It is becoming really obvious that knowing what our natural hormonal balances and imbalances are would be extremely helpful in deciding which herbs to use in our programs. Perhaps the reason that this is so hard for some women (and doesn't even seem to work at all for some, while others grow quickly) is because they are trying the phytoestrogen approach when they are already estrogen-dominant, or maybe they are trying with progesterone when they need estrogen...
The hormone tests online are so unclear...I checked boxes in every category, but I can't possibly be all of those things...I'd be the most unbalanced person on the planet! So, it would be good if we could find out which symptoms are unique to which imbalances and really pinpoint our own hormonal tendencies, without bloodwork.
Then we could devise much more effective programs, I bet.
