How to naturally balance female hormones?

"The most important thing to keep in mind is that no woman has to suffer with hormone horrors at any stage in her life. There are answers for every woman at every stage."

Everyone can benefit from the benefits of a holistic and healthy lifestyle, which includes diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. You should incorporate more fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, plus an abundance of raw nuts and seeds into your diet. Foods such as processed carbohydrates, fried foods, soft drinks, enriched flour, processed vegetable oil and soy products may alter hormone balance. Also, avoid non-organic dairy products which may contain harmful bovine growth hormones, steroids, and antibiotics. These wreak havoc on a woman’s system. Work to add at least 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week, into your routine and give your body a healthy dose of full sunlight to help stabilize hormones. Getting out and taking a walk a couple of times a week will help get you the exercise you need, as well as the sunshine your body needs. It is also important that you support your liver's health because it is responsible for eliminating excess hormones present in your body (e.g. in the case of estrogen dominance). In addition, estrogen-mimicking chemicals found in many products and in the environment are eliminated by the liver. Therefore, supporting the liver is an important and essential part of treating hormonal imbalance.

Our Female Balance Concentrate is a great product for starting to balance your hormones. This herbal concentrate helps regulate and balance the female hormones, and is useful in treating menstrual cycle disorders, PMS, infertility, and menopausal issues. Its ingredients Chaste Tree, Wild Yam, and Dong Quai are great sources of phytoestrogen, a plant source of estrogen, and will help bring the progesterone and estrogen levels to normal levels allowing the body to return to a natural rhythm.

Our Female Tonic is very beneficial for women looking not only for hormone balancing but also for more energy and that extra spark in the bedroom. This is because, along with Dong Quai root, Wild Yam root, and Chaste Tree berry, this formula also has Damiana leaf, Licorice root, and Hops flower, which help to increase your libido and energy levels.

Damiana has been shown to help boost energy and reduce the effects of exhaustion. Traditionally, it has been used as an aphrodisiac and modern research supports this use as well. It's shown to increase the strength of eggs in females, and increase blood flow and stimulation in sexual organs.

Licorice root seems to prevent the breakdown of adrenal hormones such as cortisol (the body's primary stress-fighting adrenal hormone), making these hormones more available to the body. Licorice has a mild estrogenic effect, making the herb potentially useful in easing certain symptoms of PMS, such as irritability, bloating and breast tenderness.

Hops flower's estrogenic constituents make this plant useful in treating menopausal complaints, such as insomnia and hot flashes.
