Endocrine System Tuning Forks

The Endocrine Tuning Forks are vibrationally intuned with a healthy functioning Endocrine System. By having regular attunements one can reprogram the endocrine system to that of healthy vibrations and keep an already healthy Endocrine System healthy. To understand the importance of Endocrine Health lets take a closer look at the Endocrine System.

Endocrine System

The nervous system sends electrical messages to control and coordinate the body. The endocrine system has a similar job, but uses chemicals to “communicate”. These chemicals are known as horlmones. A hormone is a specific messenger molecule synthesized and secreted by a group of specialized cells called an endocrine gland. These glands are ductless, which means that their secretions (hormones) are released directly into the bloodstream and travel to elsewhere in the body to target organs, upon which they act. 

Each hormone’s shape is specific and can be recognized by the corresponding target cells. The binding sites on the target cells are called hormone receptors. Many hormones come in antagonistic pairs that have opposite effects on the target organs. For example, insulin and glucagon have opposite effects on the liver’s control of blood sugar level. Insulin lowers the blood sugar level by instructing the liver to take glucose out of circulation and store it, while glucagon instructs the liver to release some of its stored supply to raise the blood sugar level. Much hormonal regulation depends on feedback loops to maintain balance and homeostasis. The endocrine system tuning forks help to balance the response between the hormone receptors, organs, and hormons. 

There are three general classes (groups) of hormones. These are classified by chemical structure, not function.

• steroid hormones including prostaglandins which function especially in a variety of female functions (aspirin inhibits synthesis of prostaglandins, some of which cause “cramps”) and the sex hormones all of which are lipids made from cholesterol, 
• amino acid derivatives (like epinephrine) which are derived from amino acids, especially tyrosine, and 
• peptide hormones (like insulin) which is the most numerous/diverse group of hormones. 

The major human endocrine glands include:

• Adrenal 
• Reproductive
• Pancreas
• Thymus
• Thyroid
• Parathyroid
• Pineal Body
• Pituitary
