Hormonal imbalance: what your body is trying to tell you
Ayurdoré Guide · 3 min read
Your body is a marvel of intelligence. When something is wrong, it's not trying to punish you; it's communicating.
Hormonal imbalance is simply your body's SOS, asking you to pause, look at what's happening, and make adjustments. Once I understood this, I thoroughly scrutinized everything that entered my home, what I put on my skin, and what I consumed daily. And what I discovered literally shocked me.
01 · My Environment's Big Clean-Up
What was hiding in my bathroom and kitchen
I checked the composition of every product: my face creams, shower gels, shampoos, makeup, lipstick, kitchen utensils, cooking oils, and even the material of my clothes. Almost all conventional products hid the same ingredient on their label: Parfum / Fragrance.
Like many of you, I trusted apps like Yuka. So why did highly rated products contain fragrance? Here's the step-by-step logic:
1. The composition of a fragrance is a trade secret. European regulations allow brands to simply write "perfume" or "fragrance" on the label, without detailing the dozens of molecules hidden behind that word. They are not obligated to reveal them to you.
2. So Yuka cannot analyze them. The app rates what it sees on the label. If an ingredient is just called "perfume," it doesn't know what it contains, so it doesn't flag it. A product can be "excellent" on Yuka and hide substances you would never want to put on your skin.
3. "Long-lasting" = molecules that cling to you. Your perfume that lasts all day, your shower gel whose scent you can still smell in the evening, your shampoo that leaves your hair fragrant for days... it's not magic. For a scent to last, chemical fixatives are added, designed specifically to stick to your skin and hair and stay there for hours.
4. And these fixatives are often endocrine disruptors. The most well-known are phthalates (like DEP, still authorized in Europe in perfumes), synthetic musks (galaxolide, tonalide), and certain preservatives like BHT. These molecules pass through the skin and mimic or disrupt your own hormones. The result: a disrupted hormonal balance, disturbed cycles, and in the long term, a risk to fertility and health.
My simple rule ever since: if it lasts a long time, I assume it contains endocrine disruptors. And that also applies to makeup: long-lasting foundations, waterproof mascara, "kiss-proof" lipsticks that stay put all day. They last because they are loaded with these same molecules. I removed them all from my bathroom, and I no longer use them.
I'm not saying this to scare you. I'm saying it because no one explained it to me, and I wish I had known years earlier.
What I changed daily
🧴 A clean beauty routine. I eliminated everything containing synthetic fragrance to favor products scented only with essential oils or natural aromas (like the Hairlust brand).
🌿 Organic clothing. I opted for organic cotton lingerie to allow my skin to breathe without absorbing toxins.
🍳 A toxin-free kitchen. I threw out all my non-stick Teflon pans. Teflon releases harmful compounds into food that act as endocrine disruptors.
🥗 A raw food diet. I cleaned out my cupboards to eliminate artificial preservatives, ultra-processed products, and poor-quality oils.
After eliminating all these toxins, my periods finally became regular. But I was still missing a piece of the puzzle: I still suffered from very intense period pain.
02 · The Breakthrough Thanks to Plants
And the Importance of Quality
To soothe these persistent pains, I turned to two powerful adaptogenic plants: moringa and ashwagandha. Initially, I bought organic moringa and ashwagandha powder from specialized stores or supermarkets. Even if I felt a slight improvement, the profound change I was looking for wasn't happening. The pains remained very present.
Everything changed when I launched my own Ayurveda brand. When I received my very first production and started consuming the plants I had just developed, the results were spectacular: my period pains completely disappeared. The difference lay in absolute purity and freshness:
Pure Moringa. A powder of fresh leaves harvested at the right time, without any stems, branches, or fillers.
Concentrated Ashwagandha. Freshly harvested root powder, dried at low temperature to preserve 100% of the minerals and active ingredients.
My exact morning and evening ritual
🌞 In the morning, moringa. One teaspoon in a large glass of water, a splash of lemon, a little honey, mix and drink. It tastes like lemonade, except it's very good for you.
🌙 In the evening, ashwagandha. One teaspoon in a glass of water, simply. If the taste bothers you, mix it in a plant-based milk with honey, cocoa, or vanilla. Be creative: make it your soothing evening drink.
The exact plants I use every day
Moringa in the morning, Ashwagandha in the evening. The Duo Box brings both together.

By incorporating these exceptionally pure plants, the benefits exceeded all my expectations. My digestion regulated, my skin became radiant, my hair stronger, and I regained incredible energy and confidence. Plants were the missing link to restoring my vitality.
03 · Soothing the Nervous System
Meditation
You can clean up your environment and take the best plants in the world, but if your nervous system is constantly under stress, your body won't be able to fully regenerate. Managing a business and daily life requires a lot of energy, which is why stress management has become an absolute priority for me. No need to spend hours on it. Simply start with 15 minutes of breathing per day:
01 Find a quiet place, away from screens.
02 Inhale deeply, pause briefly, then exhale slowly.
03 With each breath in, imagine a warm, golden light entering your body and soothing your nerves.
This habit allows your brain to exit "alert" mode, offers you space to welcome your thoughts, and resets your mindset.
