Hormone Health & Stability with Progessence Plus

Progessence Plus is a lifesaver. I am wondering to myself, what doesn't it do? To begin, I want to share a little bit about what I've been wrestling with for awhile now. For years, I have struggled with severe premenstrual syndrome. However, due to stress, these symptoms have increased in the last two years. Many of my symptoms ranging from cramps (debilitating cramps that require me to become bed-ridden for, at least, two days), emotional instability, acne, hot flashes, heavy flow, and more. I usually prefer to retreat for the first few days and not go anywhere or see anyone. It's terrible and it hurts knowing that a woman's menstrual cycle was never meant to be this painful. While I love using herbal remedies, none of them were working fast enough to deal with the anxiety and other symptoms that I experienced every time that time of the month came around. Although I had heard of Progessence Plus many times, I was hesitant to try it because I was truly afraid it would fail me like everything else. But I was about to be surprised!

Now, a little background on this amazing blend. Progessence Plus combines natural, USP-grade super-micronized (to less than 5 microns) progesterone from wild yam, melted into an essential oil infused serum containing vitamin E, and seven essential oils including Copaiba, Frankincense, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Peppermint, Rosewood and Clove which all have natural anti-inflammatory properties.These specific essential oils promote skin absorption of the progesterone in even levels like nothing before.

This serum was specifically designed with women in mind by D. Gary Young and Dr. Dan Purser, MD (author of the book, Progesterone the Ultimate Women's Feel Good Hormone), to reduce estrogen by increasing progesterone levels. Most of us are familiar with progesterone as the hormone needed to maintain pregnancy, but it does much more than just that! Some of the benefits of healthy progesterone levels in the body are shown to:

cool arteries

prevents 98% of hot flashes

prevents 98% of day or night sweats

prevents 98% of PMS

prevents 98% of migraine headaches in females only

improves post-partum depression

aids in weight loss

decreases acne

mood elevation  (best time to take is at night)

helps 98% of TMJ inflammation

reduces breast cancer risk

aids in sleep at night

reduces endometriosis

improves bone density

improves libido

makes breasts light and fluffy

Low progesterone levels often result in:

PMS

headaches, especially bad migraine headaches

endometriosis

hot flashes

day and night sweats

TMJ  (lack of progesterone)

insomnia

dehydration leading to neuropathy

lack of libido

hair loss

increases acne

 Estrogen dominance has been linked with hair loss, weight gain, cancer, memory loss, uterine fibroids, autoimmune conditions and fatigue according to Dr. John Lee’s book, Hormone Balance Made Simple. Estrogen dominance is running rampant among women today, mostly due to environmental toxins.

Since this past May, I have consistently been using this blend almost daily (along with other essential oils such as Lavender, Cedarwood, Frankincense, and Joy - AND getting my daily magnesium with Natural Calm Magnesium supplement, a crucial mineral required for hormone health). This is my routine:

1. One drop on left side of neck. One drop on right side of neck.

2. One drop on left forearm. One drop on right forearm.

 Repeat every morning and every night. 

The amount of drops vary from person to person because some women may require double or more that amount. It takes time to figure out the dosage that works for you, but it is certainly worth it.

 Within days, I noticed a significant improvement in my emotional well-being. Instead of being prone to moodiness, I felt more content, focused, and happy. Within 3 months, my cramping went from experiencing severe pain on the first 4 days of my cycle to experiencing a manageable pain for the first 2 days of every cycle and NOT being bed-ridden anymore - which means I can still get stuff done around the house and no longer be crippled over from pain! The longer I use it, the more I notice my cramps beginning to be barely non-existent during each cycle. In addition, the hot flashes went away. The acne that flared up at certain times of the month began to disappear. The flow of my period seems to be balancing out with each cycle, becoming less heavy. The severe anxiety and depression that hit me at the start of my periods have nearly disappeared. I can't express how much joy and freedom this product has given me!

