Symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, heart palpitations, depression, anxiety, loss of memory, and loss of libido already have 50 million American women who are currently menopausal searching for relief. With the halting of the Women’s Health Initiative study in 2002 due to alarming findings regarding the risks associated with conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) combined with the media’s onslaught of conflicting information, it is no wonder that women are left feeling scared, confused, and wanting safe and effective alternative therapies for menopause symptoms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Menopause can be a time of tremendous physical, emotional and social change for women. For some women, it is a smooth transition, but for many others it can be a rocky time. During menopause, the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, and the adrenal glands and fat cells take over. The body is designed to accommodate this natural process, but can only do so if the body is in a healthy state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Men can also experience age-related changes in their hormone levels. Referred to as andropause, this hormonal decline often coincides with symptoms of aging in males. Andropause, named after the male hormones known as androgens, is the counterpart to menopause in women when production of estrogens and progesterone by the ovaries begins to decline. For men, the drop is more gradual than the hormonal “roller coaster” often experienced by women during menopause. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Declining levels of testosterone and DHEA are commonly seen in men beginning in their 40s. These anabolic hormones are particularly important in men, as they are the major players in maintaining both physical and mental health. For example, they increase energy and decrease fatigue; they help in maintaining erectile function and normal sex drive; and they increase the strength of all structural tissues in the skin, bones, and muscles, including the heart. Proper levels of androgens also help to prevent depression and mental fatigue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor both women and men, a major cause of hormonal imbalance is estrogen dominance. This occurs when there is too much estrogen or not enough progesterone to balance its effects. Estrogen dominance is caused by exposure to potent, environmental estrogens (xenoestrogens), found in plastics, pesticides, cleaners, detergents, body care products, meat and dairy products, stress, anovulation, poor diet, obesity, microbial imbalances, as well as synthetic hormones from birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeign estrogens are much more potent than estrogen made by the ovaries. Artificial estrogens activate receptors to stimulate a hormonal effect or occupy the receptor and block natural estrogen from doing its job, thereby disrupting normal endocrine function.\u003cbr\u003eXenoestrogens can accumulate over time, are absorbed through the skin, are difficult to detoxify, and are stored in fat. While endogenous estrogens are biologically active only during the years of sexual maturity, have a life expectancy measured in days, and fluctuate month to month, xenoestrogen exposure starts with fetal development and can be around for decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Village Green Apothecary is committed to bridging the gap between conventional therapies and their alternatives.

This is because the body’s ratio of testosterone to estrogen changes over the years. During your 20s‚ men have sufficiently more testosterone than estrogen; however‚ certain medical conditions or simply getting older causes that ratio to begin evening out. This can result in weakened muscles‚ a depleted sex drive‚ and negative mood changes. Progesterone is a hormone that can help; it’s normally produced by the corpus luteum‚ adrenal glands‚ and testes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKaruna Health’s Progesterone Pure is a natural topical cream that allows progesterone—derived from wild yam rot extract—to be absorbed through the skin. This hormone counteracts the effects of estrogen in the body‚ improving your testosterone to estrogen ratio. An excess of estrogen in the male body‚ whether it occurs naturally or due to environmental factors‚ can result in problems in the prostate. In addition to benefits in the way men look and feel‚ progesterone can improve body composition (by decreasing body fat) and boosting energy levels. Progesterone may also improve some cases of allergies.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnlike other skin creams‚ this formula is hypoallergenic‚ making it safe for those who suffer from allergies or skin sensitivities. The effects of natural Progesterone Pure cream should be noticeable after two to three months of regular applications. As a fat-soluble hormone‚ progesterone should be applied on various areas of the body‚ with the locations rotated periodically for effective absorption.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKaruna Health is proud to celebrate over 30 years of responsible nutrition.
