The Cellular hypothyroid function and Low estrogen are both drivers of this condition.Please do the blood test for both to know the ROOT CAUSE behind diabetes, pigmentation & dry skin.If you have any blood reports ( 6-12 months old), please share the PDF with me to better understand the condition.️Watch these factors- which can be a cause of the skin condition –1- Intake of black tea (and, to a lesser degree, strong coffee & green tea).2- Imbalanced intake of essential fats (both O3 and essential O6).3- Low zinc and vitamin A are particularly crucial4- Hydration (and sodium/potassium balance) matters greatly.️Local application1- Apply vitamin C serum/orange peel powder paste every day2- Use sunscreen when going out.3- Use homemade face wash/ gentle face wash like Cetaphil / Cera Ve

It`s a natural phenomenon, end of the reproductive years you are “around menopause” and the body is making natural transition to menopause. Irregular menstrual cycle is a normal process just be with it.
The level of Estrogen (female harmone)- in your body rises & falls unevenly so so your menstrual cycles may lenghten and shorten.
In 6-12 months you will be absolutely fine. This is a difficult time for your family too (mood swings uff)
*Yoga, meditation/ breathwork can help to keep you calm
*calming teas are helpful
*Vitamin D top-up is important.
*Dong quai is my absolute favourite herb, a remedy from traditional chinese medicines. You can use the root of this plant as a tincture/extract/ as a tea.
*Switching to a whole plant-based diet really helps in the smooth closingm of this stage.
Early menopause, in your case, is at which case?
It’s a natural process. Most women begin menopause from 45-55 years. Its okay if it starts before or around that time. Its genetic as well.
Dong Quai herb (Chinese herb) is very potent for irregular periods.
Boil the roots of this herb & make a tea & drink every day. You can get its supplement capsules also (Nature’s way brand is good)
1tbs of soaked Garden cress seeds are safe for pregnant women. Moderation is key. Please ask your doctor before starting to eat regularly
Dong Quia is my fact herb for the period problems. Take 1000 mg tablet-2 times a day or have crude root extract devotion 8-10g per day. Continue for more than 3 months to see the results
Are you planning a baby? In general, there is no harm in continuing your folic acid supplement during the periods. If there are problems in periods in that case we need to look deeper. Please either consult with a gynecologist or DM ME WITH OTHER DETAILS
