The Importance of Having Balanced Female Hormones

Female hormones are crucial to a woman’s reproductive health. The main hormones affecting the menstrual cycle and fertility are produced by glands in the brain and by the ovaries. Those hormones regulate menstruation, fertility and sex drive, any one of which can be adversely affected if the production of these hormones goes out of balance, further hormonal changes gradually cause reproductive organs to shut down eventually leading to menopause and female hormone imbalance symptoms.  Apart from those important points, female hormones also help to maintain good health and have anti-aging properties.  Despite popular belief menopause and menopause symptoms can also be reversed.
