Supporting the The Endocrine System with Essential Oils

The endocrine system is a series of glands that produce and secrete hormones used in a wide range of functions throughout the body. Once the gland produces the hormone in is sent into the circulatory system where they are delivered to the various tissues in the body. The hormones send signals to those tissues to tell them what they are supposed to do. Some of the factors that affect endocrine organs include aging, certain diseases and conditions, stress, the environment, and genetics. When the glands do not produce the right amounts of hormones, diseases develop that can affect many aspects of life.

Essential Oils support the endocrine system because of the unique delivery system that they both use. It is beneficial to discuss the use of essential oils as a natural support with your healthcare provider as well as modern medical options.*
