The Uses And Forms Of Natural Hormone Replacement

By Randi Boyer


As women get older their bodies are unable to produce certain hormones or reduce the production, this stage in life is referred to a menopause. The use of hormone therapy to treat the symptoms of menopause is common. Many women are choosing to use natural hormone replacement rather than traditional forms because it is believed that these products, being natural, work better with the body's systems. The products come from substances found in nature and are very similar to hormones produces by the body.

Menopause is the reason most women need or choose therapy. The symptoms commonly associated with menopause are moodiness, inability to sleep comfortable, and hot flashes. These symptoms can be easily treated with the right combination of supplements. Although treatment will vary from person to person, depending on their specific condition.

For women who experience early onset menopause, or loose the function of their ovaries, can also benefit from the use of therapy. These conditions can be caused by a variety of different medical or genetic issues. Finding a regular therapy that works can help women deal with these issues until they reach the average age when menopause occurs.

The other major use of therapy is to help in treating and preventing the loss of bone mass. Women commonly experience this after they have gone through menopause, when their bodies produce less hormones to help this. Natural hormone replacement therapy can help stop the loss of bone mass and prevent bones from fracturing.

Treatment can be administered through creams and patches. This method allows them to be taken straight into the blood without first going through the digestive system. This form of application is simple to use and can be used on specific parts of the body where it is needed.

There are also oral treatments available in the form of pills. The main downside to the pill form is that before the hormones reach the bloodstream they must first go through the digestive system. Because of this, they may be modified or broken down by chemicals in the body.

The risks are not well known as this form of therapy has yet to be approved by the FDA. The products are not manufactured by pharmaceutical companies, but rather by companies that promote the use of naturally occurring products. Because they do not have much scientific backing, the only way to measure the effectiveness of the product is through use.

Benefits of these products claim to be similar to those of traditional hormone treatments. They help women to deal with the symptoms of menopause and early onset menopause, as well as preventing and treating bone mass loss and ovarian function. Unlike traditional therapies, these products use all naturally occurring substances that are found in plants and other places. These substances are very similar to those produced by humans and work with the body in similar ways.

As with all medical treatments it is important to consult a doctor before using natural hormone replacement therapies. If there are any medical problems that appear during use, tell the doctor and stop using the products. And, always do research before starting any therapy.
