How to reduce estrogen in women with folk remedies?

Estrogens are the combined name of the female hormones produced in the ovaries and the cortical layer of the adrenal glands. They have a positive effect on the female body only at its normal level. Any fluctuations in estrogen in one direction or another causes various deviations and diseases, which is why it is so important to maintain it at normal levels. Low estrogen levels are also not considered a good sign, especially in women of childbearing age.

Estrogens play an important role in the body, they are responsible for: the development of the sexual sphere, secondary sexual characteristics in women, the development of the egg;

• the formation of subcutaneous fat;
• reduction of cholesterolemia;
• stabilization of blood pressure;
• regulate MC;
• breast growth and breast formation;
• protect a woman's body from CVD and their complications, etc.

Reasons for the increase in estrogen

The amount of estrogen always rises with menopause. Why, although the ovaries no longer produce them. A vicious circle is formed here: weight increases with a fall in estrogens with the cessation of the functioning of the ovaries, but estrogens (of poor quality) begin to form precisely from this fat. Also, an increase is noted during pregnancy, MC disorders, PCOS, endometriosis.

It also increases with malnutrition with a predominance of fats and GMOs, increased estrogen production can be hereditary in stress, liver disease, constant contact with household chemicals, and obesity.

Constant lack of sleep, in which melatonin decreases - it protects the body from excess estrogen. Sleeping at least 7-8 hours is important. Also toxic are: plastics, sprays, perfumes, tile adhesives, cleaner fumes, plastic utensils, oil-based coatings, chipboard, paints and solvents. Try to contact them as little as possible. Do not apply perfumes and deodorants to bare skin, preferably on clothes.

Removal of estrogen

The main and only laboratory for the processing of estrogen is the liver. It converts their excess into non-toxic fatty acids and then they are excreted from the body. In order for the liver to cope with this task, it is necessary to have a healthy gastrointestinal tract, since the pathways for the conversion of estrogen in the liver can lead to the formation of toxic compounds and increase the risk of cancer in a woman.

Symptomatic manifestations

Symptoms of high estrogen include:

• cephalgia frequent and intense;
• increased blood pressure;
• uterine bleeding;
• thickening of the blood;
• acne on the face;
• weight gain;
• dry and flabby skin;
• hair loss;
• feeling of engorgement and chest pain;
• at night, suddenly there are cramps in the calf muscles and foot;
• increase in fractures.

What happens with high estrogen? It all starts with the fact that the hormonal balance between estrogen and progesterone is disturbed, and a violation of the MC necessarily joins it.

Obesity gradually develops, headaches become permanent, heart rhythm disturbances appear. There are endocrine pathologies, various neoplasms in the uterus and appendages, mammary glands. Uterine hyperplasia is often observed, thrombus formation increases, osteoporosis develops, thyroid function decreases, and infertility appears. The psyche is disturbed, cancerous formations develop.

Decreased estrogen

How to lower and reduce estrogens in women with folk remedies? First of all, it should be noted that the concept of traditional medicine includes not only the use of herbs, but also other methods of healing from folk experience, the use of practical skills in assessing and restoring health.

Traditional medicine successfully uses natural factors, mineral waters, mud and even surgical techniques. Folk hygienic culture, meals, work and nutrition regime, dwelling structure, life schedule, etc.

On this topic: adjusting the diet helps to reduce the hormone to normal. Moreover, it is nutrition that is the key here. It is also possible to reduce estrogen after detecting its increase with medication, herbal medicine and diet, maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This implies the correct mode of rest and work, physical activity, giving up bad habits, clean ecology, and avoiding stress.

Eating high estrogen

How to lower estrogen in women with nutrition:

