Balancing hormones - Why it's important
What if some of your health issues could be created from
imbalanced hormones?
Both women and men suffer hormonal issues, which also can
be an endocrine system problem as well.
As a homeopathic practitioner, I found some of my clients were
asking if there was a safer alternative to what exists for
hormone treatment. Healing is not as simple in recent times,
due to medication usage, environmental, dietary and emotional
stressors. Therefore, we need better tools and an
understanding that helps the whole person - body, mind and
spirit.
A homeopathic hormone rejuvenation system is designed to
balance hormones using non-toxic homeopathic remedies in
place of either natural or synthetic hormone replacement.
Recent evidence in medical literature shows side effects of
synthetic hormone replacement. Even “natural” hormone
replacement can also cause significant symptoms, including
abnormal and toxic hormone levels and liver congestion.
The first step is to remove the blocks to healing, detoxify the
body (especially the liver) and then balance with the use of
hormone remedies.
What are hormones?
Hormones are messengers that your body uses to regulate its
functions. The particular hormones we are concerned with are
the steroid hormones. These include estrogens, progesterone,
testosterone, pregnenolone, DHEA, cortisol and aldosterone.
All of these steroid hormones are initially derived from
cholesterol. The hormones are incredibly closely related
molecularly - this is important as many of these can be
converted into another hormone very easily. For example,
supplementing with DHEA can produce either testosterone OR
estrogen. Most important is to understand if you supplement
with any ONE of them, you can easily imbalance the entire
system.
Causes of Hormone Imbalance include:
Stress: Adrenal stress is one of the major causes
Diet (sugar, caffeine, alcohol, carbohydrates, poor nutrition)
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)
Medication (cortisone, anti-inflammatory drugs, glucose
regulating drugs such as insulin, synthetic and natural hormone
replacement including thyroid drugs,
antibiotics, high blood pressure meds, etc.)
Dental Issues: each tooth has an endocrine relationship
Environmental exposure to toxins
Imbalance in the nervous system
We are continuing to find out the effect of hormone replacement
therapy on the human body. Research shows that ALL
hormones that are taken or used internally or externally
(including natural ones) have a negative effect. Hormone
replacement therapy (HRT), whether natural or synthetic, is
based on incorrect assumption that your body becomes
incapable of producing the appropriate hormones simply
because we reach a certain age (this includes those who have
had a hysterectomy). Any hormone replacement, whether it is
natural or synthetic, actually causes the body to slow down the
production of its own natural hormones. Yes, your body does
alter its hormone production as you pass through the stages of
life, but hormone problems are a function of how healthy you
are, not how old you are.
Now I could continue on with all the details and statistics that
back up these claims, but I want to share a resolution to
this widespread problem. Homeopathic hormone remedies can
improve progesterone uptake and metabolism. They also do
not interfere with the normal shift from progesterone dominance
to estrogen dominance during the month. They also do not
have any side effects because they contain minute amounts of
substances.
It can be utilized effectively for hormone rejuvenation by
stimulating your own production of natural hormones in the
human body. The homeopathic substances can be applied
topically or taken orally, and stimulate a healing response in the
targeted organ, thus stimulating the normal functionality of that
organ. Some remedies actually contain a blueprint of a healthy
gland, hormone or organ. They give off an electromagnetic
(EM) signal that attaches itself to a similar signal or imprint.
Within seconds of administration, the hypothalamus translates a
picture of how the specific healthy organ or gland normally
functions directly to that organ in your body and re-educates it.
These remedies DO NOT REPLACE - it REJUVENATES and
REPAIRS - by healing the bodies ability to make hormones
properly on its own.
It is the whole glandular system that works together in a synced
communication to control temperature, sleep, ovulation, sperm,
immune cells, trash removal, metabolism, energy, fight or flight
and so much more! It may take a bit longer than traditional
hormone replacement therapy. There may be other diet and
lifestyle recommendations that can be beneficial as well.
Everybody is different and how your body works and how long it
takes, is up to your body.
Here’s what one person has to say:
“Laurie is a powerful practitioner of homeopathy. One issue Laurie helped me
address was hormonal for menopause and perimenopause. Overnight, I went from
dependency on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) drugs which I knew were not
good for me to homeopathic remedies that boost my own body rather than
shutting it down. When I tried to wean off those prescription drugs by cutting a
corner off my Estrogen patch, I ended up with a regular period with cramps – it
was awful. Homeopathy has been totally different – and a comfortable transition.
One day of a little light spotting, an occasional mild hot flash, and now after only a
few weeks, I’m weaning down on the homeopathic hormone boosters too. My own
body is starting to make the hormones I need to feel great at age 56. I’m so
excited about it I want everyone to know about this alternative. It works, it’s easy
and you don’t need to pay for those expensive HRT prescriptions for years and
years. Every woman who has these issues owes it to herself to try the
homeopathic approach.”
