Hormonal Imbalance

Hormones are regulated by a complex system involving the ovaries, thyroid, adrenal glands and liver, among others — and the liver in particular plays a role in clearing excess hormones from circulation once they’ve done their job. Some clients find that supporting elimination and liver function contributes to a sense of better balance, though we’re careful not to overstate what a colonic can do here.

Where colonic hydrotherapy may fit in

For clients focused on hormonal balance, a coffee infusion is often chosen to support liver detoxification, or an alkalising greens infusion for general rehydration and mineral support. Some clients also use colonic hydrotherapy as part of preconception preparation — one of our practitioners, Carmen Farrugia, specialises specifically in fertility-focused naturopathy and can talk through how colonic support might fit into a broader plan.

When to see a doctor instead

Significant or persistent symptoms — irregular or absent periods, unexplained weight changes, mood changes, or symptoms suggestive of a thyroid or adrenal issue — should be properly investigated by your GP or an endocrinologist. Hormonal imbalance has many possible causes, several of which need specific medical treatment that a colonic can’t provide.

Pregnancy and fertility considerations

Colonic hydrotherapy isn’t recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy. If you’re trying to conceive or are further along in pregnancy, talk to your practitioner about timing and suitability before booking.

What to expect

We’ll ask about your health background, any hormonal diagnoses, and pregnancy status during pre-session screening, and tailor recommendations accordingly.
