estrogen cream - #18284
I was recently advised to use estrogen cream for dryness and irritation, but I am concerned about its long-term effects. I want to understand whether Ayurveda has natural alternatives to estrogen cream, and if there are safer ways to balance estrogen levels naturally. From what I read, estrogen cream is often prescribed to women experiencing menopause, vaginal dryness, or hormone imbalances. While it may provide relief, I have heard that using synthetic hormones can sometimes lead to side effects like headaches, mood swings, and even hormonal dependency. Since Ayurveda focuses on natural hormone regulation, I want to know if there are herbal oils or treatments that work similarly to estrogen cream but without the risks. Are there Ayurvedic herbs or oils, such as Shatavari, Ashoka, or Sesame Oil, that can naturally support estrogen balance and improve vaginal health? Additionally, I have noticed that my hormonal balance fluctuates depending on stress, diet, and sleep quality. Could estrogen deficiency be related to a dosha imbalance in Ayurveda? Does Ayurveda recommend specific foods, lifestyle changes, or detox therapies to maintain optimal estrogen levels? Since I want a natural and long-term approach, please provide Ayurvedic insights on estrogen cream, whether natural alternatives exist, and how I can balance estrogen naturally using herbal, dietary, and lifestyle recommendations.
