10 Natural Hormone Boosting Creams You Can Make At Home

6. Maca Root Cream

Research shows that maca root, or Lepidiummeyenii, may influence the production of progesterone to support hormonal balance without containing hormones itself. Progesterone levels become deficient when too much estrogen circulates the body. Maca root cream may be able to stabilize progesterone levels by reducing estrogen levels to restore the balance. To make a topical ointment, add a few drops of maca root extract to neem, jojoba, or almond oil and apply to the skin.

5. Licorice Cream

Licorice has been shown to boost progesterone levels in the body, which helps correct infertility and promotes regular ovulation and menstruation. It has also been shown to detoxify the liver to further assist in the balance of hormones. Women are advised to use licorice within the first two weeks of their menstrual cycle before ovulation begins. To make, heat one-quarter cup coconut oil, one-eighth cup shea butter, and one-eighth cocoa butter in a double boiler. Remove from heat once melted and add one teaspoon aloe vera juice, one tablespoon jojoba oil, and five to ten drops of licorice cream essential oil.
