Hormones play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the whole body and therefore it becomes essential to keep a check to ensure that the hormones are working optimally.
Several different hormones function silently within the body carrying out their respective functions. For example, insulin and estrogen work like chemical messengers in the body. These hormones remain in our blood stream and perform critical functions that regulate the growth of the body, metabolism of the food consumed to release energy and even has its role in expressing emotions. With such regulating processes being carried out by the hormones, it directly implies that any drop of hormone activity can lead to body imbalance. Simple side effects caused due to hormonal imbalance can be putting up excess weight, anemia or even stress situations.
After years of study and researches, it has been proven that the best way to keep the hormones in optimal functioning is to have a proper diet plan that includes more of healthy and fresh fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Certain foods like avocados and coconut oil have been proven to have their mode of action directed at the hormones improving their performance and maintaining the balance of the hormones in the body. This has been attributed to the high level of essential fatty acids in them.
With the current lifestyle, it sometimes becomes necessary to give an extra boost to the hormones to ensure that they are working in proper order or there is a necessity to prevent hormonal imbalances. Essential oils play their role in providing that extra push for the hormones and create an overall goodness feeling.
We are well aware of the fact that the skin is the largest organ of the human body. They play a crucial role in keeping away infections, toxic substances and other foreign particles from entering the body. But the pores do let in substances when applied on it especially on rubbing into it. This property of the skin holds true for its ability to absorb in the essential oils that are made of very minute particles.
Researches conducted on the ability of the skin to absorb particles have proven that those of molecular weight of less than 1000 m can be successfully pulled in by the skin. Essential oils have an effective chemical weight less than this threshold value. The particles of the essential oil that cross the skin barrier finds its way into the blood stream underlying the skin. These find their way into the disease locations and works like a therapeutic.
In spite of their absorption through the skin, there are also other modes of taking in the essential oils to the blood stream to work their magic on the body. Then can be inhaled by using a diffuser and even consumed through the mouth when the essential oil involved is in its pure state.
Essential oils are basically in highly concentrated powerful forms. A simple pointer to this can be known from the fact that about 65 pounds of rose petals go into the making of a small 15 mL bottle of the respective essential oil. This shows that a small amount of the oil can work huge benefits. Being in the concentrated form, a few drops of the oil can be diluted in water before using it on the body. There are several different kinds of essential oils and each one has different properties. Clove and oregano oils do great benefits to the body, but they should not be consumed internally for more than a week.
This 4 ingredient serum has been proven to work its benefits on hormonal balance. I personally love this as it is natural, homeopathic and of course it is effective. It is a perfect mix of clary sage oil and thyme oil.
Looking at the individual mode of action of the clary sage oil, the mode of action on the betterment of the body is by leveling the production of estrogen. The presence of excess estrogen in the body can lead to several disease conditions like cancer and infertility. Estrogen is a female body hormone and clary sage oil is especially effective in women to get rid of the PMS cramps.
The other essential oil used in this serum is thyme oil and it has its action on levelling progesterone production. It works by increasing the level of the hormone as it is basically low in both males and females. Sudden and immense reduction in the level of the progesterone level can lead to adverse effects on the body like increase in body weight, mood fluctuations and lethargy.
We usually resort to chemical cures for any hormonal issues by treating it with prescription medicines and hormone production therapies. You can approach a hormonal imbalance issue in the natural way by adding a bottle each of clary sage oil and thyme oil to the medicine cupboard at home.
The other two ingredients that go into the serum are ylang ylang oil and primrose oil. These will give an extra power to your mix and they even have a great smell.
The preparation is rather simple as you just have to mix the 4 ingredients and store it in a glass vial with a dropper cap. The serum has to be applied and rub into the skin at the neck area two times per day. This will help to keep a control over the hormone balances in the body and proper functioning body will keep you feeling fresh and nice all day long.
Constituents

- Clary sage oil, thyme oil, ylang ylang oil: 30 drops each
Method of Preparing
Keep a glass vial bottle prepared before mixing the above mentioned ingredients in a 2 ounce bottle. Fill the mix into the vial and close with a dropper cap.
