Nature’s Cure: 5 Essential Elements to Balancing Hormones Naturally

Many of the leading all-natural hormone balancing supplements claim to effectively manage many of the unpleasant symptoms of menopause by only using ingredients that come from Mother Earth. The big question is - do they work? The answer, which may surprise you, is YES. Many of the natural ingredients used in these products have been proven to help curb symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, and low libido.

Here’s an example of a few of the elements that you may find in natural hormone supplements:

Valerian Root: This has been known for thousands of years to provide a calming effect for agitation, and sleep effect for insomnia. It also alleviates hot flashes.

Damania: This is a natural herb from Central America that helps with anxiety, depression, headaches, and is most well-known as a natural aphrodisiac.

Don Quai: This is an herb found in the high altitudes of Japan and China. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine to alleviate menopausal symptoms including hot flashes and night sweats.

Black Cohosh: This, along with flax and chaste berry, are well-known to provide a natural hormone support. These help with hot flashes, cramping, and have well-known anti-inflammatory properties.

Maca: From the highest quality Peruvian plant, this can provide energy, decreased stress and increased libido.

Although none of these supplements is the be-all end-all solution to managing the symptoms of menopause, they can be extremely effective when combined with exercise, diet, and a healthy mindset.
