Progessence Plus – The Magic Bullet for Women

October 18, 2011

 

Progessence Plus

Progessence Plus allows women to have natural hormonal balance the way nature intended.  It is an essential oil blend of 95% essential oils, Frankincense, copaiba (reduces inflammation), rosewood and cedarwood (aids with the absorption), bergamot, and peppermint, in a natural Vitamin E base. Wild yam (a natural progesterone) is dissolved directly into the oils.

Specifically formulated by Dr. Dan Purser and D. Gary Young, to maximize the effects of progesterone by utilizing an innovative delivery system;  a super micronized progesterone and frankincense mixture so you can absorb it better through the skin.  Progessence Plus is the first-ever progesterone serum on the market. It is portable, has a pleasant smell, and does not require the cycling of application sites like synthetics do.

Your pituitary:

Produces Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone found in humans and other animals. FSH regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body.  FSH comes out of the front of your pituitary. Its very fragile. If your brain shifts you can damage the stalk. FSH comes from the pituitary, goes to the ovaries, stimulates them to make P4 (progesterone).

The most common cause of low progesterone in younger women is pituitary damage. Trauma from stress, surgery, car accidents (whiplash), traumatic shock, tumors, drug inhaling (vaso restrictor), cheerleading, gymnastics, Traumatic Brain Injury, childbirth issues (sheehans’s Syndrome), etc.

Low progesterone symptoms:

  • PMS (average menopause is age 51)
  • Headaches, especially bad migraine headaches.
  • Endometriosis-progesterone resistance
  • Hot flashes-low progesterone levels
  • Day and night sweats
  • Tmj disorders
  • Insomnia
  • Demyelination which leads to neuropathies. Covering over the nerves
  • Lack of libido (feelings of sexiness)
  • Hair loss
  • Increased acne

Progesterone and estrogen balance each other in the body. Estrogen is a steroid compound hormone that is made up of a group of three different hormones: estrone, estradiol, and estriol. Estrogen is primarily responsible for regulating menstrual cycles. It also plays a central role in other uniquely female functions, such as reproduction and lactation.

Symptoms of Low Estrogen Levels

  • Fatigue
  • Hot Flashes
  • Night Sweats
  • Memory Lapses
  • Difficulty Concentrating
  • Joint Pain
  • Vaginal Dryness
  • Dry Skin
  • Symptoms of High Estrogen Levels
  • Mood Swings
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Loss of  Libido
  • Insomnia
  • Headaches
  • Weight Gain
  • Breast Tenderness
  • Irregular Periods
  • Water Retention/Bloating
  • Hypoglycemia

Benefits of progesterone (human P4) to women

  • It cools the arteries!
  • Prevents 98% of hot flashes
  • Prevents 98% night or day sweats
  • Prevents 98% of pms
  • Prevents 98% of migraine headaches (in females only)
  • Really improves post partum depression
  • Aids in weight loss
  • Helps regrow hair in women
  • Decreases acne
  • Mood elevates, well being
  • Helps with 95% of TMJ inflammation
  • Reduces breast cancer risk
  • Aids somnolence (makes you sleepy)
  • Heals nerves! (Causes nerve remyelination)
  • Gets rid of endometriosis symptoms
  • Improves bone density
  • Improves libido

 

P4 does not equal synthetic progesterone-like chemicals called progestogens; which bind to the body’s progesterone receptors and function for the most part, just like progesterone.  Because they are chemically different than natural progesterone, they sometimes have side effects or actions that are different than progesterone. (For one, they are believed to increase your risk of breast cancer).

Progessence Plus is the fully formed progesterone. Not a yam precursor like some of the “natural” products available today.  Pure progesterone is the end product -super micronized for tiny particle size-less than 5 microns. The tinier – the better absorbed by your body.

 

Product Use

For women only (Don’t use directly on men, it lowers their libido).  Can be used by all menstruating females over the age of twelve.

Apply 2–4 drops twice daily on neck area. For added effect, apply 1–2 drops along forearms twice daily. Does not need to be rotated on different  areas of the body or cycled throughout the month.

Individual needs may vary. Dosage and duration could vary from person to person based on age, current progesterone levels, and menstruation
(pre-menopausal, post-menopausal).

If used at bedtime, Progessence Plus can be calming and help aid sleep.

 

Cautions

  1. Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant,nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare practitioner prior to  use. Do not use in conjunction with contraceptives containing progesterone.
  2.  Progessence Plus should be used after—not before—a warm bath or shower.

Aromatherapy

October 8, 2011

The History of Aromatherapy dates back at least to 4000 BC,  although the term “aromatherapy” was first used in the 1920s by the French chemist René Maurice Gattefossé, who accidentally discovered in a laboratory that lavender relives pain and assists in healing burns. The word “Aromatherapy” is a compound Greek word made up by the word fragrance (aroma) and the word treatment (therapy).

