Glands-Adrenals

Explanation: 

The adrenal glands secrete different hormones to help the body regulate metabolism, immune function, blood pressure and respond to stress. The two adrenal glands are located on top of each kidney.

Common symptoms of Imbalance:
*  Left Knee Discomfort
*  Low Back Discomfort
*  Low Immune Function
*  Fatigue
*  Sensitivity to Light
*  Joint Noise
*  Difficulty Coping with Stress
*  Brain Fog

Hormones Produced: Mineralocorticoids such as aldosterone,
                                        Glucocorticoids such as cortisol,
                                        Adrenal androgens such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA),
                                        Catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline (epinephrine, norepinephrine respectively)

The adrenal glands generate the following emotions:
                   Humiliation,              Pride
                   Jealousy,                      Shame
                   Longing,                      Shock
                   Lust,                              Unworthy
                   Overwhelm                 Worthlessness.

• Muscle connections: Calf muscles, sartorius muscles, and gracilis muscles. 

• Diurnal cycle: Not known

 

Glands-Thyroid

Explanation: 

The thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland that secretes hormones, collectively called “thyroid hormones”, that influence metabolism, blood calcium levels, growth, development, and body temperature.

It sits low on the front of the neck.
Common symptoms of Imbalance:  
o Hypothyroidism (Low Function)
▪ Weight Gain
▪ Sluggishness
▪ Fatigue
▪ Thin, Brittle Nails
▪ Cold Intolerance

*Hyperthyroidism (High Thyroid Function)
               ▪ Overproduction of Thyroid Hormone
               ▪ Grave’s disease 
               ▪ Nervousness
               ▪ Hair Loss
               ▪ Rapid Heart Rate
*Symptoms of either high or low function:
            ▪ Discomfort in the shoulder, wrist or elbow

Hormones Produced: Triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4)

The Throid glands generate the following emotions:
                   Humiliation,              Pride
                   Jealousy,                      Shame
                   Longing,                      Shock
                   Lust,                              Unworthy
                   Overwhelm                 Worthlessness.

• Muscle connections:Teres minor muscles

• Diurnal cycle: Not known
 

Glands Para-Thyroid

Explanation: 

The parathyroid glands are four small glands situated at the back of the thyroid gland that secrete parathyroid hormone and control the amount of calcium in blood and bones.
Parathyroid hormone increases calcium levels by releasing calcium from the bones and by stopping the loss of calcium by
the kidneys and urine.

Common symptoms of imbalance may include:
           Symptoms of Hypoparathyroidism (Low Function)
▪ Low blood calcium levels
▪ Muscle Spasms, especially in hands and feet
▪ Tetany
▪ Fatigue
▪ Headaches
▪ Insomnia
▪ Tingling around mouth or extremities

Symptoms of Hyperparathyroidism (High Function)
▪ Kidney stones
▪ Gallstones
▪ Fatigue
▪ Nausea
▪ Bone pain
▪ Osteoporosis
▪ Elevated blood calcium levels

Either high or low function:
▪ Discomfort in the neck or shoulder
▪ Difficulty sleeping
▪ Muscle spasms

Hormones Produced: Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

The Para-Thyroid glands generate the following emotions:

                   Humiliation,              Pride
                   Jealousy,                      Shame
                   Longing,                      Shock
                   Lust,                              Unworthy
                   Overwhelm                 Worthlessness.

• Muscle connections: Levator scapulae

• Diurnal cycle: Not known


 

Glands Pancreas

Explanation: 

The pancreas secretes insulin and other digestive hormones that help to regulate blood sugar as well as hormones that help to digest food. The pancreas is located behind the stomach.

Common symptoms of imbalance:
*  Discomfort in the mid back
*  Discomfort in the left shoulder
*  Discomfort in the low back
*  Discomfort in the wrist or thumb

Hormones produced: blood sugar regulating hormones such as insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide, and digestive juice (pancreatic juice) containing bicarbonate and digestive enzymes. 


The Pancreas glands generate the following emotions:

                   Humiliation,              Pride
                   Jealousy,                      Shame
                   Longing,                      Shock
                   Lust,                              Unworthy
                   Overwhelm                 Worthlessness.

• Muscle connections: Triceps muscles (back of arms), and latissimus muscles (back), as well as the levator scapulae muscles 

• Diurnal cycle: Not known
 

Glands Uterus

Explanation: 

The uterus is a muscular organ, the part of the female reproductive system that provides a growth environment for the fetus.

Common symptoms of imbalance may include:
*  Discomfort in the low back
*  Discomfort in the lower abdomen
*  Discomfort during or after intercourse
*  Discomfort in the left hip
*   Infertility

Hormones produced: None known

The Uterus glands generate the following emotions:

                   Humiliation,              Pride
                   Jealousy,                      Shame
                   Longing,                      Shock
                   Lust,                              Unworthy
                   Overwhelm                 Worthlessness.

• Muscle connections: Gluteal muscles (buttocks), adductor muscles (inner thigh)

• Diurnal cycle: Not known

Glands Testes

Explanation: 

The testes are part of the male reproductive system and have essentially two functions:
• Produce sperm for reproduction,
• Produce testosterone, an androgenic hormone.
              Testosterone is necessary for proper physical development, bone density, and muscle strength. 

Common symptoms of Imbalance:
*   Sterility
*  Lowered sex drive
*  Lowered initiative
*  Lowered healing response
*  Hair loss
*  Fatigue
*  Loss of muscle mass
*  Memory loss

Hormones produced: Testosterone

The Testes glands generate the following emotions:

                   Humiliation,              Pride
                   Jealousy,                      Shame
                   Longing,                      Shock
                   Lust,                              Unworthy
                   Overwhelm                 Worthlessness.

• Muscle connections: None known

• Diurnal cycle: The testes come into prominence during the time of the triple warmer meridian 9pm to 11pm.
