• For minimizing estrogenic activity, your primary opponent is the xenoestrogens (chemicals that mimic estrogen) that pervade the clownworld we live in. Your main exposure to them will be through the water supply (both drinking and bathing), any hygiene products, soaps of all kinds, plastics or any petroleum products, any cleaning products, all non-organic foods. Smaller sources include the treatments on leather and carpet and other household items. With this in mind, you will want to install filters on your showerhead or any tap you drink from. You will want to replace all your hygiene and cleaning products with organic/clean/eco-friendly alternatives, with some being easier to replace than others (might have to try multiple products). Lastly, try to get organic food as much as possible.
• From a TCM perspective, the liver is responsible for removing excess estrogen in the body (especially purely toxic xenoestrogens). If the liver becomes stagnated, this will impede the removal of estrogen from the body. Minimize heavy meals near bed time, keep up the exercise, and include lots of green vegetables in your diet to support the liver. If you are of the kapha dosha, you will want to do extra to fight against this and all stagnation forms.
