5 Herbal Pillars for Vibrant Hormonal Health

Ahh, hormones.  From menarche to menopause (and even sometimes beyond), we live in the cyclic flow of reproductive and generative hormones like estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH, prolactin, and more.Our ovaries and brains are involved, and not surprisingly, our hormones are impacted by almost everything we do, including our stress, our sleep, our activity levels, our food, and even our exposures to environmental toxins. There's really nothing in our lives that doesn't somehow impact our hormonal health. Which is what makes it so fascinating, and also sometimes complicated. That said, from an herbal perspective there are some foundational pillars that can support overall hormonal well-being, which I prefer NOT to call balance, and instead to think of as a vibrant and healthy "dynamic flow."Listen to this episode to learn:why I don't like to refer to hormonal health as "balance"how preventative herbal approaches are essential in hormonal health5 foundational keys to supporting your hormoneswhy I consider softening to be an essential component and what this meanswhat Ayurveda teaches us about nourishing our sexual + reproductive organsResources:Gardening for your menstrual health (free guide)Dandelion Love recipes (free collection)Episode 11: Herbal spotlight on dandelionEpisode 12: Medicinal teas for your hormonal healthEpisode 13: Vitalist approach to balancing hormones with Heather LunaEpisode 17: How stress messes with our hormonesEpisode 18: Herbal uterine tonicsEpisode 22: Herbal spotlight on nettlesIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!
