NATURAL TREATMENT FOR HORMONAL IMBALANCE IN NIGERIA

WHAT IS A HORMONAL IMBALANCE?

Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. Produced in the endocrine glands, these powerful chemicals travel around your bloodstream telling tissues and organs what to do. They help control many of your body’s major processes, including metabolism and reproduction.

When you have a hormonal imbalance, you have too much or too little of a certain hormone. Even tiny changes can have serious effects throughout your whole body.

SYMPTOMS OF A HORMONAL IMBALANCE

Your hormones play an integral role in your overall health. Because of that, there’s a broad range of symptoms that could signal a hormonal imbalance. Your symptoms will depend on which hormones or glands aren’t working properly.

Common hormonal conditions affecting both men and women could cause any of the following symptoms:

• weight gain
• fatigue
• increased sensitivity to cold or heat
• constipation or more frequent bowel movements
• dry skin
• puffy face
• unexplained weight loss (sometimes sudden)
