| A huge segment of the population, the “Baby
Boomers” are turning 60 this year. Along with this “graying of
America” comes some specific age-related conditions that affect women.
Back in my mother’s day, discussing pre and post-menopause in public
was taboo. Today, there is strength in numbers. These issues are
openly discussed on TV talk shows, a vast number of books are written
on the subject and age-related women’s health issues are addressed in
popular magazines all over the news stands. Also, there has been a
shift in thinking and people are now aware of negative consequences of
using HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and prescription sleep aids
and are turning to alternative therapies to support and improve their
quality of life during this time. We at
Christine’s Cleanse Corner, Inc are committed to bringing our
customers some of the finest natural and organic women’s products on
the market today. These products can assist in balancing hormones to
alleviate the symptoms of hot flashes, sleeplessness, mood swings,
preserving bone and preventing bone loss, cardiovascular disease and
other conditions that often times appear during this transition in
life. We also have a wonderful, natural line of skincare called
MyChelle Natural Skin
Care that helps to prevent premature aging and can alleviate
visible signs of aging; as well as two ground-breaking books by
world-renown physician, Dr. John R. Lee, M.D. entitled
What Your Doctor May Not
Tell You About Menopause and
What Your Doctor May Not
Tell You About Premenopause – Balance Your Hormones and Life From
Thirty to Fifty.
Hormone Balance Products
Life-Flo natural
products for woman is an extensive line of physician - developed
topical, all natural bioidentical plant-based compounds that mimic
estrogen and progesterone hormone-like effects in the body. These are
very different from synthetic progesterone and estrogen that have side
effects. It has been well established that during this period of a
woman’s life, there is a great decrease in progesterone while estrogen
levels regularly spike (and then ebb). This is called
estrogen-dominance that causes many menopausal discomforts. The
applications of the Life-Flo products are easily and conveniently
controlled with a pre-measured pump.
The Life-Flo product line includes
ProgestaCare Natural
Progesterone Cream. ProgestaCare helps women reduce the severity
of PMS symptoms, lessen the effects of menopause and counter-balance
the effects of estrogen dominance, as well as reduces breast cancer
risk, hair loss, fat gain from estrogen dominance, menopause acne,
migraine headaches, and much more. ProgestaCare is the #1 selling
natural progesterone cream trusted by millions of women worldwide.
Life-Flo’s superior formula represents the purest ingredients you can
buy. With all its benefits, purity and quality, ProgestaCare is
recommended by physicians and women more than any other natural
progesterone cream.
Life-Flo also offers
ProgestaCare Plus with
Phyto Estrogens. Phytoestrogens are natural compounds derived from
various plant sources, which provide estrogenic effects in the human
body. ProgestaCare Plus can help women restore a healthy hormone
balance, while offering the convenience of one easy application daily.
Some women experience low levels of estrogen, and this product
modulates the progesterone/estrogen balance. These symptoms include
sadness, irritability, anger, anxiety or tension, fatigue and lack of
energy, difficulty concentrating, changes in appetite, too much or too
little sleep. Other symptoms may include breast tenderness or
swelling, headaches, joint or muscle pain, bloating and weight gain.
These symptoms may also be present during PMS, so this could also a
good product to use during that time.
The active ingredients in the Life-Flo products
include: Natural Progesterone to help balance hormone levels, balance
estrogen dominance and purify the blood. Borage oil helps with mental
disorders. Damiana improves mood and energy. Lecithin helps glandular
function. Tocotrienols (natural Super Vitamin E) is a powerful
antioxidant. Primrose Oil helps with PMS symptoms. Aloe Vera soothes
and softens skin. MSN (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) supports the immune
system. Grape Seed Extract is a powerful antioxidant. Krill Oil (in
PMS Relief) is composed of
marine phospholipids (omega 3 oils). Omega-3 fatty acids are well
known for their effect upon cardiovascular health and are effective in
preventing the common signs and symptoms of aging. Life-Flo even
carries products that help lubricate and enhance sexual pleasure.
Inflammation
Inflammation may be the root cause of many
menopausal conditions such as heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis,
Alzheimer’s and autoimmune system diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis, psoriasis and other conditions including aging skin.
Inflammation is a natural reaction to stress, injury or infection.
Things that trigger inflammation include drug overuse, stress,
environmental toxins, free radical damage, infections, injury, trauma
and bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, poor diet and hormone
imbalances. Any system, organ or tissue of the body can become
inflamed. Inflammation can also lead to allergies, arthritis, asthma,
Crohn’s disease, IBS, and osteoarthritis, again to name a few. We
offer a wide array of proven products to help reduce inflammation in
the body.
