Herbal Remedies for Balancing Hormones
Now there are a wide variety of herbs that can help with balancing your
hormones, or boosting your nutrition and health levels. When you boost your
nutrition and health in general, this helps the body start balancing the
hormone levels itself. All of which give you the end results of feeling much
better, and resolving various health complaints and problems you may have
suffered from over the years.
As we mentioned in an earlier article, many hormonal problems are caused by
dysfunctions in the body's glandular systems. One of the most important glands
for balancing hormones is the thyroid. When the thyroid is not functioning
well, it can cause a wide variety of problems. Some of these include lack of
energy, moodiness and depression, or weight gain.
One herb which is excellent for regulating the thyroid is Kelp. This herb is
also quite high in natural iodine, iron, and potassium - all of which are
critical minerals for women during menstruation particularly. Many other
vitamins, minerals and nutrients are supplied by this herb as well though, and
these contribute to your overall health and wellness. Some include various B
vitamins, calcium, and magnesium.
Taking herbs which are excellent sources of various vitamins and minerals is a
way to boost your overall health and wellness too, especially when you're
unable to get adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables into your diet. There
are several herbs which can be used as natural daily vitamins though. Kelp is
just one of those.
Parsley is another herb which can be used as a general daily vitamin to help
improve your overall health, and balance your hormone levels. Parsley is the
highest source of iron in any green vegetable, and it has three times as much
Vitamin C as citrus. This herb is also high in Vitamins A and B, plus it's
wonderful for regulating a woman's menstrual cycle.
Parsley shouldn't be used by women who are nursing though, because it helps
dry up milk in the breasts.
Dandelion root is yet another herb which is very nutritious. This herb is
particularly helpful in stimulating the liver though, which helps the body
clear out built up toxins, wastes, and bacteria which could be throwing your
hormones out of balance.
Alfalfa is another highly nutritious herb which should be on your list of
options for daily vitamin and nutrition boosting. Alfalfa has eight of the
essential amino acids our bodies need. Amino acids can't be made by our body,
so they have to be gotten from our food sources instead. Alfalfa is quite high
in Vitamins A and K, plus iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and many other
vitamins and minerals too.
