For a safe and effective way to use essential oils: dilute it with a carrying oil like almond oil or coconut oil. To reduce the risk of an allergic reaction, be cautious and avoid ingesting it or using it undiluted.
Essential oils have been used for centuries and are now being used by many holistic practitioners to assist with hormonal concerns. The benefits of essential oils are extraordinary!
Foods and Oils that Improve Hormonal Imbalances Include:
Egg yolk is very good for thyroid health since it contains iodine and choline.

Flax seed oil

When you need to rebuild the immune system, cleansing gentle herbs would be a good direction to go. Certain herbs such as maitake mushrooms, burdock root, essiac tea, dandelion, astragalus, pau d’ arco, and turmeric are just a few herbs to help improve your hormones through the digestive tract.
Herbs and Spices that are Safe to Cook with Include:
Rosemary extract
Cinnamon
Ginger

Establishing a consistent pattern to take your herbs might be another important way to improve your hormonal balance daily. Estrogen, obviously, can be the culprit affecting many of the hormones in a woman’s body. Ever wonder why a woman may get thyroid problems during pregnancy or after giving birth? There’s your answer!
It’s important to know that hormonal imbalances are not necessarily permanent. You can do many things now to take control of your health and start living and functioning optimally, naturally!
