Felicity Organics Hormone Wellness and Balancing

Millions of women are currently experiencing menopause, and for many, the symptoms can be quite disruptive. Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and weight gain are just a few of the most common symptoms. While there are many treatments available for menopause, some women are turning to CBD for hormone balancing. CBD has been shown to help restore balance in the body by reducing inflammation and regulating hormone production. In this article, we will explore how CBD can help relieve menopausal symptoms. While menopause is a natural process, many women find the symptoms intolerable. From hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and problems like weight gain, many women are trying to find a solution. The changes in hormone levels can also lead to difficulty sleeping, vaginal dryness, and low libido. Many women turn to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help relieve these symptoms. However, HRT can have its own set of side effects including weight gain, headaches, nausea, and breast t

  What Time of Day Should You Use Progesterone Cream? Progesterone cream is best used twice daily, morning and bedtime.  Don’t apply immediately before showering or exercising. Give it 30 minutes or more to fully absorb or use it afterwards.   HOW MUCH Apply 20 mg of progesterone per application (4 pumps).  Some women choose to use more at bedtime to support relaxation and sleep. Try using 5 pumps at bedtime for a few nights in a row to see how that works for you. Standard dose not doing the trick? Double your application for a few cycles to see if that works better.  Feeling too relaxed at standard dose? Then try using half as much per application. We are all individuals so you should adjust as needed. 

Progesterone cream is absorbed in the skin readily and immediately reaches hormone receptors bypassing the liver, providing a more quick and pronounced effect.  As such, if the recommended dispensed 20mg is applied, the desired results can be achieved sooner.     Felicity Organics recently announced a forthcoming human trial clinical study to test the absorption of progesterone cream in a statistically significant sample of post-menopausal women.  A requirement of the study's participants is they are not currently undergoing any type of hormone replacement/supplementation regimen.   “Clinical trial” is defined in Section 102(b) of the revised IRB regulations (the 'Common Rule' ) as: “a research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or behavioral health-related outcomes.” This is also an important FAQ we address w

  One of the known “side effects” of applying progesterone cream is sleepiness.  The duration and deepness of sleep is significantly pronounced after applying progesterone cream.  Some studies have polygraphically recorded as much as a 45% to 50% improvements in these two factors.  Read more here reprinted courtesy of https://www.felicityorganics.com/faqs

Progesterone cream is best applied to areas of the body where the cream can be absorbed best by the skin.   Generally, areas that have increased blood flow are ideal.   Apply cream to the soft skin of the inner arms, inner thighs, abdomen or chest. Much of the absorption will occur through the palms of your hands while rubbing it in, so rub it in well before washing your hands. Want to try it on your face or neck? Try a small area first to ensure you tolerate it as these areas can be more sensitive in some individuals.  A particular study found that the face area absorbed better than most areas except the genitalia and underarms which posted close to 100% absorption [1]      Progesterone Cream absorbs readily in the body as it bypasses the liver and is utilized in certain hormone receptors just as a women’s own progesterone is.

One of the two primary female sex hormones is progesterone. Its major roles, sometimes known as “the pregnancy hormone,” or the “master hormone” is to regulate the menstrual cycle and prepare the uterine lining for implantation following ovulation if fertilization occurs. Progesterone levels should be low and estrogen levels should be high during the follicular phase of your cycle. Progesterone increases soon after ovulation and stays increased throughout the luteal phase (the second half of your cycle). If you get pregnant, your levels should remain increased to maintain a healthy uterine environment for the embryo’s development. If you don’t conceive, your progesterone levels decline towards the end of the luteal phase, causing your uterus to lose its lining and giving you your period. Although progesterone is important for your cycle and pregnancy, it also has a variety of other functions in your body, including: Boost moods Relieve the symptoms of perimenopause Boost your stamina a

One of the known “side effects” of applying progesterone cream is sleepiness.  The duration and deepness of sleep is significantly pronounced after applying progesterone cream.  Some studies have polygraphically recorded as much as a 45% to 50% improvements in these two factors.  Many of our readers are intrigued to find out that both women AND men secrete both estrogen and progesterone, the two hormones usually associated with women.  Men produce testosterone in greater amounts than estrogen and progesterone, but these two hormones are present at lower levels in men.      Progesterone is a precursor to testosterone.  As men age, testosterone and progesterone decline and estrogen rises, absent an intention to counter this effect.    This is somewhat similar for women.   Our progesterone levels help balance estrogen. As we age, both estrogen and progesterone levels in our bodies start to decrease…generally starting at around fifteen years prior to the full onset of menopause – a per

  One of the questions our very own Dr. Deb is asked is “Where to Apply Progesterone Cream for Weight Loss”. This isn’t a very common question.  But interestingly, the question of where to apply progesterone cream is asked online at least twice as often as the search term “where to apply progesterone cream”.   And so we added the question to our FAQ section at   https://www.felicityorganics.com/faqs/ , where you can find many other commonly asked questions about progesterone cream and hormone balancing.  The quick answer is that progesterone cream is best applied to areas of the body where the cream can be absorbed best by the skin.   Generally, areas that have increased blood flow are ideal.  These areas include the hands, the face, chest, breasts and inner arms and inner thigh areas.  A particular study found that the face area absorbed better than most areas except the genitalia and underarms which posted close to 100% absorption [1]     Progesterone Cream absorbs readily in the bod
