I today's video I'm sharing how I was able to balance my hormones naturally & heal myself of a lot of the very uncomfortable symptoms I had with my cycle for years. This is what worked for ME - I'm sharing this because it's had such a profound effect in my life, but I am not a doctor and none of this information should be taken as medical advice. If you are struggling with hormonal issues and can't seem to get to the bottom of it yourself, I always think seeing a functional doctor or a naturopath is a great place to turn!

Thanks so much for watching my videos & supporting my channel! xx - Фільми й анімація
Hormone balance is serious. I changed my eating to meat-heavy, low carb, which helped with hormones & I now have painless periods! I can’t even believe it sometimes!
Diet makes the biggest impact in my opinion too!
That's amazing!!! So glad to hear it!
I so appreciate this video! I knew some of these things but didn’t really know the “why” behind some things so thank you for making this!
Aw yay so glad to hear it!! Thanks for watching! :)
I kid you not, I just came across your channel about an hour ago & I already love it! Initially looking for non-toxic skin care, I watched your video from about 5 years ago which led me to click on your page & watch this one which WOW! I have never felt more seen, for 12 years this is exactly how the first day of my periods has been down to the being fetal position on the floor, vomiting, hot flashes & hoping you can sleep it off. The woman in my family never experienced this and always thought I was being dramatic & every doctors first solution is birth control & made me feel if I didn’t get on it then it would never get better. Since then I have been trying to do more research about trying to naturally balance hormones & find this so helpful! all this to just say thank you!!!!
Oh my gosh hi!! You were meant to find me lol! And gosh I'm so sorry that's your experience too, it's TOUGH! And yes doctors just seem to brush it off which just makes it even harder. I hope you can find healing, it's been life changing for me!
Thank you for this. This WAS very helpful!
So glad to hear it!!
Thanks for the video! I just started using Progessence Plus a few days ago and I'm already noticing a difference!
I have absolutely loved this video and the fertility video, thank you so much for all the information!
Aw yay I'm so glad to hear it!! Makes my day!
You’re my newest fav UA-camr!! Random question but what toothpaste do you recommend
Thank you for this very informative video!❤ I have struggled in a similar way with my periods ever since the beginning (I am 33yr) and you are the first person who not only described my situation almost exactly ( minus the birth control) BUT gave products that are a potential salutations! I am definitely going to order and give it a try. Hopeful💗
Aw yay I really hope it helps!! It's changed my life so much! xx
Thank you for sharing! Do you apply the progesterone plus the week before your period only or everyday?❤
Great video. Pro plus is great. I use Dragon Time and I really benefit from Sclaressence too.😊
Love me some sclaressence!!
I will be trying this oil. I am hypothyroid and battle with insomnia. Since watching your video I got tested for my levels and while the dr said I was fine my progesterone level came back slightly low. This may be the solution to my problem. Thank you for sharing your story.
Maybe it will do the trick! I hope it helps!
It’s so wild hearing other people talk about having periods like that. Mine were literally the same from when I first got my period up until I went on birth control. I don’t know if I grew out of it or what, but after high school, it never was that bad again. I’ve never heard anyone else talk about having periods like that. I thought I was the only one.
I have these same symptoms. It's getting more and more common nowadays as well. I wish mine went away lol.
When do you apply the progessence oil? Just the week leading up to your period?
My grandmother uses the brand always and one time I bought the usual things she wears from them and I legit had to put them in my trunk bc I couldn’t take how they smelled. Sooooo strong.
Eeeek fragrance is insane!!
Could you do a video on those products you have replaced? Hope I m not missing on any category
Thank you for this! And 100% on fragrances… I’m so sensitive to them now that I’ve cut them out and my husband doesn’t get it when he sprays or uses something with fragrance. I will never go back!
Isn't it wild?? I still can't get over how powerful they really are once you don't use them
Hi! Thanks for all of the info! I see the link to the oils you used comes up with a serum. Did you make your own roller? If so, how specifically? Also, can you direct me to where you discuss some of the non toxic brands and items you do like?
I just apply it straight on from the bottle! A couple drops on my forearms. I share majority of my non-toxic living content on my @cloveandarrowessentials instagram! I also have some posts on my blog too
Thank you for the suggestions. Do you know if those oils happen to help with high cortisol as well?
Progessence plus can help because it balances out progesterone and estrogen. High cortisol and high estrogen usually go hand in hand :)
Dark chocolate, raw cacao, helps lower cortisol! (I've been seeing my naturopath for 2 years, and I've also dont a lot of research and follow 2 naturopaths om youtube. Look up dr Janine bowring, and dr sarah gottfried.
Love this! Do you use both oils while on your period too?
For the progessence plus oil, how would you use it for ttc? I have been trying to get pregnant for 10 months now . Do you do it before or after ovulation and how many drops and where do you put it? Thank you!!
Hey becca, i have a couple questions for you. I tend to get mild pms and 10month pp i started getting *migrain intense pain* headaches. A little desperate, i started putting herbal progestron cream on and take an herbal hormone balancing tincture. It seems to keep them at bay.
