Oils & Hormones

Progessence Plus

Young Living has a serum called Progessence Plus, which is made specifically to balance and promote harmony in the body and alleviate women’s issues. It contains a naturally occurring form of progesterone from wild yam extract combined with essential oils and vitamin E. It’s usually applied topically and is made to specifically support female hormones, and thereby, emotions.

Progessence Plus was developed by a doctor who specializes in women’s hormone issues. When testing women who came to see him, almost all of them had low or ZERO progesterone. This is a problem, because this is a hormone that our body needs in adequate amounts for our libido and overall wellness.

Sounding familiar to anyone? Many common women’s issues are attributed to low levels of natural progesterone. Progesterone decreases over time with age and tends to drop after childbirth for many women, and when it drops too low, our sex drive disappears. Low progesterone and/or estrogen also contribute to hot flashes, insomnia and night sweats.

Replacement Hormones

Now, before you freak out because replacement hormones like progesterone and estrogen are dangerous, let’s take a moment to delineate between naturally occurring hormones in the body, plant hormones, and synthetic hormones.

Natural hormones are in our body and are necessary for the reproductive system and overall wellbeing. Phytoestrogens like those found in Clary Sage are plant hormones that are similar to mammal estrogens, and they are bioavailable in the body. Cool, right?

Synthetic progesterone and synthetic estrogen are NOT completely compatible with the body. The synthetic nature of these products are that they have side effects, and the side effects are bad. Like a-disease-we-shall-not-name bad.

Progessence Plus, a 100 percent plant-based serum, features naturally derived ingredients that help the product absorb easily into the skin. Adding it to your daily routine can promote feelings of relaxation, harmony, and balance.
