Re: Hormones

I know you believe in using herbs and other things to give the body what it needs to restore or rev up our glands to do their job like they should ... but if the glands are not up to par, such as after menopause, aren't we basically beating a dead or dying horse? Or does it depend on the glands?

This hormonal 'orchestra' is a bit confusing. If we should leave well enough alone, does that apply to all the hormone producing glands in our body or just some of them? Should we try to rev up the adrenals and not worry about the ovaries or rev up the thyroid but not worry about ... whatever.

Are some glands [and use the word loosely here for lack of a more specific one...whatever is producing hormones!] supposed to slow as we age and if so, why shouldn't we let 'nature' take it's course and not fiddle with it?

I'm interested in the basic physical biological aspect of this, not the psychological or mental or emotion one...although I realize hormones affect all of this.

Thanks HV!!
