Hormones beautiful hormones

A hormone is a class of signaling molecules in multicellular organisms including humans, plants and animals. They are sent to distant organs or tissues by complex biological processes to regulate physiology and behavior.

A hormone feedback loop in an menstruating female include five specific hormones including follicular stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, progesterone, and estrogen.

Hormones are used to communicate between organs and tissues. They are responsible for regulating a wide range of processes including digestion, metabolism, respiration, sensory perception, sleep, excretion, lactation, stress induction, growth and development, movement, reproduction and mood manipulation.

When there is an imbalance in the regulation of hormones through a female menstrual cycle, women can experience natural hormonal fluctuations in greater or lesser degrees. This can cause a wide range of symptoms.

If the hormonal messaging system is too loud, we aim to turn down the internal broadcasting dial and if it’s too low we aim to turn the dial up. We use food therapy, lifestyle techniques and herbal medicine in Chinese medicine.

The goal is to have a beautiful symphony of hormonal influence in the body with a gentle ebb and flow, like a dance. When hormones are out of sync it can feel like internal chaos with a lot of energy expended managing symptoms.
