Being an 'hormonal woman' may be common but it isn't normal...

​

We're often led to believe that pain and suffering are just a normal part of the female experience, but in fact, these things are not normal and they should not be an inevitable aspect of womanhood.

​

When everything is in balance, the premenstrual period and the period around ovulation should feel like every other day of the month. If you are experiencing symptoms such as low moods, bloating, cramping, pain, sugar/salt cravings, fluid retention and headaches then this is a strong indication that your hormones are out of balance.

 

Hormones are intimately connected to many aspects of our health and well-being, and there is a multitude of factors that may influence the sensitive balance. Simple dietary and lifestyle adjustments, along with suitable nutritional supplements and/or herbal medicines can help to rebalance our body's systems, allowing you to feel great again no matter the time of the month!
