Yin Yang balance is the underlying principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In TCM it is believed that PCOS is due to the imbalance between Yin and Yang. PCOS occurs as a result of Yang deficiency in Spleen and Kidney.

As PCOS and Pre PCOS are conditions caused by the lack of Yang energy, consuming foods that provide Yang energy are beneficial to help reverse PCOS. Food with Yang energy includes red meat, fish, kale, tomatoes, carrots, tofu, black mushrooms, black fungus, ginger. Some fruits and nuts also contain yang energy these include strawberries, kiwis, oranges, goji berries, walnuts, sesame seeds.

3. Exercise to boost Yang energy
Regular Running, cycling, fast walking help increase your heart rate and make your body sweat. When your body sweats it removes cold, cold dampness from inside your body helping you increase your Yang energy. Increasing the Yang every helps you reverse PCOS.

Because of this, it is very important to keep your feet warm to help reverse PCOS.
Here are some methods to help keep your feet warm:
Soak your feet in a bowl of hot water 15 – 30 minutes before going to be. To help increase the effectiveness you can also add some herbal ingredients such as ‘ Ai, Hong Hua’ or ‘ Gui Zi’ in the bowl of hot water.
