Natural Hormone Balancing: Herbs to Try Out

If you are struggling with a hormone imbalance, whether because your hormones are 
too high or too low, there are a few different natural remedies to try out. One you might 
want to consider is using herbs, especially your adaptogenic herbs. Herbs won’t just 
help with your hormone levels, but provide so many physical and emotional health 
benefits, that it couldn’t hurt to give them a try.


Ashwagandha

This is probably one of the best herbs you can possibly use for your hormonal balance 
issues, particularly among the adaptogenic herbs. Ashwagandha is used frequently for 
hormone imbalance in both men and women, especially for people who experience 
thyroid conditions or issues with their adrenal glands. It is safe for just about everyone 
to use, though it is always a good idea to speak to a doctor before you start taking this 
or other herbs for your hormonal balance.


Maca Root

Maca root is a very old herb used for healing purposes, from night sweats to sleeping 
issues. It can also help with hormonal imbalances that might be related to menopause 
or early menopause, infertility, or other female-oriented hormonal changes. Maca root is 
also great at increasing your energy levels, so if you are experience fatigue as a result 
of your hormonal level changes, then maca root is a great option. This is most 
commonly found as a tea, which works as a replacement for the coffee you are trying to 
reduce (because of the caffeine). 


Chaste Tree

If you have not heard of the chaste tree herb, now is an excellent time to become more 
familiar with it. Often referred to as Vitex or chasteberry, chaste tree is a natural herb 
that works wonders for your hormone levels. In fact, women who experience low libido 
or infertility are often recommended to use this natural remedy before trying harsh 
medications. 

It can help with balancing out your luteinizing hormone, increase libido and energy 
levels, and work to balance out your estrogen and progesterone.


Turmeric

Turmeric is a very common herb these days, as people are using for everything from 
improving their digestion to helping with inflammation in the body. It helps with this, as 
well as side effects of hormonal imbalances like headaches, menstrual cramps, and 
acne.

The herb black cohosh works very similar to turmeric if you want to try an alternative to 
turmeric.
