Emotional Health

Emotions have a direct impact on your health, and addressing emotional imbalances, external factors, and lifestyle choices can help prevent health conditions associated with hormonal imbalances.

Practitioners believe that negative emotions cause disease in your reproductive organs, kidneys and adrenals, affecting cortisol levels. This can lead to serious conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome and infertility.

The emotions of frustration, impatience and unforgiveness can cause disease in your liver, which can lead to an estrogen imbalance. Emotions of worry and anxiety can cause issues with your insulin levels, which can then affect several hormones.

A major component of balancing your hormones naturally is addressing any emotional imbalances that you are dealing with. You can do this by reducing stress levels, engaging in personal reflection and taking time for yourself.

Having a devotional life and prayer can be extremely beneficial, and so can deep breathing exercises, spending time outdoors and exercising every day.
