Hormonal Imbalance

We often hear people say that they feel their hormones re out of balance. "Hormonal imbalance" is an extremely general term that can refer to anything from diabetes to PMS, from insomia through to impotence. Hormones are small protein messengers that make things happen in the body, and are intricately involved in all manner of metabolic processes. More and more we are seeing the effects of imbalanced hormones on people's health; whether this is infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, or any other of the huge variety of health concerns caused by hormonal imbalance. Sometimes we will need to do blood or saliva tests to determine hormone levels, other times there are other diagnostic techniques that are appropriate. It is always necessary to have a full consultation with a naturopath, as hormones exist in exquisite balance and it is necessary to treat them with proper supervision. In a world increasingly awash with artificial chemicals, there are many substances which act as "endocrine disrupters", disrupting hormonal balance. Our diets, stress levels, and heritary factors also effect our hormonal health. Natural remedies are ideal to support the body to return to balance, but must be administered under the care of a qualified practitioner.
