Women’s Hormone HealthPuberty to Menopause and everything in between!

Hormones in the Human Body

• Pineal Gland: Regulates Sleep

• Hypothalamus: Keeps the human body stable in “homeostasis”

• Pituitary: secretes hormones that act on the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, ovaries and testes, which in turn produce other hormones

• Thyroid: makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)function normally.

• Parathyroids: Control calcium levels

• Thymus: Works synergistically with your immune system (processes lymphatic fluid/Immune Cells called Lymphocytes)

• Adrenals: Produce cortisol (helps regulate metabolism and helps your body respond to stress) and aldosterone (which helps control blood pressure)

• Panaceas: Produces insulin which helps regulate blood sugar

• Ovaries: have 2progesterone, which help to control your periods

HyperthyroidismHyper (High) thyroid - Hyperthyroidism means the thyroid gland is overactive. The thyroid gland controls important metabolic processes, such as growth and energy expenditure.

An immune system abnormality called Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.

Other causes include local inflammation (thyroiditis), nodules or lumps.

Hypothyroidism

Hypo (Low) thyroidism means the thyroid gland is under active and fails to make enough hormones.

The most common cause of primary hypothyroidism is the autoimmune condition Hashimoto's disease.

The treatment is lifelong hormone replacement with thyroxine tablets.

Thyromin!

• Thyromin™ is a special blend of bovine glandular extracts, herbs, amino acids, minerals, and therapeutic-grade essential oils in a perfectly balanced formula that maximises nutritional support for healthy thyroid function

Thryomin Ingredients• Iodine is an element needed for the production of thyroid hormones. Because the body does not

produce iodine on its own, it can only be obtained through diet or supplements. Iodine is a key component of Thyromin, giving you 1,158 mcg per serving.

• Vitamin E supports enzymes in the body that convert inactive thyroid hormones into active thyroid hormones. Likewise, Thyromin contains 30 IUs, 100 percent of the daily value.

• Under-performing thyroids can also cause potassium deficiency, which can lead to imbalances in many other important minerals in the body. Thyromin contains 66 mg of potassium.

• The essential oils in Thyromin—peppermint, spearmint, myrtle, and myrrh—may have a synergistic, protective effect on your hormonal and immune systems.

• Peppermint essential oil is one of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs and is known for aiding digestive efficiency and supporting the liver and respiratory system.

• Spearmint essential oil is a rich antioxidant that helps support the nervous system and overall balance in the body.

• Myrtle essential oil is supportive of the respiratory system, skin, and hair, and it has been researched for its effects on glandular imbalances.

• Myrrh essential oil contains some of the highest levels of sesquiterpenessystem - the “emotional centre” of the brain - these compounds are uplifting emotionally

• This layer of tissue is shed each month with menstruation (period) or where a pregnancy settles and grows.

• Most cases are caused by low progesterone/sluggish pituitary.

syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition in which a woman's levels of the sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone are out of balance.

• Take one drop of Nutmeg YL essential oil in the cheek every 10 minutes for an hour, then one drop every waking hour of the day.

• If you rub the inner cheek lining of the mouth, it does not leave such a bitter or tangy taste as it would on the tongue and it absorbs more readily.

• 2 drops over adrenals and/or under tongue 2 times daily.

• Nutmeg is best used at the high time for adrenals 9 pm – 11 pm.

Menopause• Itchy is heckling you because your entire body is losing

moisture, not only in your skin, but also in your eyes etc

• Bitchy makes your mood shift all over the spectrum, often causing you to overreact to minor irritants and seem a little crazy.

• Sweaty brings hot flashes and night sweats. You might wake up in the morning feeling like you’ve just left the gym after a high-intensity cardio workout.

• Sleepy makes his presence known when you’re unable to sleep through the night, sometimes because you’re feeling overheated.

• Bloated latches himself onto your metabolism and slows it right down! Beating the bulge is harder than ever!

• Forgetful comes in the form of a foggy brain. If I remember correctly, studies show that this will pass once you get past menopause.

• Pyschoreason, simply because your hormones are out of whack and your emotions are all over the place.
