Natural progesterone side effects are of concern to anyone new to the idea of using natural progesterone as a therapy. In recent years, natural progesterone has enjoyed increased popularity and usage among women. Users are interested in restoring hormonal imbalances without the use of synthetic hormones and other pharmaceuticals having potentially very dangerous side effects, including various forms of cancers.

Compounding the concern about natural progesterone side effects is the continued reluctance of mainstream medical practitioners to promote and prescribe the use of natural progesterone among patients. While the effects of natural … read more

Often as we begin to age, many women experience the growth of additional skin hair, and hair growth in places they had not experienced it before. Facial hair on the chin, above the upper lip, darkened or thickened “sideburns”, chest or breast hair, and hair on the abdomen can all be sources of surprise for aging women.

The fact is that skin hair has been growing in those areas all along, even on a woman’s face. However, prior to the onset of puberty, her skin and facial hair is much more delicate or “fine”, and is characterized by a type of … read more

We’ve all been through it. That “time of the month” when your wasteband seems to have shrunk two sizes, your fingers look like mini sausages and your rings are mysteriously cutting, your feet swell and become at least a half size too big for your shoes, or your blouse and shirt sleeves seem to squeeze the very life blood from your arms. It’s bloating, and it happens to many women coinciding with phases in the menstrual cycle, and beginning often a few days … read more

Natural Progesterone And Hot Flushes

Natural progesterone and hot flushes. How in the world could they possibly be related?

You’ve heard about them for years. Your mother, grandmother, aunts or neighbor ladies have most likely all offered their personal, and animated, descriptions. When a woman gets close to “the change”, she may expect to experience the dreaded hot flushes (hot flashes). They’re “sneaky”, merciless, unforgiving and indiscriminate. They attack with little or no prior warning (other than your heart feeling as if it’s about to beat through your chest), often at the most … read more

You used to feel sassy, sexy and full of life. You enjoyed the aspects of physical closeness; the natural desire that coincides with a natural, healthy libido. But, that interest in sex, the desire for sex is long gone. You may assume that it’s a natural part of the aging process. But, what if it’s not? Healthy women enjoy a natural interest in and desire for sex. That includes healthy women who are past their childbearing years. Just because a woman has reached or passed her menopausal life stage, by no … read more

Mood swings are normal…everybody has them. But largely because women are perceived as “emotional” beings, their changes in mood can seem amplified to others, whether or not it’s a justified assessment.

Mood swings can be triggered and affected by a number of factors, including those that are mental and emotional, environmental, or physical in origin. Simple things like failing to get enough sleep, going for long periods of time without eating, or being overwhelmed and overworked can affect a woman’s mood. Similarly, equally simple things such as being able to enjoy an extended period of relaxation, or successful completion of an … read more

During the years that a woman is able to bear children, the hormone progesterone is produced from within her ovaries. In her post-menopausal years, her body continues the production of progesterone in the adrenal glands and fat cells.

“Natural progesterone” is a hormone produced from plants that is biologically identical to the progesterone created in a woman’s ovaries. It is made from soybeans and yams, and is readily accepted by the body.

Natural progesterone works within the body exactly as progesterone manufactured in the body would, causing few if any side effects. For … read more

Many women are wondering if there really is a viable, effective natural alternative to HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Hormone Replacement Therapy is a synthetic form of therapy (unnatural) which whilst may be somewhat effective in treating symptoms of menopause, unfortunately produces a number of potentially very serious short and long term side effects.

These side effects and illnesses can include:

Increased chance of getting high blood pressure and a hardening of the arteries.
More risk of blood clots
Heightened chance of a heart attack
Increased risk … read more
