Although it is not always a simple task, on most days, I do help myself out through supplements, healthy eating, essential oils and exercise. Yes, it takes work, but it is well worth it! Anything worth doing can be a challenge. But, you should ask yourself: How good do I want to feel? Am I feeling sluggish and tired all of the time? What is the reason you are here actually reading this blog post? Are you sick and tired of gaining weight and cannot figure out why? Are you tired of not losing weight no matter how hard you try?

If you answered “yes” to any of those you may want to consider that you may have a hormonal imbalance. Here are My Favorite Natural Remedies For A Hormonal Imbalance.

Please remember I am not a health care professional, nor do I claim to be. These are supplements and essential oils in, My Favorite Natural Remedies For A Hormonal Imbalance, have helped me at one time or another. I do not take all of them everyday, but I will restart them if I feel they are needed. I am asked at least once a week what I do to keep my hormones in “tact”, like I said above, but first and foremost, I eat healthy and exercise regularly. Without those two components none of the below will help. So please keep that in mind as you read and learn about the below supplements and essential oils. Although we will not be tackling exercise and nutrition in this blog please keep that in mind.

The Endocrine System

Before we move forward you need to know what the Endocrine System is and what it does so you can understand this list of supplements and Essential Oils a little better, not to mention your own body a bit better.

The Endocrine System is the series of hormone producing glands and organs that help regulate metabolism, reproduction, blood pressure, appetite and many other body functions. The Endocrine System is mainly controlled by the hypothalamus region of the brain that either produces hormones that stimulate the other endocrine glands directly, or that stimulates the pituitary gland located just below it to release the hormones needed to stimulate the other endocrine glands. These hormones are released into the bloodstream, where they travel to other areas of the body to either stimulate other endocrine glands or to stimulate tissues and organs of the body directly. Some essential oils and supplements may act as hormones or stimulate the endocrine system to produce hormones that have a regulating effect on the body.

Keep In Mind

All of these supplements, essential oils and products are great for your Endocrine System, which can all lead to helping the hormones, as well as thyroid and auto-immune diseases.

Supplements

• Selenium: acts as a catalyst for the production of active thyroid hormones. Selenium acts as a powerful protector of the thyroid, and it regulates the production of reactive oxygen within the gland and protects it from antibodies that can create thyroid disease. You can read more about all of the health benefits of Selenium here. 
• Magnesium: I did a whole blog about Magnesium. Magnesium is amazing for SO many things! If you and your whole family are not using it, you need to start today! You can read more about all of the health benefits of Magnesium and other supplements that might be more helpful than the one mention above. 
• Tri-Iodine: provides three beneficial forms of iodine to nourish multiple body systems: a blend of potassium iodide, sodium iodide, and molecular iodine. Three forms of iodine provide a wider spectrum of benefits: Potassium iodide and sodium iodide for hormone balance and immune health.
• DHEA: aids in Weight Loss and Building Muscle Mass, as well as protecting against Depression, Cognitive Decline and Mood Swings just to name a few.When you have a hormonal imbalance of any kind you have a tendency to have more mood swings and this aids in helping at keeping the mood swings at bay. You can read more about all of the health benefits of DHEA here.
• Estriol-Care: is a women’s wellness product that helps balance the hormones in the body. It is absorbed through the skin is primarily for increasing estriol levels which are a form of estrogen lacking in menopausal or pre-menopausal women. Before you take this make sure this is the hormone that is needed. If it is not it could work against your body. Consult with you doctor.
