ABOUT

You don't get permanently well unless you permanently change the way you live." ~ Joe Cross

We're focussing this book on the benefits of essential oils on women ' s hormones as it has been a topic that has come up for us personally and with many doTERRA lovers. doTERRA can be used in many recipes to help with menopausal symptoms and to generally just balance hormones, so we brought you this mini book to give you a taster of what these oils can do to help balance everything out again. Hormonal imbalances can make you feel totally out of sync with everything, both in your mind and in your body, to the extent that you can feel as though you can’t even function effectively or think straight. Menopause, in particular, is a big change in a woman ' s life that can lead to significant hormonal imbalances. These oils can help to balance the hormonal levels, improve mood, and alleviate some of the unpleasant symptoms experienced during menopause. These recipes have been carefully created with your overall health in mind and will really support you hormonally and help you find some balance with your hormones, both physically and emotionally.

EAT UP

THYME BAKED SALMON FILLETS WITH HONEY & GARLIC

2 Salmon Fillets

1 Clove of Garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Tablespoon Honey

1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar

Toothpick Swirl Thyme (add as many as required to meet your personal taste)

Sea Salt

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Heat the oven to 180°C and line a large baking tray with foil, leaving enough on all sides to fold over the salmon fillets whilst cooking.

In a small bowl mix together your honey, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar and Thyme. Taste, and season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Place your salmon fillets on the sheet of foil and fold up all 4 sides to make a bowl shape. Pour your honey mixture all over your salmon and fold up the sides more, joining in the centre to make a closed parcel.

Place into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and the salmon fillet flakes easily. Serve immediately.

EXPERIENCE

This delicious and simple to make recipe is not only nutritious and tasty, but it's fabulous to help maintain balanced hormones. Salmon is an excellent choice to support women ' s hormones due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, protein, and selenium. These nutrients play a critical role in regulating hormone levels, reducing inflammation, improving mood, and supporting healthy thyroid function.

Incorporating salmon into your diet at least twice a week can help to promote overall health and wellbeing for women. Thyme is one of the best essential oils for balancing women ’ s hormones. It has progesterone balancing effects and helps by improving overall progesterone production. It also helps to delay menopause and also serves as a natural remedy for menopausal symptoms. This is a perfect combination to help support women ’ s hormones and you'll find that all the family will enjoy it too!

EXPERIENCE

This refreshing cool tea is perfect for cooling the body to help you avoid hot flushes, or to recover after one, but it also has natural ingredients to help support your body while dealing with unbalanced hormones or while going through the menopause. We used honey as a natural sweetener as a high intake of sugar can disrupt your overall hormone balance and trigger yet more hot flushes, more brain fog and more stress. Also sugar can actually deplete vital nutrients from your body, many of which are especially important during menopause or times of hormonal imbalance. Basically sugar and menopause don't mix so start using more natural sweeteners to satisfy any sweet cravings. This iced tea is perfect post hot flush to cool and relax you while the Bergamot gives you a little boost and lifts your spirits. Going through the menopause can really affect your confidence on so many levels and Bergamot can help balance that out and lift you up while helping you to feel at your best!

BLEND UP

FEMININE BALANCE
