Since ancient times, women have been using cosmetics. Powder, blush, lipstick, etc. - all these tricks are designed to give the skin an even tone, cheeks - a pleasant glow, and lips - a rich color, indicating excellent circulation and, therefore, the health of the cardiovascular system. In general, the woman's appearance testified to the state of her hormonal background. And if something was wrong with him, plant hormones were used: there was no “chemistry" in antiquity. And when she replaced natural remedies, complications began due to side effects. Today, more and more women are trying to use herbal preparations. We will talk about their properties.
Signs of health
The state of the hormonal background determines the health of a woman. As you know, the appearance and reproductive ability of the fair sex depend on the level of estrogen. And thanks to this hormone, youth is prolonged and beauty is preserved for many years. And a man in ancient times knew: if a woman is beautiful, then she is healthy.
However, it must be borne in mind that the standards of attractiveness at the dawn of mankind were somewhat different from modern ones. Today you can dye your hair purple or radical green - and it will also be considered beautiful.
Only at deep levels of the subconscious of a man do women still evaluate the woman's appearance in terms of her reproductive health. And its signs are just a beautiful natural complexion, a healthy glow, bright lips and eye gloss.
However, all this splendor can be demonstrated on the condition of regular and prolonged contact with fresh air and, at a minimum, maintaining a healthy lifestyle. And this when sticking in front of computer monitors is not entirely realistic. So modern beauties "plaster" their faces, giving out wishful thinking.
Markers of hormonal imbalance
A woman can also determine a malfunction in the hormonal system on her own, for this it is simply necessary to observe her mood and health. Signs of trouble will be:
- frequent mood swings, independent of objective reasons;
- low emotional background, manifested constantly;
- constant fatigue that does not pass even after the weekend;
- tides, sweating;
- reduced sexuality or rejection of sex;
- women's health problems, infertility or miscarriages.
All of these signs, or only a part of them, indicate that the body requires increased attention to itself. A reduced estrogen level primarily signals emotional instability: a balanced, friendly woman begins to break down on those close to trifles, she does not have enough strength for household chores, her facial expression becomes dissatisfied and noticeable wrinkles appear corresponding to the prevailing facial expressions.
In order to somehow cope with the manifestations of an imbalance, taking pills begins, which can for some time eliminate the effect, but not the cause. Perhaps, in this case, you should turn to plants: the female hormones contained in them, gently restore health.
The two sides of estrogen
Estrogen with the right lifestyle is on guard of female beauty and health.
However, from the time of menopause, the ovaries begin to produce a “different” estrogen, which, due to a slowed metabolism, accumulates in the body and leads to its malfunction. If this issue is not addressed, then further development of deviations leading to oncology is possible. To support hormonal balance, lignans are needed. These are phenolic components found in plants, or hormones that can withstand the negative effects of estrogen.
Chemistry and nature
It is no secret that prolonged use of artificial hormonal drugs is dangerous complications. In particular, the body is arranged in such a way that if any system is not involved for a long time, then it begins to atrophy. Using synthetic hormonal drugs for a long time, a woman intervenes in the natural rhythm of the reproductive system. That is, the brain receives information that there is enough estrogen, and does not send a signal about its production to the appropriate organs. They get used to "rest" and slowly begin to "lay down their powers." Discontinuation of the drug leads to an even greater imbalance of the hormonal system.
Two options are possible:
- The systematic use of synthetic hormones.
- Use information about plants containing hormones.
The second option is shown after consulting a gynecologist and conducting an examination in order to exclude other diseases that have similar symptoms.
Benefits of a Natural Pharmacy
The pantry of nature is truly limitless. Many of her secrets have not yet been fully studied or discovered. But even those at our disposal allow us to restore health without resorting to "chemistry." This is especially effective at the initial stage of the disease.
Plant hormones compare favorably with those artificially created by the gentleness of the effect on the body. They are easily absorbed and excreted, do not have a cumulative effect due to the existing ability to self-destruction and are not addictive. In addition, herbal treatment, as a rule, is directed not to one specific organ, but to the whole human body.
However, one should not think that "harmless herbs" can be taken on the basis of "liked - did not like."
Safety precautions
There are several factors to consider before choosing a method of restoring health:
- stage of the disease: if it is at a critical point, it is better to turn to traditional medicine methods and not to self-medicate;
- an accurate diagnosis made by a specialist after the examination;
- synthetic and herbal preparations should not "intersect";
- a herbalist must be qualified;
- plants are best acquired from persons with knowledge and experience in the collection and preparation of plants for use;
- you should be aware that pharmaceutical raw materials are not always collected in the required period of time of the day, in the desired phase of the moon and in accordance with the season suitable for a particular plant.
Having made a choice in favor of hormones contained in plants, it is necessary to carry out treatment with infusions or decoctions, taking into account recommendations regarding the dose and time of their administration. As for the preparation, it is better to carry out it in a water bath and fill the collection not with boiling water, but with water cooled down to 80 ˚C. Critical days or pregnancy with the use of herbal therapy are not combined.
And one should not hope for an instant effect: nature does not like to rush, but always arrives on time.
Classification
Regulation of the level of female sex hormones with the help of herbs is divided depending on the direction of exposure. Based on this feature, a sorting system was formed, which is shown below:
- plants that regulate the menstrual cycle, start or stop it;
- herbs that cause uterine tone;
- natural components that control sex drive.
Plant hormones are also divided into types:
- Stimulating nerve endings in the musculoskeletal and reproductive systems, as well as in other adjacent organs. The active elements of plants, called lignans and isoflavones, have an identical structure to female hormones.
- Imitation plants that do not interact with receptors, but only affect physiological mechanisms, like hormones.
- Herbal components that stabilize the pituitary gland, from which the signals of the endocrine and hormonal systems are received.
Herbal therapy is indicated for women approaching or entering menopause and cannot be used in cases of severe abnormalities.
Plant names
The versatility of the effect has any plant. Isoflavones containing female hormones include the following:
- red or meadow clover is used both for menopause and skin diseases and inflammations of different etymologies;
- black claw or uncaria felt has been studied relatively recently, therefore, it requires caution in use;
- cultivated soybeans - an annual plant of the legume family;
- angelica root or angelica officinalis.
The components of these plants (isoflavones) are enhancers for estrogen. The spectrum of their effects is quite wide: the cardiovascular system, bone strengthening, treatment of the skin, increased metabolism and elimination of carcinogens.
Lignans are found in flax seeds, grape seeds, the root system of burdock and nettle dioecious and sage, which has an analgesic effect in PMS. In addition, these hormones work at the cellular level, which prolongs the period of youth and strengthens the immune system.

3. Asparagus strengthens reproductive function, useful in the initial stages of pregnancy. It also helps to prolong the youthfulness of the skin.
4. Siberian ginseng and prickly Eleutherococcus are used as a means of controlling cortisol (stress hormone). Thanks to this, the body's ability to produce testosterone increases.
But their effect is noticeable after prolonged use and it is advisable to combine use with the cycles of the lunar month: starting from the new moon and adding one drop of tincture every day - until the full moon. This is followed by a decrease also by one drop - until the new moon.
