Ayurveda for Hormone Imbalance

Ayurvedic Treatment & Support for Hormonal Balance

Hormones play a vital role in regulating many essential functions of the body, including growth, metabolism, reproduction, mood, sleep, and energy levels. They act as chemical messengers, travelling through the bloodstream to organs such as the brain, heart, bones, muscles, and reproductive system, coordinating complex processes through feedback mechanisms.

At Ayur Healthcare, Sydney, we provide Ayurvedic treatment and ongoing support for hormone imbalance, using traditional Ayurvedic principles, herbal remedies, Panchakarma therapies, and personalised lifestyle guidance. Our approach focuses on restoring balance within the body while working alongside conventional medical care where required.

Understanding Hormonal Balance in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, hormonal balance is closely linked to the proper functioning of the endocrine system, digestion (Agni), tissue nourishment (Dhatu), and balance of the three Doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Hormonal disturbances are understood as a result of:

Lifestyle and dietary imbalances
Chronic stress and mental strain
Poor digestion and toxin accumulation (Ama)
Irregular daily routines
Age-related physiological changes

Rather than addressing hormones in isolation, Ayurveda works holistically to support the body’s internal regulatory systems.

Key Endocrine Glands and Ayurvedic Support

These glands act as central regulators of hormonal activity, influencing appetite, sleep cycles, stress response, reproductive rhythms, and metabolic processes.
