Members shared practical at-home remedies for managing PCOS-related pelvic pain, cramping, and body aches beyond relying solely on ibuprofen and Tylenol. Several members recommended magnesium in various forms, including powders mixed into water, capsules, and topical sprays, with one member noting that the liquid powder form seemed more effective for overall muscle relaxation while the spray helped target specific pain areas. A recurring theme was exploring natural supplements like lavender capsules for anxiety and muscle tension, with one member referencing an NIH study showing lavender extract may help regulate progesterone levels in PCOS as effectively as metformin, and raspberry leaf tea for hormone regulation and cramping relief.

It’s the CalmAid Lavender Capsules that each contain 80mg of clinically studied lavender extract called Silexan. I take 2 every morning!
