WOMEN'S HORMONE ISSUES - SOME NATURAL IDEAS
Women of every age commonly have hormone imbalance issues, caused by prescription medication use (particularly antibiotics, steroids and birth control pills), diet (especially high in sugar, refined grains, starches, soy) and lack of exercise.
So we learned a lot over the years, much of which has come our way through our dear friend, Helen Pensanti, MD (www.askdrhelen.com) and much from researching books and papers on the subject. We also keep adding to this regularly, so you may wish to check back for updates!
Synthetic hormones often cause breast cancer, cysts and other hormonal imbalance issues because the body cannot assimilate them properly ~ why not try natural, bio-identical hormone products?
Soy is a plant estrogen that, for many, can create or enhance estrogen dominance, which can lead to various types of cancers, thyroid/adrenal/pancreas dysfunction.
Women continue to produce estrogen even after menopause and after complete hysterectomies.
Natural progesterone creams can offset estrogen and testosterone imbalance each day, resolve cramping, bloating and other PMS symptoms.
Black Cohosh can cause heavy periods and even menopausal women to begin their periods again.
Sheperd's Purse is helpful for severe bleeding.
One big concern we have about birth control (Estrogen and Progestin) like those that change period cycles to 4 times per year: Women have monthly cycles to cleanse the uterus of built-up tissue and debris; your monthly period aids with systemically cleansing and toning, which helps to prevent infection. We worry that using cycle-altering birth control measures could eventually render a woman sterile, cause fibroids, cysts, cervical cancer and other hormonal imbalance, NOT TO MENTION blood clots that cause heart attacks or stroke and the other side-effects common to such measures.
NATURAL IDEAS FOR WOMEN FROM PUBERTY THROUGH POST- MENOPAUSE:
PMS / Puberty - pre-menopause (around 13 - 40 +/-): Kokoro Women's Balance Creme (apply 1 pump topically, rotating daily, to breasts, neck, inner arms or inner thighs beginning 7 days after the first day of your period, for 24 days, then stop for 6 days during period, then begin application again the 7th day for 24 days, etc.).
Peri-Menopause (41 - 50 +/-): Kokoro Women's Balance Creme (apply 1 pump topically, rotating daily, to breasts, neck, inner arms or inner thighs) every day.
Menopause and Post-Menopause (51 - and up +/-): Kokoro Women's Balance Creme (apply 1 pump topically, rotating daily, to breasts, neck, inner arms or inner thighs) every day WITH Kokoro EstroHerb Creme OR Transitions every day.
FOR ALL: Anger, anxiety, moodiness, weight gain, bloating, loss of libido, dry tissues, fatigue, etc.- Add in Vitamin B-6 (100mg 3 times per day) plus Complete EFA's (Fish, Flax, Borage oil combination) (2 in the morning and 2 at night) WITH Black Currant Seed Oil (4 in the morning with Complete EFA's).
Get some exercise, even if it is walking or swimming/water aerobics. There is no sedentary, easy way through life!
