I was under the impression that progesterone would just counter estrogen-induced edema, and my edema's not from estrogen, but rather from mold VOCs -> brain overreacts, stresses out, and releases aldosterone. It turns out that progesterone will treat any kind of edema because progesterone binds to the mineralocorticoid receptor tighter than aldosterone and inhibits it.
I've just read about progesterone, mainly because I noticed that whenever I listen to the Progesterone Isochronic tones I get really horny! hahaha...and guess what, in addition to increasing the libido, progesterone causes calmness and reduces anxiety. I also found this on the Wikipedia page for Progesterone:
"Progesterone enhances the function of serotonin receptors in the brain, so an excess or deficit of progesterone has the potential to result in significant neurochemical issues."
But that got me thinking...since Progesterone is supposed to be at its highest levels in our bodies during the luteal phase, then why most of us suffer from PMS? Is that a sign we have a deficiency in that hormone?
