5 herbs to help balance your hormones:
1. Chasteberry supports symptoms related to PMS, infertility, acne, and much more. It is a great herb to balance female hormones. Chasteberry, also known as Vitex, works by decreasing levels of prolactin, which in return balances out estrogen and progesterone.

3. Ginger is an amazing herb to balance female hormones. Ginger has been used as a spice for its many medicinal properties. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory and is commonly used to treat nausea.
