The endocrine glands are part of our bodies control system, effecting the bodies physiology on a cellular level through the functioning of the nervous system.

The chakras are vital in the regulation of the bodies states of consciousness and emotional well being, because inner emotional balance is a function of balanced chakras.

Chakrs exist outside the etheric body and are points of connection through which energy flows from one being to another. Consider the chakras like individual gears in an interconnecting structure of cogged wheels. If one of the wheels revolves too fast or too slow in relation to the others, the entire system would have to be re-aligned in order to perform correctly.
If the chakras become dysfunctional, they may be too open or rotating sluggishly. This could be caused by some emotional blockage. Once the dysfunction has been identified, it will be easier to bring to chakras back into equilibrium.
