So what is DHEA ?
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) — good luck saying that one! Luckily, it’s easier to understand than to say. This naturally occurring hormone is made by your adrenal glands and acts as a precursor to other important hormones like estrogen and testosterone. It supports everything from energy and mood to libido and skin health. DHEA levels peak in your twenties and gradually decline with age, which is why many people explore ways to support hormonal balance as they get older.
Unlike pharmaceutical hormones or supplements like DHEA, herbal remedies work subtly and supportively. Think of them as a daily nudge, not a dramatic push. Over time, they help restore your body’s natural ability to self-regulate and feel in balance.
At Westwood Botanicals, our blends are crafted to honour this principle — pairing nervines, adaptogens, and nourishing botanicals to help you feel grounded, balanced, and supported through every season of life.
