When your hormones are out of sync, everything feels harder, from your mood to your sleep and even your skin. Sound familiar?
In my blog 5 Top Hormone Balancing Supplements for Women, I shared my top five powerful supplements that can help bring your body back into harmony, and Adaptogens are one of them.
Adaptogenic herbs are natural plants that help your body adapt to stress, restore balance, and build resilience. These herbs are particularly effective for supporting the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis, which controls your stress response and is often a root cause of hormonal imbalances.
Top Adaptogenic Herbs for Women
Ashwagandha: This powerful herb reduces cortisol levels, eases anxiety, and supports better sleep. It’s particularly helpful for women with adrenal fatigue or symptoms of perimenopause.
Rhodiola: Known for its energy-boosting properties, rhodiola improves mental clarity and combats fatigue, making it ideal for women feeling burned out.
Maca Root: Maca is often referred to as a hormone balancer, supporting the regulation of estrogen and progesterone levels while boosting energy and libido.
Holy Basil (Tulsi): Tulsi helps lower stress hormones and inflammation, creating a calming effect while supporting overall hormonal health.
How to Use Adaptogens
Adaptogenic herbs can be taken as capsules, powders, or teas. For best results, consistency is key. Since each adaptogen has unique properties, working with a Functional Nutritionist like myself can help you select the right herbs and dosages tailored to your hormonal needs.
