Using your voice and speaking your truth is medicine for your hormones.
The throat-uterus axis…
There is a sacred channel of connection that runs between the throat and the womb. This connection is both biological and spiritual: what impacts one will often impact the other.
For example, in the uterus, two depressions form in parallel: one continues to form the mouth, the other forms to accommodate the openings of the urinary, reproductive, and digestive tracts. The cervix and throat are also connected by fascia and the vagus nerve.
Both are designed to open, contract, and express themselves. When the cervix opens during labor, the throat also opens (with breathing and sound).
However, the opposite is also true. A silenced voice often equals a silenced womb.
You can see the similarities in these beautiful illustrations of the vocal cords and pelvic floor.
The Witch's Wound
The problem?
We live in a culture that has actively silenced women, and continues to do so.
During the witch trials, many women were harmed for being 'witches.' However, these women were often healers and wise women, women who owned their own lands. They were feared because they could not be controlled.
Similarly, in Britain, there was a form of punishment known as the 'scowler's bridle' (also known as the 'witches' bridle'): an iron muzzle used as a cruel instrument of control and humiliation. It was a snout-like device with a sharp point that prevented the wearer from speaking.
The Scolding Bridle
The Legacy…»
These stories are not simply part of the old 'her-story' – they continue to live on in our bodies and wombs.
Our mitochondrial DNA (mitochondria are very similar to our life force energy) comes from our maternal line. We carry a red thread that connects us to the women who walked before us.»
Epigenetics also shows how the traces of trauma, stress, and even famine can be passed down through generations.
Many women carry these ancestral memories of having been silenced, punished, or ridiculed.
Over the centuries, women have been conditioned to play the role of ‘'The Good Girl'’.»
Many different laws were also implemented to control women (such as the Contagious Diseases Act in Victorian England, which gave lawmakers permission to detain women 'suspected' of being sex workers).
Along with this, anger, rage, sensuality, and even our bodies and menstrual cycles have long been shamed, demonized, and pathologized, and this affects many of us today.
We also live in a society where toxic masculinity is on the rise. Women around the world are harmed, silenced, and controlled.
«"The Cost of Being Silenced..."»
When this happens…
Feeling silenced or ashamed of your voice—or afraid to speak your truth—can become a chronic stress burden.
«"This then has a major impact on overall hormonal balance, as well as tension in the pelvic cavity.
Menstrual cycles may become more painful, irregular, or emotionally charged.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is often not entirely hormonal; it can be repressed emotions, trauma, and pain surfacing.
A swallowed voice and truth (particularly swallowed anger) are also increasingly being linked to conditions like autoimmune diseases (80% of which impact women).
Other signs that your voice may be impacting your health and hormones include…
- Tension, feeling of lump in the throat.
- Thyroid imbalance or frequent loss of voice.
- Difficulty telling your truth or saying «no.».
- Feeling like your voice trembles or fades when you're emotional.
- Painful periods, PMS, blood clots, or irregular cycles.
- Numbness or disconnection of the pelvic area or pleasure.
- Pelvic tension, heaviness.
- You silence yourself to keep the peace.
- You feel shame around your needs, desires, or sensitivities.
- Fear of being seen (or ovulation problems).
- You have lost touch with your sensual and expressive self.
Medicine and Healing…
- Daily voice practices: humming, intoning, singing.
- Tell the truth in small, safe doses to reestablish patterns of safety.
- Mirror work.
- Voice + uterus connection rituals (singing to the uterus, breathing from the uterus to the throat).
- Safe anger-releasing practices (e.g., pillow-punching, boxing).
- Write in a diary (Journaling).
