9 Ways to Restore Hormonal Health ...

In a previous article we looked at the main reasons behind hormonal imbalance and monthly suffering that affects many women. Today, we will explore natural strategies for alleviating PMS and restoring feminine health - 9 approaches to heal emotionally and hormonally during your premenstrual phase.
1. Try to reclaim and appreciate the wisdom of your monthly cycle …
You can easily do that by celebrating it as a source of your feminine power, rather than an annoying condition in need for a medical intervention.
2. Have a good look at your everyday menu …
Because the food you eat may be the main culprits of your monthly suffering. A high-carbohydrate diet of junk foods, processed vegetable oils, trans fats, stimulants, and soy products instigates hormonal imbalance and sets the stage for women’s health problems.
3. Adjust your diet …
Adjust your diet taking care to include adequate animal protein, plenty of healthy fats such as natural butter, fish oils, and coconut products, as well as a variety of fresh and fermented vegetables and fruit. Do you also know that many women begin to feel better after eliminating grains containing gluten, especially wheat?

4. Stop eating non-organic dairy product …
And I am talking milk, cottage cheese, ice cream, etc. Supermarket milk usually comes from cows treated with BGH (Bovine Growth Hormone) and antibiotics. Both steroids and antibiotics reside in the milk and interfere with the female hormonal system. Organic dairy products from independent small producers, though, are perfect foods, and you can eat them liberally.

5. Refrain from buying highly processed vegetable oils and commercial salad dressings …

As the chemicals they contain disrupt the natural regulation of hormone production. Instead, bring back tradition and use healthful animal fats for cooking and natural sour cream and extra-virgin olive oil for dressing your salads.

6. Try to cut down on coffee, black tea, chocolate, and sugary soft drinks …
Since they overstimulate the adrenal gland and may negatively influence hormonal health. Opt for purified water and your hormones will thank you.
7. Let it shine!
Help stabilize your hormonal levels with everyday exposure to a full-spectrum natural light. Not only it will restore your hormonal health, you will feel so much happier too.

8. Yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, or other types of calming exercises and deep relaxation techniques …

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I am 23 and have been taking Ortho TriCyclen Lo for the past five years. I did take a break for one year, but have currently been back on for the last year straight. I noticed that when I stopped taking birth control, I got acne, had hair loss, ovarian cysts, and really bad mood swings. I felt that after I got back on birth control my hormones have balanced out....but unfortunately I have been experiencing the same symptoms as I did when I was off birth control, while I am currently on the pill. After my first year of being on the pill, I developed ovarian cysts. I still have ovarian pain quit often (weekly). Being off the pill causes more cysts/ovarian pain for me. I eat very healthy and exercise regularly. I have had the first vaccine of Gardasil which is supposed to prevent HPV. I would not recommend it at all. Vaccines are very very bad in my opinion. I weigh 124 and do not have any children. I am going to try the black strap molasses and other herbal remedies along with more meditation. Good luck to all who are experiencing the same symptoms as me. I know it's hard, just try to stay positive and do your research before taking any new meds or starting a new regimen. :)

Thanks for your help...easy to understand. Concrete information that i can be aware of and share with others.

There is actually a zero tolerance policy on antibiotics in milk. And no, BST does not show up in the milk (even so, i buy my milk from a regular supermarket and i've never seen one that doesn't say "from cows not treated with rBGH). Antibiotics do show up in milk, but EVERY batch is tested for antibiotics before it is packaged and sold, and if any are detected, the owner of the cow that the tainted milk came from has to pay for the entire tank of milk out of pocket (not something a dairy farmer will want to do). This is something that is taken very very seriously in the dairy industry! Cows who have an infection that requires treatment with antibiotics are not allowed to produce milk for market until they are healthy again and the antibiotics are well out of their system. Yes, milk with antibiotics present would be unhealthy IF it was allowed to be sold. Thanks to strict regulations and testing, consumers don't have to worry about it. Writing whatever sounds good without bothering to confirm it via a reputable, legitimate source is quite a disservice to your readers. So do your research before you try to scare people out of eating things that are perfectly safe.

I would just like to share the title of a wonderful book that explains and offers solutions for many of the problems mentioned here. Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom by Dr. Northrup. Check your local library for a copy.
