A lot of people are struggling with estrogen dominance symptoms and are trying to learn how to deal with this condition. Below, we will present you with a simple agenda which will balance your hormones, and both men and women can use it as a method for prevention.

The 10 Symptoms of Estrogen Dominance

1. Irregular menstrual periods
2. Problems with low libido
3. Bad PMS with breast swelling and tenderness, headaches and extreme mood swings
4. Fatigue
5. Hips and abs weight gain
6. Brain fog
7. Thyroid dysfunction
8. Hair loss
9. Slow metabolism
10.Insomnia

Step 1-Removing “Xenoestrogens”

As a result of industrialization, there are many harmful chemical compounds which are part of our day-to-day routine. One of these chemicals is “xenoestrogen” which can act like estrogen in our body and this is where estrogen dominance comes into place. Try removing the following items from your daily routine, so you can avoid xenoestrogen.

-Plastic Tupperware
-Plastic bottles
-Avoid cosmetics, toiletries, and makeup that is not natural
-Avoid tap water and non-organic dairy
-Dryer sheets
-BPA cans
-Avoid birth control pills
-Soy protein isolate

Step 2- Ensure Efficient Elimination

If you suffer from chronical constipation, then it will not be easy for you to remove estrogen from your body and it will only go back to your bloodstream, continually causing problems. This is why it is essential that you do estrogen detoxification before continuing to other treatments.

Try to work on your bowel movements and to make them regular by following these tips

-Drink around 3 liters of water daily
-Eat more vegetables
-Consume probiotics such as sauerkraut, miso, kefir, plain yogurt, and kimchi.
-Include more fiber in your smoothie
-Use supplements such as magnesium citrate to improve your bowel movements.
Additionally, you can also follow this advice:

Make sure you take deep breaths in order to practice your lungs
-Go for lymph massages
-Sweat out with an exercise, or go to a sauna to eliminate toxins from your body
-Remove dead skin cells with a dry skin brush.

Step 3 – Improve your liver health and increase estrogen detoxification

A liver which functions well can help us remove the excess estrogen through natural detoxification which happens in phases. In phase I, the liver works in transforming the bad estrogen into milder estrogen. In phase II, this mild estrogen is turned into water-soluble form and in this form, it can be removed from the body through stool and urine.

There might be situations when the liver is not able to remove the toxins from the body:

-If the liver is not receiving enough nutrients, then phase I and phase II won’t be possible.
-If you consume too much alcohol, junk food, and drugs then your liver will not be able to do the detoxification, since it will be fighting against these other chemicals.
-In order to support your liver function, make sure you do these things:

-Avoid processed food and consume more whole-foods
-Drink more filtered water
-Don’t overeat
-Avoid alcohol
-Eat more food which will help your liver
-Beets, leafy greens, artichoke, onion, leek, garlic, eggs, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, kale, etc.
-Dandelion root, Oregon grape root, rosemary, ginger, red clover, milk thistle.
-Supplement with B-vitamins and folic acid

Millions of women suffer vaginal yeast infections every year — including painful infections that re-emerge just when you think they’re gone for good. In fact, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), estimates show that around 75 percent of all women will have a vaginal yeast infection at some point in their lives!

Yeast infections are fairly common in menstruating women and even though they are easy to treat, they can be quite problematic in the beginning. If you are confused about having a yeast infection, let me name some symptoms for you. A fishy smell down there, thick discharge that has a thick, cottage cheesy texture would indicate a yeast infection.

Candida, a bacteria is responsible for these kinds of infections but do not fret, I am here with some easy solutions for you!

1.Tampon suppository

If you use tampons already, you will find this to be no trouble at all. Buy an organically manufactured pack of tampons and then dip one of them in a bowl of completely unseasoned yogurt until it cannot soak anymore in and then use it for three days, changing tampons at regular intervals.

2. Eat yogurt

Safest and the most natural way to go. All you need are a few spoonfuls every day!

3.Probiotic drinks

Nothing fights bacteria as well as a probiotic but remember to be brand conscious about these things.

4.Organic coconut oil

Works like a charm. Be sure to only apply to the area that is attacked.

5.Tea tree oil

A few drops into the yogurt will ward off all bacteria.

6.Soaking in apple cider vinegar

Warm baths always help with whatever problem you might have and a yeast infection is no different. Just half a cup in some warm water will do the trick.

7.Garlic

Do not apply it anywhere. Eating it would chase all the candida away.

8.Vitamin C

Pineapples, mangoes, papayas, all of it- rich in vitamin C and will help you get the bacteria away from yourself.

9.Oil of oregano

Again, the magic does not lie in the application; it might not suit your skin. The correct way to use oil of oregano is to use it as an inhalant, say when you are unwinding after a long day or work. It might not seem like a lot but it works really well.

10.Aloe vera

Aloe vera can treat just about anything. Some gel directly on the affected area will soothe you more than you can possibly imagine.

11.Cranberry juice

It is rich in antioxidants and can do a fantastic job of keeping the harmful bacteria at bay.

12.Green tea

It will not only make you feel better when you are in pain but will make your immune system stronger, keeping away the bad bacteria.

13.Peppermint oil

Make sure you add water to this oil before it makes contact with your private parts. You could also add a few drops into your bath water. You will smell amazing too!

14.Epsom salt

Like the apple cider vinegar remedy, Epsom salt would also work extremely well if you did a soak.

In conclusion, do not worry yourself sick when you fall victim to yeast infections, every woman gets one at least once in her life.