Quality Always Matters

  The Ancient Essentials blog has been a bit too quiet lately, but there has been quite a bit on my plate. I hope to soon share posts and testimonials on hormonal balance and emotional support with YLEOs. For today, I thought I'd blog a simple post sharing the new Seed to Seal website that Young Living Essential Oils recently launched [Click on image below]. Quality essential oils are an ongoing topic of debate right now, so how appropriate is it that Young Living is providing us detailed steps to share their process of producing essential oils. Honesty and integrity speaks for itself.

  Their new website contains videos and step by step summaries of each step they take to ensure their customers only the highest quality of essential oils. In the words of Gary Young, "If you don't know your seed, you don't know your oil." These steps are essential to a pure oil. If any step of the way is compromised, or left undone, then the quality of that oil cannot be guaranteed and should not be used internally or topically. While Young Living has full control over the production of their oils, many others are merely broker companies - not producers. This is why I give a word of caution to anyone who is seeking other essential oil brands just because they are cheaper. Cheap = Cheap. Don't take that risk on your own health. When you take the time to find out what it is involved in producing a pure and unadulterated oil, you will realize it is not cheap at all to make. It is worth the investment for the safety and health of your own self and family to commit to a company that cares about you. Young Living has shown that commitment time and time again. They don't settle for less when it comes to their products and their customers.
  In addition, through the wholesale membership and the Essential Rewards program offered by Young Living, you will find that you can save quite a bit if you are a regular buyer of essential oils. The wholesale membership grants you 24% off products ($50 a year in oils maintains your wholesale customer status) and gives you free access to join the Essential Rewards program at anytime, which is $50 in oils a month to maintain. The Essential Rewards program offers you discounted shipping and the ability to receive 20% back on your orders every month (I've been doing this for the past several years and LOVE this program! At the end of every year, I have free points racked up on my account and am able to purchase a ton of oils and products! It's basically like Christmas!). Now isn't that a savings? So, when it comes to essential oils, do your research. Know your company. Know your producer. Learn what it takes to create a pure essential oil and the real costs of it. Lastly, I finish this post with a graphic of the top reasons why I encourage others to choose Young Living Essential Oils.

To get started using therapeutic grade essential oils for you and your family, I recommend purchasing the Premium Starter Kit! You can begin enjoying wholesale prices AND a large selection of essential oils at the same time. This is a great way to begin incorporating the most versatile essential oils into your daily life.

Budget Bug Repellent Spray

This past week, I was shopping at my local organic and health food store and noticed an elaborate display for bug repellent sprays and creams. I am sure they all smelled wonderful, but the prices weren't too exciting. Most of them were around $10 for just 2 to 3 ounces of liquid. I went home to figure out how much I am saving by making my own bug repellent spray. I came up with the recipe below and, after doing the math (how much each 15ml essential oil bottle costs wholesale, how much per drop of the roughly 300 drops in each bottle), I calculated that my 1 ounce bug repellent spray came out to $2.40! Even if I doubled it, it would still be super cheap: $4.80! This is a great way to keep on budget, but still have a high quality product.

Purification is a blend of Citronella, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Myrtle, Lavandin, and Melaleuca. It is widely know that Citronella is an insect deterrent and a good sanitizer and deodorizer of surfaces. It can even be combined with Cedarwood to enhance its effect. The other oils in this blend are very purifying  and cleansing to the skin which makes them safe and gentle to use. Peppermint and Clove are also known as oils for deterring bugs and the Peppermint gives a great cooling sensation to your skin.

Budget Bug Repellent Spray

1 oz. spray bottle
1/4 tsp Epsom Salts
20 Drops Purification
10 Drops Clove
10 Drops Peppermint

First, place the Epsom salts in the bottle and drop the essential oils over it so that it soaks in the oils. Then, fill the bottle with distilled/purified water and you are good to go! When I spray this over my arms, legs, and neck, I usually use my hands to really rub it all around so that I don't miss any spots.

I use this spray whenever I visit my in-laws who live out in the country. During summer evenings, their porch is filled with very large mosquitoes hovering about! I was able to sit outside to enjoy the night air and, although the bugs were flying around, not one of them landed on me. Success!

The great thing about this recipe is that two of the oils (Purification and Peppermint) are included in the starter-kit when you become a Young Living wholesale customer - and a 15ml bottle of Clove is only $15.25 with wholesale pricing!
