As women age, their levels of progesterone decline and contribute to osteoporosis, increased risk of breast and uterine cancers, mood swings, depression, and many other conditions. Estrogen levels can also decline and increase women's risk of heart disease.
Between the ages of 45 and 55, these hormones decline to a point where menstruation ceases. Replacing these declining levels using topically applied progesterone or pregnenolone creams may be the most effective way to replace and boost declining hormone levels. Pregnenolone may be especially effective as it is the precursor hormone from which the body creates both progesterone and estrogens.
The most commonly prescribed drugs are conjugated estrogens (from horse urine) or synthetic medroxyprogesterone. The molecules in these synthetic hormones are foreign to the human body and can dramatically increase the risk for ovarian and breast cancer with time.
Young Living carries several natural essential-oil based products that can help with hormone balancing. These are the most popular and my personal favourites.
1. PROGESSENCE PLUS SERUM:
Progessence Plus Serum is a natural progesterone supplement made with essential oils and wild yam extract which has no harmful side effects.
Some of the benefits of wild yam (progesterone) include decrease in symptoms of menopause and PMS, reduce risk of heart attack or stroke, normalize blood sugar levels, improve bone density, combat weight gain, reduce hormonal headaches, hair loss and more.
Estrogen dominance has been linked with hair loss, weight gain, cancer, memory loss, uterine fibroids, autoimmune conditions and fatigue.
This serum was specifically designed with women in mind by D. Gary Young and Dr. Dan Purser, MD, to reduce estrogen by increasing progesterone levels. Because of its formula it does not require cyclic use or rotation of skin sites unlike most progesterone creams.
This can be used for women of all ages including teens over 12 to help naturally regulate hormones cycles. It also promotes relaxation and aids in sleeping.
2. ENDOFLEX
Provides healthy overall endocrine and glandular support for men and women. It amplifies metabolism and vitality and creates hormone balance. It supports the pineal and pituitary glands, parathyroid, thymus and adrenal glands. It may also help alleviate hot flashes and stimulate weight loss by improving metabolic function. It can also help to ease mild PMS symptoms.
3. DRAGON TIME
A wonderful relaxing blend of oils that relieves PMS symptoms and menstrual discomforts such as cramping, water retention and irregular periods. It helps balance emotions, alleviating mood swings and headaches caused by hormonal imbalance. This blend may also help men with prostate problems.
4. PRENOLONE PLUS
This cream utilizes natural pregnenolone (called the "master hormone" because it is a precursor to all the other hormones produced within the body including progesterone, estrogen and testosterone) and a small amount of natural progesterone to replenish and soften dry or irritated skin. With the help of the essential oils that are included in this formulation, the pregnenolone is quickly and efficiently transferred to the cellular level where it can be converted into the appropriate hormone that the body needs at that particular time. Unlike many natural progesterone creams, there is not the need to regulate the use of this cream as the body can eliminate what is not needed without any side effects. Also, unlike other natural hormone creams, this one can also be used by men. It may help with the following: wrinkles, libido (restores), blood sugar levels (normalizes), cell oxygen levels (restores), bone density (improves), weight control (helps use fat for energy), zinc and copper levels (normalizes), blood clotting (normalizes), thyroid action, breast cancer and fibroids (protects against), headaches, asthma, backaches, infertility, hair loss, depression, hypoglycemia, inflammation, exhaustion, insomnia, arthritis and more.
Aren't you glad we now have these? Goodbye PMS, bad mood! Hello balanced hormones!
