Natural medicines are available to help PMS sufferers accomplish the therapies outlined by the physician. These are based on a woman's individual needs as ascertained through blood and hair analysis, thyroid studies and other naturopathic medicine diagnostic procedures and our clinical experience. PMS, Peri-Menopause, and Menopause symptoms can be traced to an imbalance of progesterone to estrogen. A deficiency of progesterone develops in relation to an excess of estrogen. This imbalance results in an abnormal excess of estrogen.
Excess estrogen can also cause a lack of libido.
Besides this imbalance, which usually begins in the hypothalamus, there are zeno-estrogens in our environment that can enter into our bodies, both men and women. These estrogens can be found in herbicides, pesticides and the foods we eat. Some women may say they are on birth control pills and therefore they receive their proper supply of progesterone. Birth Control Pills contain Progestin, which is a synthetic form of progesterone. Progestin has been known to cause breast cancer.