It is historically proven that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Persians used aromatherapy oils.  Most probably, aromatic plants were also known in ancient China, but the Chinese are very good at keeping their ancient secrets.  There is historical evidence in the Bible for the use of plants and oils for therapeutic healing and prayer.  In ancient Egypt, plant oils were widely used for cosmetics, spiritual relaxation, as well as for embalming and mummification of their dead.

 

What is Aromatherapy?

It is a gentle massage using essential oils and means treatment using scents. A gentle massage using essences extracted from flowers, bark, leaves and seeds of certain plants. These oils are known to have therapeutic properties. Aromatherapy is practiced by a diverse set of lay people and practitioners including: naturopaths, nurses, massage therapists, independent aromatherapy consultants, occupational therapists, estheticians, reiki practitioners, social workers, psychologists, reflexologists, and at times and in some countries, by medical doctors.

Aromatherapy can be used to reduce anxiety and agitation, to heal wounds, reduce the impact of stress on the physical body, reduce pain and inflammation, and to expectorate mucus from the lungs.  Aromatherapy is  applied in hospice environments to increase quality of life, in maternity wards to support the delivery process and relieve postpartum stress, and in bodywork practices to enhance the therapeutic benefits of the bodywork technique itself.

Even a simple inhalation of these essential oils can give you physical and psychological benefits, because the sweet aroma of these oils immediately reacts with your brain, soothing different conditions. Blending different essential oils is believed to be more effective as opposed to using only one type of essential oil.

 

Essential oils are the heart of aromatherapy. They have been used to:

    • Heal wounds
    • Energize
    • Improve skin tone
    • Relax muscles
    • Regulate hormones
    • Reduce inflammation
    • Relieve menstrual cramps
    • Improve sleep
    • Stimulate the immune system
    • Kill fungal & bacterial infections
    • Decrease congestion
    • Aid digestion
    • Relieve tension headache
    • Aid blood circulation

 

Stress Relief

In today’s hectic world, stress is something almost everyone is struggling with. As long as we continue to work, stress is likely to set in. It is also common knowledge that stress causes various diseases therefore it is very important to find remedies to reduce stress. Aromatherapy assists in  relieving stress while helping you stay healthy.

There are a few essential oils that specifically deal with stress and many other health conditions causing or resulting from stress.

  • To deal with high levels of anxiety, try essential oils such as Lavender, orange, Roman chamomile, ylang ylang and the blends: RutaVala, Valor, Hope, Peace & Calming, Joy, Present Time, Citrus Fresh, Surrender, and Believe.
  • To handle depression, try Frankincense, lemon, sandalwood, geranium, lavender, angelica, orange, grapefruit, ylang ylang and the blends: Valor, Motivation, Passion, Hope, Brain Power, Present Time, Envision, Sacred Mountain, Harmony, Highest Potential, or Joy.
  • For Insomnia, try  lavender, cedarwood, Roman chamomile, mandarin, and the blends: Peace & Calming, Harmony, Dream Catcher, Valor, Gentle Baby, and Trauma Life.

 

Mood enhancement

Aromatherapy is also excellent for setting moods.  It can ignite romance, enhance meditation, create an environment for studying, or kick up your energy.  Essential oils are environmentally friendly and are a great alternative to aerosol sprays.

 

Improve immune, circulatory and respiratory systems

Aromatherapy is best known to strengthen your immune system. It cleanses the blood and improves blood circulation. Aromatherapy also stimulates respiration, improves the functioning of respiratory system and helps protect the body from respiratory diseases.

 

Are there any side effects of aromatherapy?

When using therapeutic-grade oils, adverse reactions to the oil generally do not occur. However, some people still report rashes, skin outbreaks, and other allergic reactions. This is because essential oils trigger cleansing, forcing out toxins lodged in the body, which can contribute to a small-scale cleansing crisis such as a rash or a headache. In most cases, these symptoms can be alleviated by increasing your intake of water.

Aromatherapy can trigger an emotional release, positive and/or negative memories.  Someone might say, “I hate that smell!”,  followed by a negative memory from childhood when the smell was present. Even in this case, the problem is a toxin in the body, not the essential oil – the toxin just happens to be emotional rather than physical.

 

Oil Safety

The best way to ensure safety, be sure to use only therapeutic-grade essential oils (such as those from Young Living Essential Oils).  Always enlighten your Doctor of any medicines or homeopathic remedies you may be using.  Alcohol should be avoided before and after treatments.

I encourage you to do your own research and discover the powerful modality of healing through aromatherapy.  I did. And now my family reaches for essential oils first, before considering other medicinal and/or household products.
