Hi Kate! Chasteberry is an ingredient on some of the natural progesterone creams. But the answer isn't just getting rid of estrogen. It is very complicated and I KNOW I won't do a very good job of explaining. The website I cited (www.johnleemd.com) has an articles section.
Estrogen dominance will use up all the progesterone in your body. It is the lack of progesterone that results in the breaking down of the sheath that surrounds the nerves. Progesterone also works at promoting bone growth. Estrogen *does* stop bone loss, but it is the progesterone that promotes the growth. Here is Dr. Lee's definition: Estrogen Dominance Estrogen dominance is a term coined by Dr. Lee in his first book on natural progesterone. It describes a condition where a woman can have deficient, normal or excessive estrogen, but has little or no progesterone to balance its effects in the body. Even a woman with low estrogen levels can have estrogen dominance symptoms if she doesn't have any progesterone. So it is of utmost importance to get the progesterone too. Lori -----Original Message----- From: Kate Strong [mailto:[email protected]] Hi Lori, I wouldn't have thought taking progesterone cream would be the answer to oestrogen dominance. I would have thought taking something like vitus agnus (chasteberry) would be more of the answer? Helping to eliminate excess oestrogen. You think?
