Founder Story
It all started when Suchita (Founder of The Basics) was diagnosed with PCOS herself. She was prescribed the pill and while it did mask her symptoms it didn’t really solve the issue at its core. She wanted a sustainable long-term solution rather than a quick fix, because she knew that once she stopped taking the medication her symptoms would resurface. And that’s when she decided to come up with a solution herself. Through research, endless trials, guidance of Ayurvedic doctors and her own nutritional experience, Suchita came up with a natural and holistic approach to manage her PCOS. Along with making significant lifestyle and nutritional changes by using the power of food and exercise to heal, she also created the Herbal PCOS Tea- a powerful hormone balancing blend containing everything that’s amazing for PCOS in a brew.
