Hormones play a vital role in maintaining the body’s natural state of balance

This vital role is known as homeostasis. Our hormonal wellbeing is our 5th pillar of health. We are meant to be in balance.

Many factors can disrupt this balance and lead to hormonal imbalances, such as:

  • Nutritional deficiencies

  • Chronic or excessive stress

  • Thyroid disorders

  • Stopping or prolonged use of contraception

  • Irregular blood sugar levels

  • Lack of or too much physical/work activity

  • Exposure to environmental or dietary toxins

    Hormones influence a wide range of physiological processes, and when imbalances occur, they can significantly affect both physical and emotional wellbeing. Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance include:

  • Headaches, back pain and general aches and pains

  • Bloating and digestive discomfort

  • Breast tenderness

  • Constipation or diarrhoea

  • Fatigue, lethargy and exhaustion

  • Mood swings, irritability, anxiety or feelings of depression

  • Feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope

A Holistic & Individualised Approach

Hormonal imbalances can arise from a range of underlying causes, and no two individuals will experience them in the same way. That’s why personalised treatment is essential. Many natural therapies have shown positive effects in easing symptoms and helping to restore hormonal equilibrium.

At Diamond Creek Natural Medicine Centre, our experienced practitioners work closely with each patient to develop individualised treatment plans. Our team collaborates across disciplines to ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective care for your specific needs.

Chinese Medicine & Hormonal Balance

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), symptoms are viewed as signs that the body is not functioning at its optimal potential. Whether due to genetic predisposition, emotional stress, dietary habits, or lifestyle factors, TCM aims to restore balance by promoting the healthy flow of Qi and Blood.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine, central components of TCM, have traditionally been used to support hormonal and reproductive health. Acupuncture may help reduce symptoms associated with conditions such as:

-Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

-Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

-Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)

-Endometriosis

Our qualified TCM practitioners work one-on-one with patients, offering regular sessions (weekly or fortnightly) to support hormonal regulation and address any underlying issues affecting your health or fertility.

Naturopathic Support for Hormonal Health

Hormonal imbalances may also stem from ongoing or past health conditions. Our Naturopaths take a comprehensive approach, considering your complete health history to better understand the root causes of your symptoms. Using tools such as hormone testing, nutritional assessments, dietary analysis, and blood work, they create tailored treatment plans to support your body’s natural healing process.
