Female hormones and pressotherapy at home: complete guide by life stages
Introduction: the role of hormones in a woman's life
Female hormones are much more than chemical messengers: they are responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle, fertility, mood, metabolism, skin, energy and even sleep quality. Throughout a woman's life, these hormones constantly change, influencing how she feels and how her body functions at every stage.
Understanding these changes not only helps to improve health, but also to adapt self-care habits that accompany each life phase. Among these habits, more and more women are incorporating pressotherapy at home as a wellness tool to improve circulation, reduce the feeling of tired legs and promote relaxation.
