HORMONAL IMBALANCE, PMT & LIVER–GALLBLADDER TERRAIN

Understanding Why Your Hormones Feel Out of Balance

Hormonal imbalance isn’t just about hormones.
It’s about the terrain those hormones move through — especially the liver, lymph, digestion, mucosa, and emotional field. When these systems become congested or depleted, hormones cannot flow, clear, or recalibrate.

This creates the familiar cycle of:
PMS → tension → irritability → skin flares → bloating → exhaustion → crash.
And it can often worsen with stress, perimenopause, mould exposure, infections, or chronic inflammation.

You’re not imagining it.
Your body is showing a very specific terrain pattern — and it can be supported gently.

COMMON SYMPTOMS PEOPLE RECOGNISE

If your hormones feel out of balance, you may notice:

  • PMS (mood swings, irritability, tearfulness)

  • breast tenderness

  • headaches behind the eyes

  • heavy or painful periods

  • mid-cycle spotting

  • bloating or fluid retention (especially before your period)

  • acne or skin flares

  • waking at 2–4am

  • low mood

  • reduced resilience to stress

  • feeling puffy or swollen

  • nausea or digestive sluggishness

  • intolerance to wine or certain foods

  • “feeling inflamed”

  • low libido

  • fatigue around your cycle

These symptoms are not random.
They point clearly to a liver–gallbladder–lymph terrain pattern.

THE HORMONAL TERRAIN PATTERN

Hormones don’t act alone — they depend on how well your liver clears them, how smoothly bile flows, and how open your lymphatic system is.
Here’s what shifts when hormonal symptoms appear:

1. Liver–Gallbladder Congestion

This is the root pattern behind most hormonal issues.

When the liver becomes overwhelmed (stress, infections, mould exposure, long-term medication, hormonal contraceptives, environmental toxins), it struggles to clear used hormones.

Signs include:

  • anger or irritability

  • headaches around the eyes

  • nausea

  • breast tenderness

  • hormonal acne

  • bloating

  • waking at 2–4am

  • heavy, painful periods

Supports:
Liver–Gallbladder Reset
Environmental Load Cleanse
Blood & Circulation Cleanse

2. Lymphatic Slowness

Hormones circulate through the lymph.
When the lymph stagnates, hormonal symptoms intensify.

Signs include:

  • breast tenderness

  • puffiness

  • swollen glands

  • skin issues

  • headaches

  • fluid retention

Supports:
Lymph & Skin Cleanse
Nettle / calendula infusions

3. Digestive Stagnation

Bile carries hormones out of the body.
If digestion is sluggish, hormones re-circulate.

Signs include:

  • constipation

  • bloating

  • heavy belly

  • cravings

  • nausea

  • fatigue after meals

Supports:
Colon Reset
Liver Reset
Mould & Fungal Cleanse (for cold/damp digestion)

4. Environmental Load / Forever Chemicals

PFAS, plastics, pesticides and household chemicals mimic hormones, burden the liver and increase inflammation.

Signs include:

  • hormonal acne

  • breast tenderness

  • fluid retention

  • sleep disruption

  • low mood

  • worsening PMS

Supports:
Environmental Load Cleanse
Liver–Gallbladder Reset

5. Nervous System Overload

Stress tightens the fascia, compresses the liver, and increases inflammatory hormones.

Signs include:

  • emotional volatility

  • overwhelm

  • anxiety before periods

  • insomnia

  • heart-chest tension

Supports:
Nervous System Reset
Rose / linden rituals
Nature-based grounding

6. Mould / Damp Terrain

Often overlooked.
Mould exposure worsens hormonal imbalance through indirect pathways (lymph stagnation, liver congestion, mucosal irritation, histamine).

Signs include:

  • worsening PMS in damp weather

  • sinus congestion + breast tenderness

  • fatigue + irritability

  • cold/damp digestion

Supports:
Mould & Fungal Terrain Cleanse
Kidney Reset
Lymph Cleanse

WHICH CLEANSE SHOULD YOU START WITH?

Hormonal imbalance always has a deeper terrain cause — and that cause is different for everyone.

RECOMMENDED CLEANSING PATHWAYS FOR HORMONAL IMBALANCE

1. Liver–Gallbladder Reset

Your first choice for:

  • PMS

  • headaches

  • acne

  • irritability

  • breast tenderness

  • digestive sluggishness

  • hormonal swings

2. Environmental Load / Forever Chemicals Cleanse

For hormonal disruption caused by:

  • stress

  • synthetic chemicals

  • plastics

  • PFAS

  • chronic inflammation

  • sleep disruption

3. Lymph & Skin Cleanse

For:

  • breast tenderness

  • puffiness

  • swollen glands

  • skin flares

  • headaches

  • fluid retention

4. Mould & Fungal Terrain Cleanse

If you worsen in damp conditions or have sinus/brain fog issues.

5. Colon Reset

If digestion is slow, bloated or heavy (crucial for hormone clearance).

6. Nervous System Reset

For PMS-related anxiety, emotional swings, overwhelm and sleep issues.

THE OXFORD HERBAL APPROACH

Hormonal imbalance isn’t fixed by forcing the hormones.
It’s healed by supporting the terrain that holds them.

With plants, warmth, lymphatic flow, mucosal hydration and emotional softening, the body begins to recalibrate — naturally and steadily.

This is not detoxing.
It’s remembering how to flow again.
