Using Natural Progesterone Cream Wisely
Since the total truth came out about HRT, the 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 the meantime millions of women are confused about
what to do to relieve their symptoms and at the same time not
cause health problems down the road.
Natural progesterone cream, when used correctly, seems to help
many women through the symptoms of hormonal imbalance with many
added benefits. Natural progesterone, has the same molecular
structure as the progesterone produced by the body. It is
absorbed through the skin and into the 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 - the endocrine
system. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola: "The problem relates to
the fact that progesterone is highly fat soluble and once
applied to the skin will store itself in a woman's fat tissue.
When one first uses the cream, there is no problem here as the
fat stores are very low. But as time goes on, the cream
accumulates and contributes to disruptions in the 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, the system will
suffer and symptoms will appear.
Along with progesterone, balancing the 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 the following: Diet, Stress and Sleep.
