14/F, Prosperous Building, 48-52 Des Voeux Road Central, Central
Hormones are the body’s messages and they work together so upsetting the
balance of one will have a domino effect. When conditions are diagnosed and
treated by the modern medical community, they are normally treated in isolation
and often through the use of pharmaceuticals which may not address the
underlying cause. Treating them in isolation is like putting a band aid on a volcano.
Hormones play a role in many conditions and they are very easily balanced with
natural methods.
