Balancing Harmones

Hormones play an important role in our health as they affect many of the body’s processes. More often than not, hormonal imbalances are caused by changes in estrogen and are more common in females than males.

Common symptoms of this problem include anxiety, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, fatigue, weight problems, excess hair growth or hair loss, migraines, low sex drive, oily or dry skin, acne, food cravings, premenstrual syndrome, infertility and others.

Home Remedies:

Fenugreek seeds contain a phytoestrogen called diosgenin that is believed to have an estrogenic effect.It also helps improve glucose metabolism, thus proving useful for diabetics to lower blood sugar and glucose metabolic disorder associated with obesity.

Raw Carrots contain a unique fiber that helps detox excess estrogen from the body. Both men and women of all ages (from puberty and older) benefit from this practice, since estrogen dominance – or too much estrogen in the body.

Drink about three litres of water every day to prevent dehydration and cut down on hormonal headaches.

Sleep is when our body recovers from any imbalance it may have suffered throughout the day. Lack of sleep swings hormones into over-drive. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night.

Note: Please consult doctor for this case.
