Hormone Health on a Budget: 6 Wallet-Friendly Habits You Can Start Today

Repeat after me: "It doesn't have to break the bank!" Achieving hormone health doesn't require shiny, expensive products.

In fact, some of the most effective habits are budget-friendly. Let's explore six client-favourite practices that won't strain your wallet but will make a significant impact on your hormonal well-being.

‍

1. Olive Oil as a Cleanser:

‍Natural face washes can be pricey, and non-natural options may harm your hormones. Opt for a budget-friendly alternative – standard olive oil. Skin is an oil-loving structure. Rub it in, then use a warm washcloth to remove makeup, leaving your skin nourished without the hefty price tag.

‍

2. Vinegar over Bleach:

‍Chlorine and hormones don't mix well. For a budget-friendly toilet cleaner, mix half a cup of bicarbonate of soda with half a cup of white vinegar. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then clean with a sponge or toilet brush. A simple swap that saves money and supports hormone balance.

‍

3. Goodbye to Scented Candles:

‍Ditch poor-quality scented candles that release harmful chemicals. Instead, embrace organic essential oils. These therapeutic options are cost-effective – a small bottle lasts ages, and a diffuser is a one-time investment. Now you have months of room-scenting for less than the price of one scented candle.

‍

4. Epsom Salts over Infrared:

‍Detoxification and hormone balance don't have to come with a hefty price tag. Forgo expensive sauna sessions and opt for Epsom salts in your bath. A 10kg bag is about £25, covering 15-20 baths – a fraction of the cost of a single sauna session.

‍

5. Simplify Your Snacks:

‍Grazing on single-serve packet snacks is not only hard on your bank balance but also on blood sugar regulation. Opt for budget-friendly, nutritionally optimal options like a bulk bag of mixed nuts. Carry them for a satisfying snack between meals or turn to whole food options like yogurt, boiled eggs, or a piece of toast.

‍

6. Skip the Powders for Proper Herbs:

‍Hormone superfood blends and green powders can be expensive. Save money by purchasing whole herbs like chamomile, nettle, dandelion, and marshmallow root in larger quantities. Steep them in hot water for therapeutic teas that offer greater benefits at a fraction of the price.

‍

Achieving hormone health on a budget is not only possible but also empowering. By incorporating these wallet-friendly habits into your routine, you'll discover that investing in your well-being doesn't have to strain your finances. Let's embrace a holistic approach to hormone health that nurtures both our bodies and our bank accounts.
