The importance of hormonal balance is becoming a popular topic, but you may be wondering what it looks like when your hormones are out of balance and how to fix it! Your hormones affect just about every aspect of your health! Let's talk about maintaining hormonal balance and how Good Fortune can help. Our Hormone Essential Oil blend is a natural alternative to help manage many hormonal issues, but we want to explain what makes it so magical!
What are hormones?
Hormones are natural chemicals your body releases to control vital functions throughout your body. Humans actually have over FIFTY hormones! Some you may know are estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, and adrenaline. Your hormones help maintain things like reproductive health, bone density, mood regulation, metabolic health, cardiovascular health, muscle mass, cognitive function, and stress response, to name just a few!
What's so bad about hormonal imbalance?
Producing too much or too little of any hormone can cause a wide range of issues that affect your health and quality of life. Your hormones are crucial to so many functions that their balance is quite delicate. Hormonal imbalance can lead to various diseases, worsened menopausal symptoms, menstrual issues, infertility, weight loss or obesity, abnormal blood sugar, abnormal blood pressure, mental health issues, and more.
How can I balance my hormones holistically?
Maintaining a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, lowering toxic load (we go over this in our last blog here!), and managing stress all balance your hormones. If you need a boost, essential oils can help! While they are not a cure-all, they can alleviate symptoms of hormone imbalance. You may have noticed that hormonal imbalance becomes a circular problem! If you don't manage your stress in a healthy way, it can throw your hormones out of balance, which in turn inhibits your body's ability to respond to stress. If you can't sleep, your hormones become imbalanced, causing even more sleep issues. Healthy symptom management is key in supporting your hormones!
