How does Ayurveda address hormonal balance?

Ayurveda views hormonal balance as essential for overall health. It emphasizes the use of specific herbs, dietary changes, and lifestyle practices to promote balance. For example, herbs like ashwagandha and shatavari are known for their adaptogenic properties, helping the body adapt to stress and maintain hormonal equilibrium. Additionally, Ayurveda encourages practices such as regular exercise, proper sleep, and stress management techniques to support hormonal health. If you are seeking support for hormonal issues while under NHS care, discussing Ayurvedic principles with your healthcare provider can provide a complementary approach to your treatment.