I was told to get a hormone level test. And that the headaches were caused by pressure in the pituitary gland and so i dont need porgesterone.
Whats your thoughts?
Also, i have tend ovulation tenderness also.
I’m going to order both oils. We have been trying to conceive for 3 years and have one ectopic pregnancy. However, I’m interested in the oils because my periods are PAINFUL. Exactly how you described yours, but I have a regular cycle (28 days) Would you recommend any other oils for fertility in addition to those two?
Good morning.
Can I apply the progessence plus serum under the tongue? I’ve watched a video on UA-cam, and the lady said you’ll get the best result when you apply 1-2 drops (like smear it) under the tongue. But isn’t it only for external use?🤔
Can these oils you mentioned help with post menopause issues? Or is there a different oil for that?
I know so women that use them for that!
Can you use the oils whilst pregnant / trying to get pregnant too?
I use the progessence plus in my first trimesters to help support my progesterone levels naturally, but I stop using it after that until baby is born :) and yes I used these oil will TTC and also sclaressence which is an awesome oil for supporting fertility!
What were the apps called that helped you search up products? I would love to start switching over to nontoxic products, but I do feel a little overwhelmed.
I used the think dirty app years ago, the EWG healthy living app is also a good one. The EWG skindeep database is great for personal care & makeup! www.ewg.org/skindeep/
I literally say that to my husband every time I have my period!! I said that my periods are worse than childbirth by far! I was confused when I was going into labor bc the cramps were so mild and the nurses almost sent me home bc I was too calm but checked me just in case and I was 5 cm and ready to go 😂 never taken birth control bc it made me scared how it affected other people. I need to start switching by products bc those periods radiate pain to my knees!
I would try switching to a menstrual cup! Some say it has completely eliminated cramping
@@theunseenthings I did that before and it didn’t help with that 🫣
@@NikkisNest have you tried cutting anything out of your diet? I find that lower carbs/sugar really helps!
Ugh gosh yeah it's so hard!!! and LOL to the labor story because SAME
what about clary sage? I've read that it's helpful for cycle support.
I started using clary sage too!
Yes for sure!! I'm pretty sure the dragon time blend has clary sage!
Young Living is 20 minutes from my house (literally across the Lake from me) yet I have never tried it. I am definitely going to try, I suffer with estrogen dominance and take a host of supplements for it. Would live love to get off the sups and just do oils
No way!! Have you been to their Mona farm there? Such a cool experience they have so much there!!
If you suffer from estrogen dominant, i hope you're on a natural progesterone supplement. Also, make sure you're eating a lot of fiber! I was diagnosed with pmdd, I've cut out gluten, dairy, and found out I'm allergic to some other stuff hiding underneath that as well. I eat a lot of veggies, coconut oil, beets, beans, oatmeal, cacao powder, i take probiotics regularly, i take betaine hcl plus by biotics research as a digestive enzyme. I hope this helps. I'm always trying to tell my story to help others. I also eat a lot of bacon and avocado to help keep my weight up and keep fat on for my hormones to function.
@@BeccaBristow I have driven by that farm but have not gone to it. I just went to the Young Living store (Seed and Soil) last week and purchased the Progessesnce.I know it can take up to two months to feel the effects, but I swear I am already feeling better and much calmer. I am so thankful you put out this video
Whats the difference between scarlessence and lady sclroel oil?
I know sclaressence is one of the best oils for supporting fertility (what it was created for) and I've personally used it for that. But I've actually never used lady sclerol so I'm not totally sure!
Any drawbacks to pro plus? Do symptoms return when not using?
I have had no issues since starting mine about 6 months ago! And if I miss a day, no big deal
Yeah I would say I've never had any negative drawbacks..I still use it but if I forget here and there I don't notice a difference anymore. I think now that I've switched products and reduced a lot of my exposure to xenoestrogens in general the estrogen problem isn't as prominent if that makes sense!
Do you have any suggestions for products that you make at home? I checked the links you shared but they are expensive. I don’t need pretty packaging which bumps up retail prices.(I’m referring to facial cleaners, moisturizer, makeup not oil blends. )
One of my favorites that's pretty cheap is the doterra onguard and you dilute it for an all-purpose cleaner. Young living has thieves that's similar
For makeup, check out toups & co! It's a little pricy but you don't use much so it lasts a while
@@theunseenthings Still too pricey for me. Thanks though. I really would like to make my own. I could customize it for my own skin type and complexion.
@@theunseenthings I have made my own household cleaners. I have lots of essential oils. It's amazing the many purposes of vinegar. Thank you again for suggestions.
@@staceyjones3261 ouroilyhouse on UA-cam has some great homemade makeup recipes!
I got the comparable oils through REVIVE. Third party testing and more affordable if that helps anyone.
What about natural fragrance :)
Also, switching period products to a menstrual cup!!!
Ahhh I need to do this lol I have been kinda dreading making the switch LOL but I'm with you so many period products have sketch ingredients - fragrance being one of them sometimes which just blows my minddd
Menstrual cups are awesome!
How would P+ work in menopause? Dryness, low sex drive etc?…..
I know women use it that are going through menopause but I don't have any personal testimonies I can share..yet lol!
