Balancing the Hormones

There are thousands of hormones in the body. Some of the most commonly known hormones are estrogen, testosterone and insulin, but there are many more that you do not necessarily think about on a regular basis that effect your body in various ways. Hormones are essentially chemicals in the body that deliver messages between certain cells in the body. However, there are times when toxins may interfere with our hormones and sets them off their course and knocks them off balance.

When hormone imbalances occur, the body does not operate as it should. Our metabolic rate is altered and this often causes us to gain weight. People may also develop other symptoms, such as:
Dry, brittle hair
Dry skin
Brittle nails
Depression
Feeling bad and experiencing side effects after taking medications
Anxiety
Food cravings, especially after quitting smoking
Fatigue
Digestive problems
Liver congestion
Constipation

Many doctors will attempt to resolve these issues by simply prescribing a thyroid hormone. However, this can cause many problems itself, such as menstrual cycle issues. This causes a new set of issues for the person. Additionally, if a person's thyroxin levels increase too much, they may begin to lose too much weight.

There are several home remedies that can assist you with re-balancing your hormones. However, do keep in mind that if you have a thyroid issue, you should see a doctor. Make a consultation appt. with a Naturopath. many remedies exist including Women's Bio-X, Liver Detox, Colon Cleanse, and Omega Science, Digest -EZ or other products and programs. Other home remedies include:

Add protein to your shakes and lower your complex carbs and sugar intake. This will help to reduce Candida and yeast imbalances in the body. Remember, yeast feeds off sugar and complex carbohydrates are converted to sugar in digestion.
Gluco-fast can help you deal with excessive sugar cravings; this is also good if you are insulin resistant.
Use kelp or dulse in cleansing soups to supply your body with extra iodine and minerals. This helps to reduce fatigue.
For constipation, you will want to include a herbal detox tea or a natural cleansing tea to your daily routine.

There are some instances in which you need to consult a doctor. For instance, if you have extreme body temperature changes or cold extremities, you may need to have a hormone panel done. If you have excessive constipation, you may require a colon cleansing. Many of my clients do not realize that they have nutritional deficiencies that leads to long term problems and hormonal imbalances. I am also available for telephone consultation. Consult with your physician before embarking on any weight loss diet program.

Acupuncture With Cupping is Effective Therapy

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of very fine needles into the body at defined acupuncture points. The needles are inserted over meridians that are energy channels, which circulate energy throughout the body. Acupuncture therapy clears the channels of any obstructions and relieves pressure that causes pain and illness. Common ailments are treated quickly and effectively with acupuncture and the therapy can reduce tension, ease backache, sciatica, arthritis, migraine and cramps, as well as rid the body of many diseases.

Fire cupping therapy, is a part of Chinese medicine that is used in conjunction with acupuncture, and involves applying pressure to an acupuncture point by creating a vacuum. Small glass jars or bamboo cups, about the size of a baby food container, are internally heated by fire and immediately applied to the acu-point. The rapidly cooling air within the jar creates a vacuum, and draws on the skin beneath, thus applying pressure to the acu-point. The suction pressure relieves stagnation in the affected channel and restores the flow of energy or qi, allowing the body to heal. Cupping therapy is a common traditional Chinese medicine treatment for respiratory tract infections such as, bronchitis and pneumonia. Muscular problems in the neck, shoulders and back can also be treated with cupping therapy.

Benefits attributed to the application of cupping include, stimulation of the blood vessels in an affected area, easing blood clots, clearing up bruised tissue and stimulating the body's circulation system. Cupping therapy is generally applied for about 15 minutes and leaves unsightly marks on the body for a few days. There is also a very slight risk of receiving minor burns, depending on the method of heating that is used. To allay patients fears, some cupping practitioners are now using suction pumps instead of heated vessels.
