Natural Remedies for Premenopausal Symptoms

Balancing hormones naturally while premenopausal is a balancing act indeed. As a premenopausal woman, I can confirm the difficulty I experience if I neglect to do all the things available to me naturally to avoid feeling the brain fog, sleep problems, hot flashes, and weight gain that accompany this age. If all of these potential problems are plaguing me at once, it makes for crankiness in a huge way. Some of the natural ways to deal with this health issue are effective enough to put a lot of these symptoms to rest. The following are a few natural remedies for premenopausal symptoms that I use religiously during my current premenopausal years.

Natural Progesterone Cream

This is a product I count on to bring my cycles into solid balance. I find that if I don't use it, I regret it. It seems to make my menstrual cycle more normal in flow and length, which seems to set the stage for the entire following cycle. Find a low 2 percent dose and use approximately ¼ tsp to your neck, face, inner arms and chest areas. It is a safe option for women looking to balance their progesterone/estrogen quotient.

B Complex

Going without these is a huge mistake for me. Not only do I become brain dead, I cannot seem to make decisions well, or come out of my brain fog easily. A good B complex that has at leas 50 milligrams along with extra B-6 that tops out at about 100 milligrams does me a lot of good. It's so noticeable by others as well as myself. Don't be without it! Be sure to take these on a full stomach for the best nutrient uptake.

Prevent Excess Estrogen

It's easy to become estrogen dominant just by being in the wrong environment and using the products that contribute to estrogen dominance. Be mindful of avoiding harsh synthetic products and plastics abundant in the unnatural estrogens that create hormone imbalances. Specific foods including non-organic dairy and meat products are also sources of estrogen dominance.

Raw Juice

Raw juice is a cleansing, potent and medicinal way to nourish the entire endocrine system, including the reproductive glands that dominate your hormonal status. Raw juices purify the liver which is at the helm of your entire health experience. If your liver isn't clean and well, the rest of you will be more toxic. With more toxin circulating throughout your entire body, your pre-menopause will have a great opportunity to create the negative systems you want to avoid. I drink raw juices daily for the best results overall.