1. Products must be environmentally friendly; many products in supermarkets, while having a beautiful elegant appearance, nevertheless contain many harmful components (pesticides, lubricants, dyes, etc.). They are poorly excreted from the body and accumulate in it.
2. A prerequisite is the presence of fiber in the diet. The latter helps to get rid of excess estrogen residues in bile.
3. Sulfur products must be present. Sulfur cleanses the intestines and liver very well; their function is improved. It is found in garlic, yolk, citrus fruits, onions.
4. There should be a place in the diet for foods with polyphenols: these are plant foods - flaxseed, sesame seeds, sage, fenugreek; whole grains of brown rice, corn, millet, oats, barley and wheat.
5. Red grapes with stones - its peel and seeds contain special compounds that block the synthesis of estrogens.
6. Cruciferous vegetables - cabbage of any kind. They have the ability to reduce the risk of cancer and estrogen levels, because they contain the substance indole-3 carbinol. Especially a lot of it in broccoli.
7. Increase mushrooms in the diet - do not allow the formation of estrogens.
8. Green tea - at least 2-3 cups a day.
9. Pomegranates - fresh and juice.
10. Seafood should be consumed 2-3 times a week. Must have at least 3 servings of cold water oily fish: tuna, salmon, salmon, sardines, halibut, cod, herring, smelt, mackerel. For opponents of fish, you can limit yourself to taking fish oil. Its dose should be at least 2-10 g per day. Algae, shrimp, etc. also become a source of PUFAs. Omega-3 PUFAs inhibit prostaglandins. The use of prostaglandin-lowering PUFAs is essential. Prostaglandins significantly reduce the ability of the immune system to recognize tumors and fight them.
11. Preference is given to white meat - chicken, rabbit, veal, turkey.
12. Salt is limited to 2 grams per day.
13. More vegetables, fruits, greens, grain bread.
14. It is advisable to reduce or abandon animal fats, give preference to vegetable oils. But they must be chosen correctly. It is necessary to cook in extra virgin olive oil (“virgin”, “extra virgin”). Olive oil is a monounsaturated oil that reduces the risk of cancer. Salads can be dressed with linseed oil, which does not tolerate heating. Do not use margarine and spread, which are nothing but trans fats. They are formed from hydrogenated vegetable oils, which have carcinogenic properties.

The lowering of estrogen levels will favorably affect:

• refusal of alcohol;
• from overeating;
• less fresh milk;
• eliminate or severely limit simple sugars, caffeine and fats;
• refuse sausages, smoked meats, fatty meat, especially red;
• avoid unfermented soy products.

It is important to regularly take vitamin and mineral complexes, which will help the body remove excess estrogen from the body. Of the trace elements, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, and chromium are especially useful.

Physical activity

It should be of medium intensity; at least 15-30 minutes daily. This includes walking, cycling, swimming, morning exercises, stretching, yoga. It is important to eliminate stress.

With them, a large amount of useful progesterone is burned and an increased amount of cortisol appears, which always leads to the formation of a new portion of estrogen. Useful is a visit to the infrared sauna - it increases and normalizes low hormonal levels and helps to remove excess hormone from mast cells.

It is necessary to reduce the weight to the norm, try not to exceed the weight by more than 5 kg. Estrogen is formed from fat - you need to know this. Adipose tissue enhances the activity and synthesis of the aromatase enzyme, which converts testosterone to estrogen. Reduces aromatase levels and flaxseed. Weight loss should be accompanied by muscle building. Estrogen must be bound to globulin; this is great for flaxseed. In a bound state, the hormone cannot contact cell receptors and cannot exert its negative effects.

Traditional medicine

Folk herbal medicine is used in the form of decoctions, alcohol tinctures and infusions of herbs and their collections. Proper selection of herbs can both increase estrogen levels and lower it. It is imperative to consult a doctor, since herbs are only a help in the use of medical methods.

An important point is the use of phytoestrogens - when they appear in the body, the production of its own estrogen is reduced. Phytoestrogens also bind to estrogen receptors, but their negativity is 1000 times lower. By replacing natural or synthetic estrogen, phytoestrogens simply neutralize it in the future. Best phytoestrogens: flax, sesame, fenugreek, leafy greens and legumes:

1. Herbs also help to normalize the balance of hormones in women: vitex, poppy, abraham tree, pine forest, red brush, hops, licorice, red clover, oregano and alfalfa. The fact is that they contain a large amount of estrogens that displace natural or synthetic estrogens in the body. Their use must be coordinated with doctors.
2. Also, good medicinal properties are noted in the cuff and Icelandic moss. Decoctions are prepared from Icelandic moss in a water bath. Very effective in FCM.
3. Cuff - can reduce benign formations in the chest, enhances the work of the endocrine system in the body. Upland uterus - an alcohol tincture or decoctions are prepared from it, it removes the imbalance of the hormonal background.
4. Red brush - its alcoholic tinctures and decoctions also normalize hormonal balance, level the MC, relieve pain during menstruation. Grass is not recommended for gestation and HB, increased blood pressure, infections and depression. The combined use of the last 2 herbs enhances their effect. Red brush does not combine with any other herbs.
5. Vitex or chaste tree tincture is great for PMS, which develops with elevated estrogen. The results of treatment appear after 1.5 weeks of admission. The Abraham tree stabilizes the MC. The course of treatment is at least 6 months.
6. Maca is a herb from Peru that is very good at reducing estrogen. The tool has the properties of an adaptogen, which evens out hormonal imbalances and strengthens the immune system. Take no more than 1 g three times a day.
