There are times in a woman’s life when the usual
balance in her menstrual cycle may be disrupted. External and internal factors
can effect hormone balance, manifesting in a range of symptoms. There are many
ways in which the alternative practitioner can help restore balance.
It is important to mention that the naturopathic approach is to
treat the individual. Every woman will present with her own particular story. A
naturopathic consultation allows the practitioner to explore the underlying
factors and suggest appropriate herbs, supplements , dietary and lifestyle
changes.
The liver is a very important organ to
support with hormone imbalance due to its action of clearing hormones from the
body. Herbs such as St. Mary’s thistle, Schisandra, Dandelion root
&Bupleurum will improve liver function. Starting the day with warm water
and lemon juice, eating bitter greens and reducing intake of coffee &
alcohol will also help.
Phytoestrogens are compounds found in herbs
and food that are similar in chemical structure to oestrogen. These compounds
are able to bind to receptors on the cell walls, having a regulatory effect on
oestrogen levels.
