Default Great natural solution for facial hair

I have pcos and I've suffered from facial hair since my teens. Even when my weight was normal and my period was regular, I had the facial hair. But When I started using saw palmetto adn wild yam root together, my facial hair decreased about 90%. I get my products from Vitamin World and they are very effective.

Deb_614,
I am not really familiar with either of these but I am very interested can you tell me what amounts you take and what time of day you take them?

I take two of each in the morning. That works well for me but it may not matter what time of day you take them.

Hi deb_614,

Please can you tell me what brand you use for the wild yam root. And also do you take it for the whole month or do you take it for the 1st half of your cycle.

I too have the same problem as you, I have had normaol weight and have never missed a period since I was 13. However I have excess hair. Thanks for your help.

Hi deb_614,

I noticed you said you have experienced a 90% reduction in facial hair. can you tell me how long you have been taking saw palmetto and wild yam root to experience that reduction.

Also has you hair reduced on other places of the body.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing this information, how long had you taken these before you started noticing results? Have you had any side effects? I am new to using herbal stuff, but I have heard of the saw palmetto but not the wild yam root.

I take them everyday but I would think if you took them the 1st half of your cycle it may still work for you.

I noticed the change in about a week give or take a few days. I haven't noticed any significant decrease in hair in any other area. Good luck, if you try it let me know how it works.

I'm sorry I forgot to answer your second question. The brand I use is the Vitamin World brand Select Herbals.

Hi everyone, I said to myself if this works I promise to share it with you guys and post it, so here it goes. I battled with little chin hair and i hate it and was very embarrassed, I tried all kinds of vitamins and medicines which all did not work. Yes I have PCOS, I tried the saw palmetto with vitex and nothing happened!!!!!!!!! I saw this post and tried saw palmetto and wild yam root pills I 2 pills a day and my facial hair has been reduced by 90% just like the first poster wrote in as little as a week!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy my frustration is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope this post encourages someone else. There is hope!!!!!!!!!!!

This is good to know. I have been battling with facial hair for many years. I pluck my chin hairs everyday. I have to shave my upper lip everyday. Nothing is as degrading as having to shave your "mustache" in front of your husband. =/

So it reduces the hair 90 percent, does the hairfall out? How does it reduce?
