Do you wonder if your hormones are out of balance?
Or maybe you are already aware of issues such as menopause, diabetes or thyroid problems that you are already treating but would like more support with?
Our hormone assessment questionnaire can help pinpoint imbalances in your body chemistry. Read on for information about accessing your assessment today.
Hormones are chemicals that are produced by glands in the endocrine system.
Your hormones, which your endocrine system makes, are the body's messengers. These messengers must be created in the correct quantity then sent to the appropriate body site. Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Because of their essential role in the body, even small hormonal imbalances can cause side effects throughout the body.
The main causes of hormonal imbalances that I see on a daily basis are issues with the thyroid, stress, menopause symptoms, blood sugar imbalances and period problems. Some common hormonal symptoms I treat include irregular periods, low sex-drive, unexplained weight gain, mood swings, sleep disruption.
Some of the most common underlying causes of hormonal imbalance include:
- Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
- Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
- Chronic stress
- Diabetes
- Peri/Menopause
Reflexology is a safe, gentle yet powerful treatment which can help calm or stimulate specific glands to bring your hormonal system back into balance and relieve symptoms. In order to personalise and treat very specifically for your body chemistry we use a detailed questionnaire which identify the hormone(s) that are out of balance for you and create a treatment targeted to your exact situation.
Some of the hormones that we can discover imbalances in through the questionnaire include:
- Cortisol (stress hormones)
- Oestrogens
- Growth hormone
- Insulin
- Melatonin
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Thyroid hormones
Whether you already know that you have a hormonal imbalance, or just want to make sure that you are doing the best possible for your overall health, hormone balancing reflexology protocols are a great addition to your overall wellness needs.
Where hormone balancing is my main aim in a reflexology treatment, my preference is to work on both face and feet in a single session although I can create face-only or foot-only protocols if you have a particular preference.
It is also possible to create an online guided self-treatment plan with you if you can’t attend in-person at our Wexford clinic.
If you feel like you could benefit from a hormone-balancing reflexology plan simply get in touch with us via email on info@skinessentialsbymariga.com or phone 0863823608 and I will send you the questionnaire to complete.
I look forward to working with you on your wellness journey.
