Treatment of estrogen dominance

Natural Progesterone supplementation:

Bioidentical progesterone cream
Estrogen dominance can be reduced by supplementing progesteron with bioidentical progesterone cream and by reducing patient’s exposure to environmental toxins or xenohormones. Recent studies indicate that bioidentical progesterone cream curbs hormonal imbalances.

Herbal Formula
There are many herbal formulas which are made to improve the symptoms caused by the estrogen dominance. It is proven that some of them can significantly improve the uterine fibroids and pelvic pain/cramps, irritability, tension, mood swings, acne, headaches, breast pain, bloating and weight gain. It was also found that chaste tree extract really helps the body remove exogenous from hormone therapy or contaminated food.

Antioxidants
Human liver is the cornerstone of the body health. Naturopaths and other alternative medicine practitioners who look for the underlying cause, often discover that the liver has had a role in this hormonal imbalance. The liver has two mechanisms designed to help detoxify the body. Antioxidants such as vitamins A, E, and especially C are essential for detoxification as they help the cells neutralize fee radicals that cause mutation and cellular damage.

Taurine
Taurine is an important amino acid in the female body and female hormone estradiol depresses its’ formation in the liver. Women who are on estrogen replacement, birth control pill, or those suffering from excessive estrogen may need more Taurine because it is helpful in clearing excessive fluid retention during menstrual period. 

Some useful tips

Dietary changes
Patients should improve their diet by including organic meats, poultry, eggs and dairy products that contain no growth hormones and antibiotics. They should also increase the consumption of fresh cold-water fish, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna are a good source of protein and of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

Regular exercising
A simple walking 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes is all that it takes. It is proven that exercise is essential for a healthy metabolism and hormone balances. Avoiding exercise can lead to an increased risk of illness, obesity, less energy, and even hormone imbalance.

Prevent obesity
Obesity is usually defined by the body mass index or BMI, which is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. An index of between 18.5 and 25 is considered healthy, while those with a score between 25 and 29 are classified as overweight and those whose BMI is higher than that are considered obese.

Stress reduction
Several researches have proven that the adrenal gland is where the stress is expressed. Chronic stress leading to adrenal fatigue is a leading cause of progesterone depletion and estrogen dominance.
