Our bodies are being attacked from the environment by poisons, sprays, plastics, and from within by processed foods and stress.
The result of these toxins are Xeno-oestrogens.
Xeno-oestrogens are sythenics chemicals from pesticides or plastics that mimic the effect of oestrogen and store themselves in the body. In modern society, xeno-oestrogens are found everywhere from food to cosmetics and scientists are still trying to determine how Artificial hormones are affecting our health, wildlife and the food chain as a whole.
Oestrogen Dominance:
The body produces two hormones - progesterone and oestrogen.
‘Oestrogen Dominance’ was term invented by the late Doctor John Lee of California. Dr Lee had been researching the increase in problems effecting women such as; ovarian cysts, fibrocystic breasts and breast cancer, infertility, osteoporosis, PMS and other menopausal problems.
He believed the cause to be too much (a dominance) of oestrogen in Womens bodies, and considered the problem to be made up of a number of contributing factors - chemicals in the environment, poor nutrition, stress, HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and a general decrease in progesterone.
Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance:
Breast tenderness
Thyroid dysfunction
Problems with menstruation
Bloated stomach
PMS
Acne and skin problems
Uterine fibrosis
Osteoporosis
Infertility
Fibroids
Ovarian cysts
Depression
Prostate problems
Hormonal imbalance is not just a problem associated with menopause - much younger women are having problems now, and the incidence of hysterectomies in these young women has grown noticeably over the last ten years.
One Way of Combatting Hormonal Imbalance:
Along with a selective blend of essential oils, Wild Yam and Chaste Tree Cream can be used to provide relief from menopausal symptoms, menstrual pain and the symptoms of pre-menstrual tension. The ingredients have also been used to provide relief from nervous tension and anxiety. It is more effective in a cream, because it is absorbed into the skin fat and released slowly into the bloodstream bypassing the blocking effect of the liver.
Due to the natural anti-inflammatory properties of these ingredients, both men and women can use the cream as means to obtain relief from joint and spinal pain and arthritis.
If you think you may be suffering from the symptoms of Hormonal imbalance, Destiny Lifestyles can help you.

OSTEOPOROSIS - A hormonal imbalance problem.
Research by Dr J.R. Lee, has shown that oestrogen therapy will only slow osteoporosis, but does not stop it. However, natural progesterone can increase bone density and, at the same time, relieve some of the distressing symptoms. This is because Osteoblast cells (which make new bones) have Progesterone not Oestrogen receptors.
Osteoporosis is not caused by a lack of calcium in the diet. Most women are getting the daily minimum allowance of calcium. The calcium loss in the bones is caused by other factors.
While Oestrogen can reduce bone loss for a short period of time, this appears to stop after menopause. Oestrogen cannot help the body rebuild new bone.
Bone loss can be from a progesterone deficiency, but also from a number of other factors including general health and exercise. It has also been suggested that drinking milk for the calcium content does not prevent you from suffering from bone-loss, and could actually make it worse.
If you are suffering from Osteoporosis or if it is in your family - Destiny Lifestyles have a number of products that could help you.
