@sl22 Absolutely not a stupid question! The biggest hormone breathwork can support is cortisol (stress hormone), which regulates your nervous system. Practicing intentional breathing regularly can help with hormone imbalances by reducing stress and promoting a consistent sense of relaxation in your body - even in moments of pain (PMS, cramps, endo flare-ups, etc).
Breathwork techniques like yogic pranayama breathing exercises and diaphragmatic breathing can help with hormonal regulation in this way, stimulating what is known as your vagus nerve to take you from a 'fight or flight' response into a 'rest and digest' response, or from sympathetic to parasympathetic (to get more scientific!). By lowering your cortisol levels through breathwork, you're able to regulate your emotions, improve your mood, and improve your immune function by reducing inflammation in the body. Not to mention the respiratory health and mental health benefits that come alongside this.
