She Tweezed in Secret for 12 Years.
Then Her Grandmother Showed Her Two Things.

A dark jar of oil. A pouch of dried herbs.
This is the story of how a PCOS woman built a brand from her grandmother's hands.

By Nav · Founder, NutriNature™ · PCOS since 16

I used to check every mirror in every room before I sat down. Not out of vanity. Out of fear.

At sixteen, I was diagnosed with PCOS. Nobody warned me about the facial hair. Not my GP. Not the internet articles. Not even the women in my family — who, I'd later learn, had been hiding the same thing.

By my early twenties, I was threading every ten days. When that wasn't enough, I moved to waxing. When that wasn't enough, I tried laser — twelve sessions, over two thousand pounds. My chin hair came back. Sometimes coarser.

I carried tweezers in every bag I owned. I'd pull over on motorways to pluck in the rear-view mirror. I cancelled dates. I avoided fluorescent lighting. I sat in specific seats at restaurants so nobody would see my jawline at the wrong angle.

I spent twelve years and thousands of pounds trying to fix something that kept coming back. Because every solution I tried was cutting the output — not stopping the engine.

The Visit That Changed Everything.

When my grandmother visited from South Asia, she watched me going through my morning routine — the tweezing, the creams, the frustration. She didn't say much. She just placed two things on my bathroom counter.

"This is what we use. What your great-grandmother used. What her mother used. The jar at night. The cup every morning. Be patient."

Inside the dark glass jar was an oil made from a root I'd never heard of — Cyperus Rotundus. She called it Nagarmotha. The cloth pouch held eight dried herbs — spearmint, ashwagandha, cinnamon, raspberry leaf, the women's herbs.

I was sceptical. I'd spent thousands on clinical treatments. How could a root oil and an herbal tea do what laser couldn't?

But I was exhausted from trying. So I did what she said.

For the first time in over a decade, I went two full weeks without touching tweezers. I stared at my chin in the mirror and felt... nothing. No panic. No shame. Just skin.

What She Left Me

She gave me two things.

The dark jar of oil. The cloth pouch of eight dried herbs.
The oil for the outside. The tea for the inside.

"The oil for what shows in the mirror.
The tea for what nobody sees.
Together, they are how women have always cared for women."

Tradition Meets Research

The Remedy Modern Medicine Forgot.

Cyperus Rotundus is a perennial root documented in the Ebers Papyrus — one of the oldest medical texts in human history — as a remedy used by ancient Egyptian women to reduce unwanted hair growth.

For centuries, women across South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa have used it. But Western dermatology has largely ignored it — because there's no patent, no pharmaceutical margin, and no incentive to study a plant that costs pennies to grow.

What PCOS Does to Your Hair Follicles

Your body produces excess androgens — testosterone, DHT — that attach to receptors in the dermal papilla at the base of each hair follicle. This forces the follicle into overdrive. Thicker hair. Darker hair. Faster growth.

Waxing removes the hair. Threading removes the hair. Laser damages the follicle. But none of them stop the androgen signal. The engine keeps running. That's why it always comes back.

Cyperus Root doesn't cut the hair. It works on the root cause.

The root contains alpha-cyperone flavonoids — naturally anti-androgenic compounds traditionally used to support balanced follicle activity. Hair returns finer, lighter, slower over time.

I Wasn't the Only One.

When I started talking about my grandmother's two gifts in PCOS support groups, the messages flooded in. Hundreds of women with the same story. Same shame. Same wasted money. Same frustration.

So I turned grandmother's two jars into two products other women could hold.

The Elixir: Cold-pressed Cyperus Root with jojoba, sweet almond, lavender and tea tree. Designed for sensitive PCOS skin.

The Tea: 8 herbs in one warm cup — spearmint, ashwagandha, cinnamon, raspberry leaf, nettle, ginger, lemongrass, radix asparagi. The morning ritual.

Every batch is third-party tested. No synthetic hormones. No harsh chemicals. Vegan and cruelty-free.

⚠ Due to high demand, we limit orders to 5 bottles per customer. Don't wait for the next restock.
