Skin care — hormones

Oxytocin is often labelled the love hormone for both men and women. Oxytocin influences many physical and physiological actions within the body and  is elevated when we are in situations of stress, social bonding and intimacy or affection. The hormone helps to create a feeling of calm, closeness/intimacy, trust, social understanding, increase generosity, protectionist behaviours and intensifies sexual bonding and intimacy between partners. It is also used as an anitidote for drug withdrawl or cravings and is involved in the satifaction of hunger. 

Before putting hormones into our bodies , it is important to ensure our body’s detoxification system is functioning optimally. Detoxification of the liver can prepare our body to utilise the hormones we put into our body’s  to restore balance. Think of it like a spring clean ahead of buying new furniture for your home!

These are plant based and converted into the various hormones… progesterone, oestrogen, testosterone, pregnenolone, melatonin, thyroid hormone, DHEA to name a few!   WHAT DOES BIOIDENTICAL MEAN? Bio -identical meaning just that … they are identified by our body’s as like our own so therefore fit into the body like a lock and key…
