What are Hormones?



The hormone is your body's natural chemical messengers.

They go to all the organs or tissues in the body to aid them in doing their job. They function slowly, over a period of time, and affect many different functions. Hormones can influence the body in a number of ways such as the fight or flight response, regulation of temperature, digestion, secretion of milk, or other processes. It has been shown that hormonal fluctuations can cause many health problems.

Hormones can be altered by many different factors such as stress, lack of sleep, diet, environmental chemicals, medication, illness, or other conditions. This causes the body to produce more or less of the hormones necessary. There can also be imbalances between hormones, which results in a negative reaction or positive reaction.

Hormone imbalance may result in the development of several disorders. The most common is obesity and diabetes. Hormonal imbalances have also been linked to certain cancers such as breast and uterine cancer.



There are ways to stabilize hormone levels. Most medications or supplements can provide a boost for the body. Some of the more natural remedies that can help the body regulate hormone levels are herbal supplements. These have been proven to be very effective and safe for the body.



##### ***If you have been diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance, it is important to see a doctor or other health professional. The imbalance may be caused by a medical condition and the doctor will treat the condition to bring the balance back into the body. Hormone supplements may be prescribed. You should always talk with your physician before beginning any new medication or supplement to see if it will be effective for your condition.***

The best way to increase hormones is through the use of herbs and nutrients that have been shown to stimulate the body's production of hormones. These supplements can not only help your body balance hormones, they can also help the body's immunity and healing process. These supplements can work in conjunction with herbal preparations, which are very easy to use.

A hormone supplement can also be a great alternative to hormone therapy, which can be very expensive. Hormone supplements are usually taken once per day for the rest of your life. This is very convenient and can help keep your hormones at a stable level.



The most commonly used hormone supplements include progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, DHT blockers, and herbal preparations. Most health food stores carry these types of supplements. It is important to talk with your doctor or health care provider to decide what the best type of hormone supplement would work best for your needs.
