DIY-ing for Healthy Hormones and Better Periods
If you’ve already read about living in sync with your cycles and detoxing for healthy hormones and better periods, you’re here to start taking ownership of what you put IN & ON your body.
Congrats!
This is A HUGE STEP.
And it’s important that you give yourself a little what-what for putting in the effort to live more in sync with your natural and healthy female cycles.
DIY-ing can be a fun, frugal, and uber-clean way to minimize the hormone-mimicking compounds that cause and/or worsen PMS, acne, endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, and hormonal disruptions…just to name a few.
Here’s are a few reasons you might be well-suited to get into DIY-ing more:
- You’re dealing with major life-disrupting health problems and require complete control over the substances that come in contact with your body. (If this is you, you probably already know that this is for you!)
- You find it fun, relaxing, and stimulating to get your hands dirty in the kitchen.
- You’re working with a tight budget that makes it difficult to buy high-quality products without a bunch of junk.
Not everyone is up for DIY-ing, though…and that’s ok! If you’ve stumbled onto this page and are thinking, “This ain’t for me!”, make sure you grab this free guide (insert BeautyCounter/alternatives guide) or our Toxic Home Makeover Guide to find the products we recommend.
