Endocrine system

The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce hormones. It includes the thyroid, the pancreas, the adrenal glands, the sex glands and the pituitary gland. Hormones control metabolism, growth, sleep, mood, reproduction and the response to stress.

What affects hormonal balance

• Sleep. Lack of sleep can upset the daily rhythms of hormones.
• Nutrition. A steady blood sugar level helps avoid sharp swings in energy.
• Stress. Long-term tension puts a strain on the adrenal glands.
• Movement. Regular activity helps the tissues stay sensitive to insulin.
• Light. Enough daylight helps set your internal clock.

How to support the system

Keep regular times for sleep and meals, limit sugar and white flour products, move every day, spend time in the fresh air and make time for rest. It is important to have check-ups on time, especially if you have unexplained tiredness, changes in weight, an irregular cycle or constant thirst.

The role of procedures

The centre does not provide medical treatment for endocrine diseases and does not correct hormone levels. Water procedures and wraps help reduce tension and improve overall wellbeing, which indirectly supports the body. With thyroid disease, diabetes and other conditions, procedures are used only with your doctor's approval.

Nothing described here replaces the treatment prescribed by an endocrinologist.

Practical pointers

Start the day with breakfast, avoid long gaps between meals, limit caffeine in the evening and go to bed at the same time each night. Habits like these help the body work more evenly.

Before any procedures, we recommend talking to a specialist at the centre, as contraindications are checked during the consultation.
