How Hormone Problems Relate to the Liver
The liver plays a vital role in hormone regulation. It’s not just about detoxing chemicals or processing food—it also helps keep your hormones balanced by:
Metabolising and breaking down hormones, especially estrogen. If the liver is sluggish or overburdened, hormones can build up or become imbalanced.
Converting thyroid hormones into their active forms—essential for energy, metabolism, and mood.
Filtering out excess stress hormones like cortisol to keep your nervous system regulated.
When the liver isn’t functioning optimally, it can contribute to:
* PMS or menstrual irregularities
* Fatigue or brain fog
* Weight gain or bloating
* Mood swings or anxiety
* Hot flushes or perimenopausal symptoms
How Reflexology Can Help:
Reflexology works by stimulating specific reflex points on the feet (or hands) that correspond to different organs and systems in the body—including the liver and the endocrine (hormone) system. Here's how it supports hormonal balance:
Liver Reflex Stimulation: Helps encourage healthy liver function, improving detoxification and hormone processing.
Endocrine System Support: Reflex points for the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries/testes are targeted to support hormonal communication and balance.
Stress Reduction: Reflexology activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest-and-digest mode), helping to lower cortisol and bring the body back into equilibrium.
Improved Circulation and Lymph Flow: This supports the natural elimination of waste and excess hormones from the body.
In Summary:
When the liver is under stress, hormone imbalances often follow. Reflexology helps by supporting liver function, stimulating the endocrine system, and encouraging the body’s natural ability to restore balance. It’s a gentle, holistic way to promote harmony from the inside out.
