5 Natural Ways to Help Hormonal Imbalance
Hormones play an important role in our bodies because they help to regulate certain functions such as digestion, metabolism, sleep, stress, and mood, among others. Our hormones are what tell us what we should be feeling. Are we sad? Are we tired? Are we lacking the energy we need to get through the day?
The Signs of Hormonal Imbalance
If you are experiencing any of the following signs and symptoms, then you may be suffering from hormonal imbalance:
- Are you experiencing unexplained weight gain?
- Are you breaking out more than usual?
- Are you noticing increased amounts of body and facial hair?
- Do you find that your hair is beginning to thin?
- Are your nails and hair feeling brittle?
- Are your eyes puffy even after a full night of sleep?
Alongside these external symptoms of a hormonal balance, you may also experience night sweats, water retention, decreased energy, hot flashes, headaches, fatigue, and stiffness. You may also find that you are a bit more stressed or anxious, you may experience panic attacks, mood swings, irritability, or excessive worrying.
The following are five natural ways you can help hormonal imbalance, so you can find a healthy and safe way to balance your body and balance your life.

Great article. The info on thyme essential oil and progesterone was new to me.
Lavendar is my go-to oil. It’s so versatile. I make sure I don’t leave home without it. I use it to help me sleep, relax and I’ve also used it to treat a sunburn.

I love lavender oil and use it all the time but didn’t realize that it could help with balancing hormones.
I find that Zinc and Magnesium help with hormonal imbalances too. Unfortunately, I cannot take anything that promotes estrogen due to having severe endometriosis. I feel you should add a note in this article that talks about the contraindications of the suggested remedies.

I just received Lavender oil from Organic Aromas and LOVE it. The scent is a clean and pure, true lavender, without any chemical undertones. Smells like fresh, crushed buds. It’s nice, too, to know this application for hormonal issues. Thanks!
