Resolving Hormone Imbalance Naturally

If you’ve been hearing about bio-identical hormones – make no mistake: there is nothing outside the body – nothing that is produced in a lab – that is biologically identical to what the body produces. Even if it looks, tastes and smells the same, the body has wisdom beyond our understanding and it is never tricked. This term is very misleading when applied to chemically produced hormone products.

When healthy women approach the time when their ovaries produce fewer hormones, other glands (especially the adrenals) and organs can take over the job of subsidizing hormone production. When these alternate glands and organs are not able to produce our “individual normal” amount of hormones, we can experience symptoms as diverse as hot flashes, depression, insomnia, weight gain, forgetfulness, and brain fog.

The antidote is always the same. Dig beyond the symptoms and get to cause. You can heal yourself. Sometimes it’s hard to see the problems in our own lives. If this is your situation, then find a highly skilled and experienced natural health teacher/counselor to guide you. When you learn how to care for yourself, the knowledge will be yours for a lifetime.


Many plant foods and herbs contain hormone precursors – raw materials that the body can convert into hormones on demand. If they are not needed, they simply pass through the body and produce no side effects. These foods and herbs can help bridge the gap until a woman has built her body up to the point where it can handle normal hormone production.

There are also plant foods and herbs that can help relieve your symptoms with no ill effects. Again, consult a highly skilled and experienced natural health teacher/counselor who can work with your specific needs.
