Dear Bob Liebert,

I have polycystic ovary syndrome, and am very hirsute, as well as having acne. I am seeing a homeopath and am taking calcium carbonium' for other symptoms, but it is not helping my excess hair or acne. I have bee told Saw Palmetto could help, but would there be any risk re: mixing treatments etc? My homeopath cannot advise on herbs.

Marsha

Dear Friend,

I would suggest as well our Chaste Berry extract, to which the Saw Palmetto can be added. The formula is a very good hormonal balancer. I would suggest the Skintone Formula along with these; it aids in acne and the liver in general in breaking down excess hormones. Red Clover tea can be drunk as well.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
