Since
total truth came out about HRT, medical community has been in turmoil and somewhat divided as to what should be recommended to women who are experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance. In meantime millions of women are confused about what to do to relieve their symptoms and at same time not cause health problems down road. Natural progesterone cream, when used correctly, seems to help many women through symptoms of hormonal imbalance with many added benefits. Natural progesterone, has same molecular structure as progesterone produced by body. It is absorbed through skin and into bloodstream. It can help your body keep estrogen and progesterone levels in balance, resulting in maintained sense of equilibrium.
As beneficial as natural progesterone cream is, we must be aware that we are dealing with a very delicate system - endocrine system. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola: "The problem relates to fact that progesterone is highly fat soluble and once applied to skin will store itself in a woman's fat tissue. When one first uses cream, there is no problem here as fat stores are very low. But as time goes on, cream accumulates and contributes to disruptions in adrenal hormones such as DHEA, cortisol, and testosterone. I have learned that although progesterone cream is an enormously useful tool, it needs to be used very cautiously."
It is advised that women test their progesterone levels yearly. Although progesterone over-dose is not something that causes great harm, initially-sleepiness is a clue-the solution that we are after is balance of all hormones. Anytime there is an over-balance of a hormone, even progesterone, system will suffer and symptoms will appear.
Along with progesterone, balancing adrenals is very important, but something that is often over-looked in hormonal balancing. There are many useful herbs that can help accomplish this along with following: Diet, Stress and Sleep.
A totally balanced diet like one offered in my E-Book, Balancing Your Hormones Without Drugs…You Can Feel Good Again, is imperative. I am convinced that about 85% of all hormonal symptoms can be relieved with a healthy, balanced diet. Along with diet, drinking half your body weight in clean, pure water is also essential.
Hidden stress can be underlying cause of why some women do not experience symptom relief of hormonal imbalance. Stress is often a "silent symptom" in that we have usually learned to consider it as being a normal part of life. Some suggestions in dealing with stress include: meditation, prayer, yoga, EFT, exercise (especially walking), deep breathing and learning how to remove yourself from difficult situations. In order to alleviate stress these must be practiced very daily.
