Hypothalamus, Pituitary, and Pineal–Functions and Herbs
Time - Dreams - Emotions
The top of the endocrine cascade.
"That which first masters dream time later masters reality." - Matthew Wood
These, the glands of the head, settle into two significant divisions: pineal, which does not participate very much in the endocrine cascade, and the hypothalamic-pituitary, which stands at the top of the cascade.
The pineal is largely credited with the regulation of the biological sense of time. Great mysteries are associated with this gland. In our experience, it also interacts with the dream state, so it is actually highly regulatory on a profound level of the organism. The hypothalamus and pituitary operate together, on the other hand, to regulate the endocrine core, so their function is extremely important.
This class describes the major hormones secreted by the anterior and posterior pituitary, as well as with neurotransmitters and the limbic centers - where emotions are registered.
