Good Morning,
I have been using a product from Arbonne that's call PhytoProlief, which is a Natural Balancing Cream. Here's some information on it:
PhytoProlief Balancing Cream Results in More Energy and Fewer Mood Swings
PhytoProlief is Botanically Based Balancing Cream
Arbonne's PhytoProlief Natural Balancing Cream is the one little bottle that I must have. This amazing cream improves my mood and gives me energy. If I'm traveling, the balancing cream gets carried on and not checked with the luggage.
A balancing cream is a blend of phytoestrogen herbs that adapt to women in any phase of their lives. The phytoestrogens in PhytoProlief help balance either too little or too much estrogen. Women who are nursing or pregnant should not use it.
Hormonal imbalance can result in mood swings, foggy thinking, depression, weight gain around the middle, hot flashes and lack of energy. PhytoProlief is a natural balancing cream that shows us that all of these symptoms are not simply part of life. Sometimes we forget what it feels like to be light and energetic.
The ingredients in PhytoProlief have been used for many years in treating hormonal imbalances, so the beauty of PhytoProlief is that it brings together a beneficial blend of these herbs in an easy-to-use lotion. For example, red clover and black cohosh are often recommended as teas to address hot flashes, etc. The teas work, but you can't always have a cup of tea on hand given our lifestyles. Information on individual herbs is available at the National Institutes of Health National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine,

The key ingredients in PhytoProlief are chaste tree, dong quai, evening primrose oil, red clover, alfalfa, licorice, ginseng and black cohosh extracts. The blend is light and greaseless. It absorbs immediately. The Prolief for me is made without the phytoestrogens.
If you are not nursing or pregnant, check into PhytoProlief, and Prolief for men. It's a small bottle and you simply rub in a squirt on your inner arms or armpits after a shower

I am on a small HRT pill. Mine is 1mg BUT my doctor has me to go off of it for 1 week (7 days) at the beginning of each month. Just like if you were on the pill. I use my PhytoProlief with my HRT pill every day with the exception of when I come off of it from the 1-7th of each month. I had a total hysterectomy almost three years ago. The day after my surgery I went through full blown menapause in less than 24 hours. Wasn't fun at all. Now I don't suffer from night sweats or mood swings, but I do have to watch my weight (weight problems runs on both sides of my family). My DR wants me completely off all HRT by the time I'm 60. I will tell you this...coming off of the HRT & the Phytoprolief for the 7 days, I still don't have any hot flashes or problems. Maybe because I've used it faithfully for so long that my body is accustom to the balance in my system now. Don't know, but for those of you that are looking for something, give it a try. It usually takes (3) three weeks before you'll see a change.
