Keeping hormones in balance can be a tough challenge. There are many individuals with hormonal imbalances and they don’t even know it. Despite tests for abnormal thyroid function, they don’t always acknowledge a thyroid that isn’t functioning properly. The same can be said for the adrenals. When they are overtaxed, the imbalance that follows can be quite challenging. There are top-quality natural remedies for hormonal imbalance.

How to tell

Under-producing glands will have some symptoms that are different from glands that are over-producing. But there are some symptoms that are shared across the board.

If you notice that you experience several of these symptoms, it could point to a hormonal imbalance:

• Aches and pain in the muscles
• Anxiety
• Confusion and lack of mental clarity
• Depression
• Fatigue
• Memory loss
• Migraines
• Muscle weakness
• Sexual dysfunction
• Swelling
• Weight loss or gain without doing anything new/different

A chiropractor, naturopath, or specialist can help you determine if you have a hormonal imbalance. Medical doctors often prescribe medications, but in most cases, the imbalance can be corrected with a natural treatment. These treatments are highly beneficial in treating hormonal imbalances. They can be done separately or combined.

 

Herbs & Oils

There are several herbs and essential oils that work wonders when it comes to balancing hormones. Ashwagandha is at the top of the list for treating overactive or sluggish thyroid as well as overtaxed adrenals. It’s available as a tablet, capsule, in powder form, or as a liquid. Mixing ¼ to ½ teaspoons of powder into some milk with honey and drinking it just before bed can help sleep, calm stress and balance the hormones. Various oils like clary sage, lavender, and sandalwood help reduce stress and promote wellbeing. Hormonal balance comes as a natural result. Put 3 to 5 drops in a diffuser and breathe in.

 

Nutritional Balance

Hormonal imbalance can often be the result of stress, whether emotional stress from everyday life or physical stress from poor habits like not getting the proper amount of sleep and not maintaining a proper diet. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are vital for heart health, vibrant skin and hormonal balance.

Other nutrients include vitamin D, B complex, and magnesium. If not getting enough in the foods you eat, then consider supplements. Give the body a great boost by taking probiotics and reaping the healing properties of bone broth. Bone broth is available in powder or liquid or you can make your own. There is intense nutrition in broth so incorporating it into your diet is a very wise decision.

Natural Balance

Chiropractic is a powerful treatment for hormonal imbalance. It focuses on the heart of factors that cause the body to go out of balance and treats the problem at the root. It can relieve stress in the body and reduce and eliminate pain, which can contribute to hormonal imbalances. It is considered one of the best natural treatments for hormonal imbalance because it brings the body back into balance.

The whole-body approach that chiropractic offers means that you get recommendations on:

• Healthy diet
• Exercise
• Lifestyle changes

All of these work together to balance your body and balance hormones for a healthier, happier you.
