The commonest phrase we hear when asked for any visible illness is ‘Hormonal Imbalance’. Well, Are hormones so important for us? Are they so influential? How do we balance them? These are the series of questions that will pop in our minds as soon as we hear that phrase.

It is would be right to say that Hormones are the fuel on which our body metabolisms are carried out. They are important for the control, coordination and regulation of the body systems. It is surprising to know that you can bloat up like balloon or become as lean as a stick when the hormones loose their balance!

To maintain proper built and good health it is very essential that these hormones strike the right balance!

Here are some prescribed ways to balance the hormones:

• Buy organic foods as far as possible, try to avoid the high-end fruits. It is advised to use filtered water rather than package drinking water, the packed or tinned foods have a component called Bisphenol A which disrupts your hormonal balance.

• It is a known fact that Liver is the terminator of excess hormones produced by our body if we feed our Liver right, the hormones can be balanced aptly! It requires the plant nutrients from the leafy veggies such as broccoli, cabbage, kale, cauliflower; it also needs the sulfur compounds found in garlic and onions. Try including these foods into your diet and you will be startled at the difference it will make!

• Especially in women it is beneficial to ensure proper pelvic circulation by an oil massage with sesame oil with few drops of garlic oil or by applying the compress of hot tea with freshly chopped ginger!!

Besides, always consult a medical practitioner for undying hormonal woes!!

Take Care!!
