che abbiamo avuto sono causati da uno squilibrio ormonale. Oltre agli organi riproduttivi, questo squilibrio può danneggiare anche la tiroide, le ossa e i muscoli, il cuore e le vene e può aumentare il rischio di tumori.

Quando colpisce l'utero e le ovaie, a parte le suddette condizioni, può anche causare:

• cicli irregolari o la loro assenza

• problemi di concepimento

• PCOS (sindrome dell'ovaio policistico)

• cisti ovariche

• lesioni cervicali

• endometriosi

• fibromi uterini

• sintomi pre-mestruali

• dolori mestruali e sanguinamento eccessivo durante i cicli

• seni fibrocistici

Una volta che prendiamo il percorso sbagliato, non è facile tornare indietro. Siamo grati alla medicina moderna per tutti i progressi in vari trattamenti di gravi malattie, ma quando si tratta degli ormoni, oltre a sostituti sintetici, essa non ha molto da offrirci. Siccome il problema è causato dalla nostra alienazione dalla natura, la soluzione, logicamente, sarebbe quella di avvicinarcla ancora una volta.

Nel corso della storia, le donne cercavano la soluzione dei suoi problemi nei boschi e nei campi verdi . Vi è una vasta conoscenza tradizionale che non può essere negata neanche dalla scienza moderna.

Alcune erbe aiutano, e sperimentazioni cliniche hanno confermato che le credenze tradizionali sono ben fondate.

Ventaglina è stata usata da anni per le malattie femminili e l'infertilità. Contiene tannini che hanno un forte effetto astringente, evitando quindi sanguinamenti pesanti, il che spiega perché le donne con le mestruazioni pesanti e dolorose e i fibromi uterini la trovano utile. Gli studi hanno dimostrato che questa erba è un inibitore efficiente della crescita tumorale. Il suo effetto sui disturbi gastrointestinali è stato confermato.

Millefoglie, utilizzata fin dall'antichità, è nota per alleviare i dolori mestruali, soprattutto nella regione pelvica inferiore. I suoi flavonoidi hanno un effetto spasmolytico, mentre proazulene lenisce infiammazioni. È un ottimo rimedio per cicli dolorosi.

Fiorrancio (calendula) può guarire ferite, ridurre l'infiammazione, uccidere i microbi e i parassiti ed è un eccellente diuretico. Previene la ritenzione idrica durante la fase premestruale ed è un potente guaritore di ferite uterine, cisti e fibromi. Viene utilizzata anche per la dismenorrea.

Geranio è un'altra erba molto potente e guaritore delle ferite, regola la circolazione del sangue e si usa come un sedativo leggero. È anche un forte antiossidante che impedisce infezioni e aumenta l'immunità. Inoltre contiene tannini che impediscono sanguinamenti pesanti.

Radice dorata di maca è stata usata per oltre due millenni nella medicina tradizionale delle Ande come erba adattogenica, aiutando il corpo ad adattarsi a condizioni ambientali difficili, aumentando la resistenza. Balance gli ormoni e ha un effetto complessivo molto favorevole, sia sul corpo che sulla mente. Elimina la depressione e la nebbia del cervello, ed è particolarmente utile nel calmare i soliti sbalzi (alti e bassi) di energia e di emozioni durante la PMS (la sindrome premestruale). I suoi alcaloidi combattono l'infertilità.

Queste sei erbe medicinali, insieme a zinco, un potente elemento essenziale e antiossidante, vengono assemblate in Femisan A in dosi ben studiate, con scopo di aiutare le donne dal momento in cui entrano nella pubertà, fino alla menopausa. Femisan A, il potente protettore delle donne, ci avvicina alla natura.

Thrown off the Track by Hormones

Do you suffer from acne, memory fog, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety or sleep disorder? Do you often feel frustrated, extremely emotional and find it difficult to stop binge eating? Do you have tension headaches, IBS, sudden weight gain and experience extreme flatulence? Is loss of libido ruining your relationship or marriage?

Do you know that all of these symptoms and conditions can be caused by hormonal imbalance? Our modern way of living made us drift too far away from nature. We often use medications, we are swamped with toxic plastic and polluted air, we give in to unhealthy diet rich in fats, sugars and meat full of steroids and antibiotics, we sit for too long, we don’t get enough sunshine, and we are on the Pill. As a consequence, we are witnesses of an epidemic of hormonal imbalance among women all around the world.

It may take a while before we realize that the symptoms we have been having are caused by hormonal imbalance. Apart from the reproductive system, it can harm the thyroid, the bones and muscles, the heart and veins and it can increase risk of tumors. When it hits the uterus and ovaries, apart from the above mentioned conditions, it can also cause:

·         irregular or missed periods
·         trouble in conceiving
·         PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
·         ovarian cysts
·         cervical lesions
·         endometriosis
·         uterine fibroids
·         pre-menstrual symptoms
·         menstrual cramps and excessive bleeding during periods
·         fibrocystic breasts.

Once we get thrown off the track, going back is not easy. We are grateful to modern medicine for all the advances in various treatments of serious diseases, but when it comes to the hormones, apart from the synthetic substitutes, it does not have much to offer. Since the problem is caused by our drifting away from the nature, the solution, logically, would be to get closer to it once again. 

 

Throughout history, women sought help in green fields and woods. There is a vast traditional knowledge that cannot be denied even by modern science. Certain herbs help, and clinical trials have confirmed that the traditional beliefs are well founded.  

Lady’s mantle has been used for ages for female ailments and infertility. It contains tannins which have a strong astringent effect, thus preventing heavy bleeding, which explains why women with heavy, painful menstruations and uterine fibroids find it helpful. Studies proved that lady’s mantle is an efficient tumor inhibitor. Its effect on gastrointestinal disorders has also been proven.

Yarrow, known since ancient times, is known to alleviate cramps and pain, especially in the lower pelvic region. Its flavonoids have a spasmolytic effect, while pro-azulene soothes inflammations. It is an excellent remedy for painful periods.

Marigold can heal wounds, reduce inflammation, kill microbes and parasites and is an excellent diuretic. It prevents water retention during the pre-menstrual phase, and is a potent healer of uterine wounds, cysts and fibroids. Marigold is also used for dysmenorrhea.

Crane’s bill is another very potent herb and healer of wounds, it regulates blood circulation and works as a mild sedative. It is a strong antioxidant which prevents infections and boosts the immunity. It also contains tannins which prevent heavy bleeding.

Golden maca has been used for over two millennia in traditional medicine of the Andes as an adaptogenic herb, helping the body to adapt to harsh environmental conditions, increasing stamina and endurance. It balances hormones and has a very beneficial overall effect, both on the body and mind. It eliminates depression and brain fog, and is particularly useful in stopping the pre-menstrual energy and mood roller-coaster. Its alkaloids work against infertility.

Shepherd’s purse can regulate uterine contraction, blood flow and balance menstrual bleeding. It heals wounds and burns and is also very beneficial for the heart.

These six medicinal herbs, together with zinc which is a potent essential element and antioxidant, are assembled in Femisan A in well-studied doses, aiming to help women from the moment they enter puberty, till the menopause. Femisan A, the potent protector of women, brings us closer to nature.
