Respect Your Hormones: What Your Body is Trying to Tell You

There’s a moment in many women’s lives, where we pause, take a breath, and ask ourselves: What on earth is going on with my body?

Your skin is breaking out again, your cycle’s gone haywire and your moods swings are like a pendulum. We can feel like strangers in our own bodies and it’s even more frustrating when we’re doing all the right things. Often, the root of all this? Hormones.

But here’s the thing no one tells you enough: your hormones aren’t the enemy. They’re messengers. And when they’re out of balance, your body is simply waving a red flag, asking for help. It’s not shouting to punish you, it’s whispering please listen.



This is where my client Nancy’s story begins. 

From acne to awareness: The hormone clues we miss

When Nancy first came to see me, she was dealing with multiple issues, but what frustrated her most was chronic acne. She’d struggled for years, trying creams, diets medications and endless products. Nothing made a lasting difference. What stood out, though, was how her skin would flare in sync with her cycle - a classic sign of hormonal imbalance.

I prescribed a remedy based on her unique needs, looking at her constitution, her menstrual cycle history, her emotions, her medical history and more. Not just the acne!. Slowly and gently, the skin began to clear. And even more importantly, Nancy began to feel balanced from the inside out.

She explains: ”The acne cleared little by little and I started to have healthy skin for the first time ever!” 

The ripple effects of hormonal healing

Nancy’s healing journey didn’t stop there. Over the years, she came back for other issues, each time, her body speaking a new language:

• A lingering cough that always followed colds and hung on for weeks. With the right remedy? Gone in hours.
   
  “Over the years every time I had a cold it developed into a tickly cough that would last for 3 weeks. As soon as I took the homeopathic remedies Eileen prescribed the nasty cough would be gone within hours. The first time I experienced that, I was truly amazed by Homeopathy.”
  
  
• Slow healing after a previous surgery - but this time with Homeopathy, her next recovery was faster and the wound healed beautifully.
  
  “After having surgery I took some homeopathic remedies that Eileen prescribed and I noticed that the tissues around the wound healed quickly and that my recovery was much faster compared to a previous operation.”
   
• And perhaps most beautifully - during her pregnancy. A time of transformation, vulnerability and change. With gentle homeopathic support, she felt balanced and relieved from common pregnancy issues that occurred during this time.
  
  

Trusting your body's wisdom

Every time something felt off, her instinct became: Check in with Homeopathy first. Not out of desperation, but out of trust. Because she had learned to listen- and more importantly, to respect what her body was telling her.

“I would like to say a big thank you to Eileen for sharing her wisdom.  She is such a caring and approachable person which I really appreciate.

Since I started my journey with this powerful yet gentle natural medicine, every time a member of my family, friends or myself are out of balance, I think straight away of healing with Homeopathy!”

Listening to what your body needs

So often, we brush aside symptoms like mood swings, irregular cycles, exhaustion, or adult acne. We say, “It’s probably just stress,” or “I’m just tired,” or worse - “It’s just part of being a woman.”

But these are not just side effects of womanhood - they are invitations to check in. Hormones are powerful, yes - but they’re also delicate. They respond to our environment, our emotions, our food, our relationships, even our sleep.

And when they fall out of balance, Homeopathy offers a way to gently restore that harmony - not by forcing the body, but by nudging it back into alignment.

Not every woman needs the same remedy. Not every symptom tells the same story. And that’s why my approach in my Balance Your Hormones Programme is so beautifully personal.
