How Aloe Vera Arborescens May Help with Hormonal Imbalances
Although Aloe Vera Arborescens is not a direct hormonal plant (like maca or chasteberry), it indirectly supports hormonal balance through multiple regulatory mechanisms in the body—especially in the endocrine, digestive, and immune systems.
The liver plays a key role in metabolizing hormones such as estrogen, cortisol, and insulin.
Aloe Arborescens:
Supports liver function (detoxification of estrogens and hormone-related toxins)
Improves gut flora, which is linked to hormonal recirculation (estrobolome)
Helps regulate cortisol (the stress hormone)
Although not a classic adaptogen, aloe gently supports the HPA axis (hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal), which governs:
Cortisol
Adrenaline
Balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
This may help with PMS, adrenal fatigue, menopause, and hormone-related anxiety.
Many hormonal disorders (PCOS, endometriosis, menopause, hypothyroidism) are linked to systemic inflammation.
Aloe Arborescens provides:
Gentle, continuous anti-inflammatory effects
Antioxidant protection for glands such as the ovaries, thyroid, and pituitary
Insulin resistance is a common factor in several hormonal imbalances:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Hormonal acne
Ovarian cysts
Aloe may improve insulin sensitivity, indirectly supporting hormonal equilibrium.
