The founder of Nikki Hill Apothecary as well as a fully qualified Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist and Medical Herbalist. I specialise in working with women who are struggling with their hormones and looking for a natural solution to help ease their symptoms, and improve their overall health.

Hormonal imbalance is widespread today due to the increasingly stressful lives we lead. Women are working longer hours than ever, yet still taking on most of the household and familial duties—and putting pressure on ourselves all the while to be better, to achieve more. Our bodies can only take this for so long before they get overwhelmed and something’s got to give. And that something, unfortunately, is often our hormones.

Thankfully, there are a number of effective natural solutions that can help bring us back into balance. These include getting more high quality sleep, meditating, reducing intense cortisol-spiking exercise, and incorporating more nourishing foods, teas, and supplements into our diets. The recipes you’ll find in this book are both supportive of your hormonal health and a treat for your senses, proving that you don’t need to compromise one for the other. Pleasure and health can, and should, go hand in hand.
