Hi KG
Would this be the one for thyroid and/or adrenals?
Christiane
Thanks for your question. Wish I had a simple “short” answer for you. Fire element does have a stimulating effect on production of hormones. However, for regulating and restoring health look to balancing your Wood Element. Thyroid function is a key player in hormone regulation. Repressed self expression can result in under functioning Thyroid function which effects healthy adrenal function. Hormone production and regulation is a rather complicated matter, especially when more than one hormone function is compromised and there is under or over production of a hormone. Generally I’d look to balancing your Wood Element. Hope this is helpful to you, Christiane.
