Endocrine disorders are typically grouped into two categories:

  • Endocrine disorders result when a gland produces too much or too little of an endocrine hormone, creating a hormone imbalance.
  • Endocrine disorders are due to the development of lesions (such as nodules or tumors) in the endocrine system, which may or may not affect hormone levels.
  • Treatment is complex – as hormones are interrelated and treating one may adversely affect another. Ayurveda takes a whole-body approach to treatment.
