5 Effective Ways to Balance Women’s Hormones
As women, our hormones can sometimes feel like they’re working against us. Whether it’s PMS, irregular periods, or mood swings, hormonal imbalances can be frustrating and disruptive to our daily lives. But there are natural ways to support hormonal balance and promote overall wellness
1. Use supplements:
Certain supplements can help regulate hormones. For example, fatty acids reduce inflammation and improve menstrual cycle regularity is important for reproductive health and can also improve mood.
2. Incorporate natural remedies
Reducing stress through practices like yoga and meditation can help balance cortisol levels, which can in turn balance other hormones.
3. Herbal remedies
Certain herbs, such as chasteberry, maca root, ashwagandha have been traditionally used to support hormonal balance in women. These herbs are known to regulate menstrual cycles, improve mood, increase energy levels and relieve symptoms of PMS. I’ve been using Global Healing’s Women’s Hormone Balance for so long, I can’t even remember. It has the herbs mentioned above that I need to balance my hormones and keep me feeling my best.
4. Use Essential Oils
Using essential oils can help balance women’s hormones by regulating menstrual cycles, reducing PMS symptoms, reducing stress, reducing inflammation, and supporting thyroid function. Clary sage, lavender, peppermint, ginger, frankincense, myrrh, and rosemary are all essential oils that can be beneficial for hormonal balance in women. For example, clary sage oil can help stimulate the production of estrogen, while lavender oil can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce PMS symptoms.
5. Get enough sleep
Seriously, folks, getting enough sleep is the ultimate cure-all for just about anything! Sleep can help balance women’s hormones by allowing the body to produce and regulate hormones properly. During sleep, the body produces and releases hormones like melatonin, cortisol, and growth hormone, which are all important for hormonal balance. Lack of sleep can disrupt the production and regulation of these hormones, leading to hormonal imbalances. Having trouble sleeping at night? Take a look at my blog post where I spill the tea on how I overcame insomnia.
It’s definitely not easy dealing with hormonal imbalances. They can really throw us off and make it hard to feel like ourselves. But don’t worry, sometimes just making small adjustments to our diet, exercise routine, or stress levels can make a big difference in how we feel. Keep taking care of yourself!
