My facial hair was the *first* thing that improved after I modified my diet and started to exercise. First the hair growth slowed, and then I stopped seeing so many coarse hairs. I still get 3-4 coarse black hairs every couple of days, but for awhile I was getting 10-15 coarse black hairs every day. |
Have to say I beg to differ on the stress being a factor, I'd say it has a huge effect on health as a whole which impacts the PCOS too. Androgens being a chemical word for a bad side effect of the body not working properly. Speaking holistically, when we're stressed, there's the effects of bad energy flow that do us absolutely no good. I see a marked regression in my symptoms if I'm having a bad time. Working with my mind aswell as the body has helped me immensely.
Overall the amount of hairs coming through has about halved since I changed the lifestyle. On the other end of the too-much-hair spectrum I don't have enough on my head, and that seems to be improving too.
It's amazing what the body will do when healing and righting itself, and what it'll do when it's out of synch as I'm sure everyone here knows.
