Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted directly into the blood which carries it to organs and tissues of the body to exert their functions.
Hormones are also chemical messengers produced by specialized glands like the like the endocrine glands, that travels through the bloodstream to targeted organs and tissues influencing various bodily function. All of these signals helps to regulate processes like growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, and mood but when even one hormone falls out of balance; a woman can feel like a stranger in her own body. fatigue, mood swings, irregular periods, weight gain, acne, hair thinning and anxiety may all be subtle cries for help.
Although, while synthetic treatment like birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy are common; I would firmly state that Natural remedy is best.
These Natural remedies helps to restore hormonal harmony. some of these are:
-SEED CYCLING: These includes Flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, helps to support different phases of the menstrual cycle.
Below are the phases:
*FOLLICULAR PHASE (Day 1-14):1 tablespoon each of grounded flaxseed and pumpkin seed helps to boost estrogen levels naturally.
*LUTEAL PHASE (Day 15-28):1 tablespoon each of grounded sunflower and sesame seeds also helps to support healthy progesterone.
WHY IS THIS REMEDY RECOMMENDED
Seeds has constituent of lignans quality fatty acids that binds to support the production of key hormones.
-ADAPTOGENIC HERBS: These are plants like:
*Ashwagandha: helps in lowering cortisol and supports thyroid function.
*Maca root: helps boost energy, libido and balances estrogen and progesterone.
*Holy basil(Tulsi):helps to reduce stress and helps to regulate the blood sugar.
In essence, adaptogens plants helps to manage stress(of which has been proven to be a major hormone disruption in the body).
Guide:Start with small doses first.Follow the guidance of a naturopath.
-HEALTHY FATS AND BALANCED NUTRITION:These includes:
*Omega-3 rich foods:like salmon,walnuts and Flaxseeds.
Note: Avoid trans fat and processed oil cause this disrupts hormonal signaling.Also, hormones are made from fats so;a low fat diet can starve your endocrine system.
Eat more of leafy green foods, cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and cauliflower)and fermented foods to support the liver detoxification.
-SLEEP: Aiming for at least 7-9 hours of quality sleep is the simplest but overlooked remedies. Poor sleep triggers an increase in cortisol and decreases melatonin thereby throwing off body's natural rhythm.
-EXERCISE: Consistent movement balances insulin, estrogen, and stress hormones but excessive workout can do more harm than good. choose hormone friendly exercises like walking, yoga, Pilate in moderation.
In conclusion; for natural remedies to offer profound healing; consistency is key.
Also, it's wise to consult with a holistic health practitioner or naturopath, before starting any new therapy.
