Hormonal Disturbances

Hormones consist of chemicals that send information to all areas of the body and regulate processes such as growth, metabolism and fertility. Hormones also make the body capable of dealing with stress. If the hormonal balance is disturbed, it may cause conditions such as infertility, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome. The usage of synthetic hormones, lifestyle and dietary interventions, herbal medicine, Homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and acupuncture may be applied as treatment.
