Or how to take care of those mysterious glands that control my body. 😄
What is a hormone?
A hormone is a chemical message to the cells.
The endocrine system is therefore a communication system of the body.
Hormones, carried by the blood, help regulate body functions such as :
- Metabolism.
- Reproduction.
- Temperature of the body.
- Growth.
- Sleep.
- Breathing.
- Blood pressure.
Where do hormones come from?
Hormones are mainly secreted by the endocrine glands, mainly :
- Thymus.
- Adrenal glands.
- Thyroid.
- Hypothalamus.
- Pituitary gland.
- Pineal gland.
Let’s focus on these.
Note that :
- Ovaries and testicles will be covered in the genital detox.
- Other organs can secrete hormones, such as the heart, adipose tissue and the pancreas.

Natural cures
In addition to medical treatment, there are some options for hormonal cleansing.
To find out which of the following are suitable for me, I can use the felt sense.
Emotions
There can be no detox with lasting results without exploring the emotional side.
It is mainly my emotional wounds that prevent my glands from functioning properly.
I can begin an introspection through emotional acceptance, or I can get help from a therapist.
Additionally, there is a massage point that can help release some of the emotional memories during detox. It is located just above the sternum, between the collarbones:

Relaxation
My glands love it when I relax.
This allows them to function at their maximum, for example during sleep.
Activities that promote relaxation are to be favored during the detox period.
Sea bath
In the sea or ocean, my body is recharged with essential trace elements and minerals.
In addition, an energetic and physical purification takes place.
The endocrine system is strengthened by sea bathing.
Blood detox
Blood transports hormones to reach their targets in different tissues and organs.
Blood clogged with toxins interferes with hormone distribution.
It is preferable to precede the endocrine glands detox with a blood detox.
Amethyst
Amethyst is a purple stone that has an impact on the hormonal system.
It helps to strengthen the endocrine glands, especially the thymus.
Moreover, it energizes hormonal secretions
Conclusion

Hormones regulate many biological processes. A hormonal cleanse is of vital benefit for the metabolism.
