Why it Matters for Hormones + 3 Gentle Herbs to Try

If you’re dealing with PMS, perimenopausal symptoms, or hormonal ups and downs, one of the best places to look for support is your liver.

The liver plays a huge role in metabolizing hormones—especially estrogen. When it’s overburdened (from stress, diet, or environmental exposures), excess estrogen can build up in the body, leading to symptoms like breast tenderness, mood swings, bloating, and heavy periods.

Here are 3 gentle herbs I turn to for liver support:

• Milk thistle – A classic liver herb that helps regenerate liver cells and protect the liver from damage. It’s very gentle and safe for long-term use.

• Dandelion root – Stimulates bile production and supports the liver in breaking down hormones and toxins. Great in tea or tincture form.

• Schisandra berries – An adaptogenic liver tonic used in traditional Chinese medicine. It supports both detoxification and stress resilience.

Supporting your liver isn’t just about detox—it’s about hormonal harmony. These herbs can be a powerful addition to your toolkit, especially when used consistently over time.
